Ladies and gentlemen, boys and girls, children of all ages, welcome to another episode of the wrestling returns. Night of Champions, 2023. We are finally back, a little late and wrong with this one, but I'm your host, Brian. With me as always, my brother Nez. What's up, man? Oh, man. I'm going to give you guys a double feature of Money in the Bank. Is that next week?

Yeah. It might be this week. I think it's on the seventh, I think, whatever day that is. I don't know. But yeah, Night of Champions. It's happened almost a month ago. Yeah, everyone, we're super behind. Sorry about that.

But this one took place in Saudi Arabia at the Jeddah Superdome or whatever they called it. I thought it was the ones where, The one they did it before, there was no roof. It was a big hole. And that was the one where I think when Goldberg almost killed The Undertaker, whatever those ones were over there. Yeah. What did you think of the crowd?

I thought they were pretty hyped. Yeah, I thought they were pretty into it. I know we've talked a bunch about how you can tell, like, I guess the richer royal fans are up front but it kind of looks like it's more the actual fans and kids

that are starting to be more up front so I kind of dug that I want to say I think they put them on the other side when they had all the fancy chairs and all that but I think

for what I'm seeing I'm on the screen right now one. Yeah, it's like the regular WWE universe is all right there. There's even a white guy and his son

right there in the front. They clearly stick out overall, all everyone else. So, but I just thought everybody was pretty hyped. Usually not as hyped as

was the one. The last pay-per-view. So, backlash. Yeah. That was like the most hype that we've had, and then the longest. So, but... Yeah, rolling through it, everyone.

This thing can be no three-hour one. The first match was for the WWE Heavyweight, new Heavyweight Championship belt. What did you think of the belt? It's okay. it's nothing exciting it looks a lot better than the

whatever belt they just gave Roman because that one definitely does not look good they didn't want them holding two so they just give you one I mean like I know Oscar got a new one Rea got a new one

yeah but your girl Charlotte came out to interrupt Aska and I don't know if they're keeping the other belt around or if it was a a botch or something but she I guess apparently neither didn't

notice that Aska had a new belt and thought they were still wrestling for the other belt and specifically pointed out the old belts I don't know because Roman's still carrying around like three belts or something I don't know but yeah they have

Anyway one, it's It's a little, it looks a little more. It looks a little different than the, than the old one was. But I was kind of disappointing. They did just give it back to Edge that someone battle him for it. Because if you guys remember when he had to retire, he had to, he had to give it up. So, but I don't know. But this mass that we've seen, we've seen this many times, not to say it was a bad,

match. Seth Freakin Rollins, the Monday Night Messiah or Seth Frickin' Rollins or whatever you want to call him now. Taking on the phenomenal AJ styles. Both of the got these two

performers amazing and even when they're not battling each other. I was kind of disappointed in the outcome because I already knew who was going to win it. But I well, this is old

everyone, you should have seen it by now. But yeah, Seth ended up winning. I was hoping for more of AJ. Because I don't know, man. I mean, AJ's there. He kicks ass and everything. But in my opinion, he just, I don't know, man. I don't know what they're

doing with him. They're just letting him do what he do and then he gets beat down. But overall, man, this match was good, man. It was back and forth. It wasn't just a one-sided match and we'll get to that one-sided later

on but these two are just beating the hell out of each other. What I love the most about both of them is some people are saying, oh, they have pretty much the same style. It's nothing new. They're both high flyers and they both

like to just bounce off the ropes and everything, but I wouldn't go as far as saying that they have the both the same style. If you want to say anything It's just the long hair is getting in their faces for both of them But because there was one time when AJ got slammed And he was laying there like he was knocked out

But he had enough strength to move the hair out of his face I was like ah come up But other than that man I thought the match was good Like you said Seth ended up pulling it out But before before we found out who the winner was Who did you think was going to win? I thought Seth was going to take it.

I think I think AJ's kind of near the end of, I don't know if he's at the end of his career or if he's at the end of his WWE career, but I just didn't really see them putting this new title on, on AJ. So I kind of figured we were going to get, I mean, as far as match-wise, I knew it was going to be a good match,

but it just kind of felt like something we've seen before and yeah I just figured they just throw it on Seth yeah we need um Shinska had to come in and take it but I don't know we'll see

because they've been just again my opinion I don't know what they're doing with him he's just there now but yeah I don't know but yeah Seth ended up pulling it out at the end

because it was going going back and forth and they kept pinning each other kept locking each other and up and everything so I thought that was cool. AJ, he almost got there was times that they were on the rope.

I can't remember what move Seth was going to try to do on him, but he kind of flipped AJ and AJ almost landed on his head. It looks like he kind of tucked in a little more quicker because I was like, ooh, it looked like he wasn't come down right on his head. But there was a little bit of blood.

not much because AJ had a little blood's mark on his head but I didn't care for the finish it was just Seth when he he dove out of the ring

earlier and the way he came down you can clearly see that he kind of tweaked his knee but the way he was babying it from after he jumped out of the ring he kept like

trying to stumble he tried to curb stomp and then fell a couple times He tried to do other moves and kept falling. But it was like as soon as he won, after he did the pedigree and he won, he jumped up like it was no problem. He was walking. I was like, come on.

This is all the adrenaline from winning. But it was cool, though. But yeah, when Seth took that curb stump, man, that was it. He looked like he sold that one pretty good. He slammed his head hard. Sorry about the dog, everyone. He's running around the house and barking. Sorry.

The crowd, everybody was hyped. Everybody was happy. Triple H came in and gave Seth the belt. It just reminded me. I thought he was going to cry again, because if you guys remember back in the NXT days when Seth Rallens won, he was at the verge of tears for winning the belt.

But the crowd was hyped. Man, they were all singing and chanting along to his theme song, the next match don't get me wrong I love both of them but this was really for nothing I don't know I don't even understand

the feud it's not like Becky's I mean Becky's one of the top performers but she's not like at the top right now yeah I just I didn't get it it was not a champion It was supposed to be a title match every match,

but this one was just a filler to let some of the women shine. Got big time back, Specky Lynch. The man taking on the W.W.E. Hall of Fame of Trish Stratis. I love her. Don't get me wrong. She kicked ass during the attitude era. She's still beautiful. I kind of like her now. She's older than she was, but.

I mean, she hasn't really, since she's been back in wrestling and been in action, I mean, same thing with Lita. Don't get me wrong, Lita's my favorite, and I love her. But I don't know, man, it's when they bring them back, they can't do what they used to do, what they did. Yeah. So, I mean, people all they just got, they had Trish Stratus back in the day because of how she looked. Of course.

I mean, I think back then. But I don't know. be wrong. Someone's probably yelling at me for saying that. Yeah, since they're over in Saudi Arabia, the women, I don't know what the thing is over there. That women have to be covered

because they were all the way to the wrists and full body suits and everything. Nothing much shown. They didn't have to cover their faces. Yeah, I think they stepped away from that. Because I remember they wouldn't even let women wrestle over there.

This is on like the third, maybe fourth pay-per-view that they let the women wrestle. Yeah. But I did like Becky Lynch's Game of Death attire. If you guys have seen that, a Bruce Lee movie. Yeah, it's a game of death. It's not Kill Bill. Like everybody kept calling Kill. Oh, she's, woman Thirmer from Kill Bill.

I was like, where do you think they go? got it from. It does look like a little biker suit that is she, what was her name in Kelville? They needed to call her the bride or what was it? I think Be a, Beatrix kiddo. Yeah, because she was riding the motorcycle and everything on that and Bruce Lee's was just a

little body suit. But no, yeah, they got it from Game of Death they had won before. But, I mean, this match, I thought they did I thought they It went back and forth Becky come on Just fix your hair again

And as long as she don't come back With the bangs I didn't like it I mean I didn't like anything When she was big time Bex I didn't mind the glasses

I thought that was cool But I didn't like the one When her hair was all cut crazy Because Somebody cut her hair During one of those favorite I remember and it was all crazy and everything with Tristratus she still looks the

same she's rolling in there with all black and hot pink stripe down the side what is say on the back uh straight no not stratisfaction um come on turn around they're showing it too fast I can't I can't see but uh but I think it says something if I'm trying to remember I think it said something like you're welcome or something or maybe I'm thinking of another night because the whole she's a legend and everybody should thank her or something oh it says thank you trish yeah that's what it is yeah she's got becky outside of the ring now she's just slamming her back and forth on the on the steel stairs i mean i'll give it to becky man she was

taking uh them lumps against the stairs against the stairs and uh dumb Coria hate him. The other the other guys that are announcing the What are they over there? I mean, the Saudi Arabia, was it? I don't know the proper.

Yeah, I don't. I want to call them Saudis. I don't want to call them anything. No disrespect. I don't know. Yeah. Those guys, they're right there. I mean, they jumped up quick when they fell out of the ring.

I know the one guy, he's quick to jump over the rail. Oh, man, those guys are awesome. Especially when they used to have the Spanids Announce team. They always jumped up hell of fast. But yeah, Tristrata, she was pretty much holding this whole match for a while. And Becky came back every now and then. But with this one, oh, the last match, they gave it a B minus. This CBSports.com, they gave it a C-plus.

Because Trish Stratus ended up beaten Vicki Lynch via pinfall. But it went back on the fourth, man. Both of them were doing what they were doing. Trish, I mean, when she was doing her stratisfaction and the other move that she does, it was a little rough. I mean, you're older. You're not as young as you used to be. But she's still out there doing it, so I mean, I can give her that.

I mean, of course, people were saying Becky was carrying her the whole time, but I don't know. I don't think so. I did like to finish of, what was her name, Zoe Starks from NXT. It was hiding under the ring and basically gave her the go to sleep, the CM. punk go to sleep move and then threw Becky in for for church to pin her so

they got their little alliance going on yeah she came out from under the ring Hornswoggle style and Bip kicked her in the head and that was it I don't even know what the ref was doing he was like

looking the other way all right yeah I really just got nothing to do wrestling but my personal I don't know what it is I if somebody's eyebrows are distracting

that's all I see and I don't know this refs this refs name but his his eyebrows were bugging me every time they showed his face that's all I could see perfectly parted in the middle but I'm like oh man I mean guy or gal

it don't matter if your eyebrows are in my it look weird to me I can't that's all I can see but yeah every time they showed him I think for me is if you don't have eyebrows. I can't stop looking. That too, but

I don't know. It just looks too. I hate it. I mean, don't get me wrong, man. I'm not the greatest looking out of the world. My eyebrows are just normal. I got the end of the eyebrow now and then, but I don't know what it is.

I couldn't do that. If I was just sit there and pluck my eyebrows and make them all perfect look and everyone started talking shit about me, but either way, Yeah, fast forwarding to the end. Trish ended up winning. But yeah, what was a girl's name that came out from under the ring?

Zoe Starks. Yeah. She's a big gal because she came out. She picked up Becky and did her the flip, go to sleep. Perfect cell, though. Becky did pink, took it right to the jaw. So I thought that was really cool. I was like, how long was she under there?

I mean, do they just... I think there was a camera angle that when Trish, like, lifted the apron of, you can see a monitor under there so she can tell when's the right time to come out. So was she under there, like, the whole time, all the previous matches? Or did she just... I think so. During the commercial break. Well, Becky, she took it hard, like I said, to the face, because her nose was bleating. at the end

there's no love I'm not the times they're gonna break her nose I still don't get me wrong people were mad at her and I Jack she's my girl but yeah I mean she clocked Becky that one time

you know kick kickstarted the man's career with that yep oh man yeah yeah Tristratus ended up pulling it out with the help

of what's their nuts all right on to the next match the Intercontinental championship match Gunther taking on Mustafa Ali

who are we didn't come out in there uh shit uh damn

put me on the spot I can't think of their names you got the one dude that's supposed to be like the one guy when Roussev was coming out doing his little announcing

got the other guy that just never says anything. Imperium, I know that's what they're called. I don't know what the individual guys are called. The ring general, Gunther. All right. I mean, don't get me wrong. He is awesome. He does what he does.

He's a big guy. He's tall. And Mustafa Ali, I don't, he's tall, too. I know he's tall than me. but I was hoping for Mustafa Ali to win just because where they were, but there was no love.

No, it wasn't. The crowd was going back and forth. The crowd was going back and forth for both of them. It wasn't like they were booing goon to the whole time. So, but Mustafa Ali's badass period. I've always loved him since he came onto the scene. Yeah. Yeah, I just knew he wasn't going to win, though,

because they're really pushing Gunther. Yeah. I was kind of hoping that he would almost win, and then those other two fools would interfere, but Guntheri is throwing him all over the ring, because he kept slamming him hell hard. I love how they always just chess ends up all red at the end. because Mustafa Ali was bringing it to him.

But I love what Goethe was giving him the clotheslines and how Mustafa was just selling him so good, do that extra flip. Yeah, he comes out and come at you hard and everything. But yeah, I wanted Mustafa Ali to win this one. I don't know. Like I said, the crowd was going back and forth for both of them. so it wasn't like

it was a booed him the entire time but every time Mustafa would pin their crowd was on their feet they were pretty much on the feet the whole time

yeah I think I told you I had a comment on the backlash pay-per-view saying that was like one of the worst pay-per-views of the year I had the same guy

comment on this one what are you saying pretty much the same thing I'm like are you watching these pay-per-views or are you just assuming they're going to be bad I mean not every pay-per-view is good

but backlash was hell of good I think I just thought so much as it was because how hyped the crowd was I mean that was the first one they've had down there for them and they were they were super hyped so I mean that got me hyped and I was just sitting in my house but this one too man this match i mean i love how uh hype the crowds get i mean don't get me wrong

we get hyped here in america too but when they when you take it overseas i mean the they don't get it as much as we do so they got to be high that's why they have it in these big giant this is a soccer stadium or i don't know what what sports they play over there other than this. But, yeah, Gungthor, he was just beating his ass.

I love how he always just yells and screams at him and tries to talk to him. Listen to me. But, oh, damn. Oh, super kicked. See,

that's where I thought it was it. He super kicked. Mustafa super kicked him. Then he jumped up, the flying DDT. And I thought this was it. I was so hype, man.

This is the end of the match. Everyone, I was, oh, man, I was super excited. then the 450 splash, boom, nobody there. And Gunther drop kicks him. That was pretty, that was the end right there.

Pick him up, power bomb, push. One, two, three. That was it. But, I mean, again, these two went at it hard. Yeah, like you said, they're pushing Gunther just a little bit more. But we'll see. when's he going to fight

Roman Reigns I think I think they're slowly building them of I don't I think they're not trying to push him too fast too quick because Romans have been fighting the same guys over and over so but

long as he's not wrestling Brock again but yeah Gunther defeated him via pinfall they gave this match a a minus so so far out of these cut first few matches this has been the highest the highest one all right the next match I was happy with the outcome but I'm kind of shocked at them what they're

doing maybe oh not Charlotte coming back anyway but this is a championship match the EST, Bianca Belair taking on the Empress of Tomorrow Oscar I love that people were saying that they don't like they were saying Oscar's clown makeup I don't think she's being a clown

but that's my opinion but I like the makeup that she's wearing now and this match I've noticed since the women have to be pretty much fully covered Bianca looked like she or both of them looked like they were having issues when they were trying to pick each other up.

Yeah. It was like their hands were slipping on the material. Because Aska is kind of, it's looks like a velvety type of material. Yeah. So I don't. Because usually when I went to Bianca either just throws you or slams you some way, it wasn't. that heart of an impact. She seemed like she was kind of

not struggling that she couldn't lift her, but struggling that she couldn't get a good grip. Because this match was really fast-paced. And I love it when Bianca's hair is braided.

This, it was all wild in this one. Yeah, I had to refer to my wife on this one because I asked her, why does it look like it's coming undone and the match just started. I guess it's, she said neither they didn't do a good job, but what she thinks it is, it's called a goddess braid.

It's supposed to look like that. So it's coming from a wife. She does hair, so, but she said, that's what she thinks it is. She highly doubts that they just let her come out with the coming undone like that. Yeah, looking all through. No, man. but it's not a real hair somebody's going

why is her hair her hair's really that long? No it's I only know it's because when she was at one of those award shows was an SB

yeah it was a few years ago with well she's not Sasha Banks no more Mercedes Monet her and she did

her hair it was long but not as long long as it is. I was like, hey, wait it. Oh, that's when I realized that it was extensions.

So, but I'm just realizing Jessica's in here. You got to wear the long black sleeves under her refs shirt. But yeah, this match, man, both of them, man.

They were beating the head out of each other. Of course, man. If you guys, Oscar, she's just amazing, period, in the ring. And Bianca Bella, yeah, when she came on the scene and then she came up to the main roster, she's just been kicking ass because she's got that strength. We've seen her many times. She carries these ladies up those stairs, holds them up and everything.

So she's the best. She has the EST. For me, depending on who she's wrestling. I mean, yeah, whether she's wrestling, like, what's her name? Corey's wife. The hell's her name? Carmella? Carmella.

Yeah, the queen of Staten Island or princess, whatever she is. But anyway, yeah, this match was good, man. I mean, overall, I thought it was a good match, and I was happy with the outcome. Do you think this was a better match than the WrestleMania one? Oh, no. Not even close. What did you think?

I didn't think it was as good as the WrestleMania match. I don't know if it was their first meeting. I pretty sure it wasn't their first meeting, but definitely I enjoyed the outcome better this time because I kind of felt like Oscar should have took it at WrestleMania. But it didn't happen. Yeah, I thought the match was, was fast-paced.

They were hitting all the moves. I did see what you were saying about maybe it was difficult for the fabric to grab a hold of it. And I don't know. I just kind of felt like Bianca wasn't comfortable wearing what she was wearing. I don't know if she was just kind of adjusting it

or what or, yeah, but I did like the outcome with the, wasn't able to spit the mist in the face, but spit it in the hand and rubbing in the eyes. I like that tactic. Did Joe, Oscar had Bianca on the ground. She was kind of walking around

and just giving her those stumps to the face. She did it twice, but that first one looked like she connected pretty hard on her, that she did it again, not as hard. But yeah, I think Bianca just couldn't get good grips. Because, I mean, usually they don't have sleeves. I mean, you can

lock arms or just grab skin and of course you're probably all sweaty and everything, but you can get a bit of grip than material that'll move when you try to pick it up. So I don't know, maybe that's just how it was going. But yeah, when Oscar was doing the

blue mist, I liked it when it was green. But yeah, she tried to hit her hit Bianca with it, but she she missed. But is it just some little those little capsules that she puts in her mouth and it's just a spit or does she drink something really quick when we can't see?

That's a good question. Because I used to, I originally thought it was a capsule, but now I'm thinking about it. That's a lot that she's spitting out. Yeah. That's why I asked. question because I'm like all right man

I mean we're still in the ages of COVID everyone and you're getting spit on basically I was like wait a minute but yeah I thought it was good because when she first did it the first time she Bianca ducked and I missed but there was a lot of big blue drops

on her on her back because Bianca's wearing not all white, but it's basically pretty much all white and gold her outfit. And she got out of the way, but then when Oscar fell off to the side,

soon she did it again, she was spitting it in her hands. And when Bianca picked her up for, what's that move called? She has them on her shoulders? Oh, damn. Somebody's yelling. Yeah.

Like when Brock Leznor picks up everyone for the F-5s. He had her up on her shoulders. But on her back, had Oscar on her. Yeah, the kiss of death, the KOD. Yeah, had her on her back. And Bianca spit in her hair up. Oscar spit the mist in her hand. And, like, just barely rubbed it in her eyes.

I mean, it wasn't that much. But Bianca actually, like, it was like acid. She, ah! You know it was really ridiculous. is after she got pinned and lost, the doctor, the ref, came in super quick with the towel because, you know, it's supposed to be burning. Yeah.

They completely cleaned her face within seconds. I was like, wait a minute. Looks like there's nothing on your face at all. Yeah. Yeah, because even when she spits the first time, Jessica even got out of the way. she dug quick but Bianca was a

baby in her right of arm she looks like she came down hard when she got slammed and yeah we see Oscar crawling over to the side spitting the mist in her hands it didn't look like she spit that much but

yeah like you said okay never mind let me take that bag it looks like a lot in her hand but yeah when she picks her up for the KOD she reaches down barely relatively rubbed it in her eye and then she's ah! And then Oscar

kicks her in the side of the head, then kicks her in the back of the head. She falls down, flips her over one, two, three, and Oscar is the new raw women's champion. Bianca's still flailing everywhere, holding her eyes.

And then here comes whoever with one wipe of the towel. It's all gone. I was surprised, man. I didn't think, I thought I knew it was going to be a good match, but I didn't think Oscar was going to win. Yeah.

I was surprised that when they did the ceremony on, I think it was SmackDown, and immediately Charlotte comes out, I'm like, are we fucking doing this again? Yeah, I was kind of like, don't get me wrong I love Charlotte to death but

how many times Is Bianca going to the bottom again? Are they going to make her go back to NXT to carry some I don't know what they do For big stars I don't like it

but like I think recently like Dana Brooke went and Baron Corbin went like those guys I'm cool with because that gives them something to do but I didn't like I think last

last week or this week as we're recording I think Seth Rollins had a match and I was like you don't need to be wrestling on NXT no he's get down

I don't know why they do that I'm gonna ask Triple H when Triple H comes on the show everyone we'll ask them but I don't oh about this

but again I was happy that Oscar, she's the new raw women's champion, so it was

cool that she did win. It was a shocker to me because I was not expecting that at all. I mean, it was like they kicked

ass the whole match but when it got to the end either they were just running out of gas or what, because it was like boom, boom, boom, boom over.

I was like, hey, what happened? So, but anyway, on the next match, this is the one I was looking forward

to the most. Smackoff, my girl, Mommy, Leah Ripley, taking on Natalia. And I was like, really? When I first heard the matchup,

I was like, don't get me wrong, I love Natty. Beautiful young woman, but first of all, I knew she wasn't going to win. Oh, yeah. So as you heard this matchup,

you're like, Natty, you're about to get smashed. yeah it's so in this match it was like maybe two minutes if that

I got it I'm looking at it here it's listed at one minute 10 seconds oh man it took them longer to get into the ring

in the introductions CBS Sports they gave it a B plus I'm like I already gave it an A just for real being in the ring I

I would give it a little high grade because of the setup for the match. Because I think they struck gold with Dominic Mysterio being to heal. Yeah. Because the crowd hates his ass. I mean, this guy can't even talk on the mic. It gets so loud from everybody booing him. So I like the setup, but, you know, it wasn't really a match. Mm-mm.

It was just, they were just, hey, man, we're going over time. You guys need to get in there and get out. and Dominic with She's My Mommy T-shirt Yes I got one As soon as I saw When I first air showed that I'm getting one

I ordered it I got mine But yeah This match I don't know what Rio was wearing Oh my God She's just all black purple I don't know if it's like patenting leather

Or whatever it is I bet they were in their sweat Nellard in it and Natty and her regular black and pink. But once the bell rang, Dominic distracted Natty, and then Ria came running up behind her and just like gave her the forearm.

And she, Natty falls out of the ring. She sold it good, though. Ria just kicked her out, that she jumped out of the ring. Natty's messing around. Ria kicks her. She goes falling into the announce table. Then Ria picks her up,

by the back of the head, slams her back onto the announce table. I don't know what she's young. Flams her again. Natty don't know what the hell's going on. She goes, all right, I'm going to do one more time. Third time I'm on the table. Natty falls to the ground.

Picks her up. Boom. Slams her into the stairs. Dominic's jumping around. Laughing. Yes, because his dad, everyone. I like what they're doing with this. Ria picks her back up,

runs her to the other corners, throws her into the ring or into the steel stairs picks her back up throws her into the ring Rhea jumps in Dominic being all stupid I think he just gave her kick getting shitty camera work

picked her uh picks up Natty for the riptide was pretty early picks her up boom slams her on the ground folder one two three over I was like What?

What? I'm happy for the outcome. Don't get me wrong. I love my. But the part I love to this match is after she, after Rear won, Dominic runs and jumps in her arms and she's holding them up. I'll give it to them. I love this.

I love this hook on these, this couple. We all know that she's banging. What's his name? My buddy, Rich. What else is that buddy Murphy? Yeah, I think they, I think I seen a video. I didn't watch the whole video,

but I think the, like, whoever he was feuding with in AW, like they brought that shit up. Oh, did they? Yeah, like on TV. I was like, damn. WayW, man.

Anything goes over there. You can get in fights and not get fired. allegedly I still say that was a work everyone I mean well that one guy got fired

yeah that allegedly bit somebody I guess biting was too far but punk's back everyone did you watch collision yeah

I didn't I didn't watch the whole thing I watched his promo I just yeah I watched that and I watched the very very sorry not sorry

promo. Love them or hate them, everyone. I mean, I love punk even back in the day. Is he grumpy? Of course he is. When you get old, you get grumpy like I do. Anyway, but I read an interview with, what's his name, Eddie Kingston.

He said all that talk about the locker rooms divided. He said that if anybody has a problem with, punk is like a small percentage, and it's none of the people he fucks with. So I think you might be right. I think they're just trying to work it. Well, he did have to go out to get surgery. Maybe that's a way to do it.

But yeah. What they grade that, man? Oh, they give that one a B plus. I would give it an A just for Ria being there. Mommy, if you're listening, I love you. leader you're still my number one but out of the new batch ria is leading the charge what were you going to say i was going to say you only live once yeah all right on to the next match i wasn't really feeling this because we had just seen it but this match was pretty awesome you got uh brock lesnar and the

american nightmare cody roads battling at it again Brock broke Cody's arm earlier Of it Everyone was in It was a cast I did look like no cast It looked just like a black arm wrap

A red But who knows Maybe that's a new cast I don't know I don't want to know I broke bones And I don't want to break anymore But

Okay And now I brought up to I won't say his name I'll throw him out there like that But the guy that made it That keeps commenting Like when I watch These paper views

he also commented on Cody saying he's probably one of the worst performers in WWE. Yeah. All right. As I was watching this, I'm watching it right now. Did we love Cody's mustache?

Yes. Did we like Stardust? It was funny when he first came out and I loved how he was into it because it was his job. but once he went to AEW and became the American nightmare and everything, I just thought it was all uphill from there. And it's still uphill.

Did he get where he was because of his dad and his brother was? Of course. But he performs. He does what he needs to do in the ring. I mean, love him or hate him. I mean, I know a lot of people didn't care for him in the beginning, but I think he's paid his dues, man. And he does, he's good in the ring.

Yeah. If you guys remember that one paper review, I don't know if it was last year or the year before, when he tore his bicep or whatever, and it was all like huge bruise, and he still went out there and put on a good performance. I tell everybody to go when he left WW, the time between WW and AEW when he was going,

working his way through the Indies, he did like a whole heel run. and it was fucking amazing like his mic work and everything so I was just I thought that was crazy just like oh this pay per view is horrible Cody Rhodes is one of the

the worst performers and he's been a complete he said something about he's been a complete bus since he came back I was like what I don't know where this guy's watching but I didn't

didn't care for Cody in the beginning stages of his career. But since the Indies and the AEW run and then coming back, I mean, like I said, man, people they didn't hate them, but they didn't like him because

on his, when you, in the I don't know, in the 2010s, I don't know, if you want to call it that or whatever, during the mustache era and everything. I mean, and the God, the Stardust.

I mean, I don't know, everyone. I mean, these wrestlers can't please everyone. I mean, there's some people that have been in the WWE are just wrestling in general that I hate, but they're still still out there doing it, and they perform, man, so I can give it. But Cody Rhodes, I wasn't a fan of his in the beginning. When he went to AEW and he was kicking ass,

I thought that was cool. And he did the indie run stuff was awesome. And I thought since he came back to WWA, I think he's been doing good. He's been having good matches back or forth, whoever they put him up against. Yeah, honestly, I think they would have let him win at WrestleMania if Roman wasn't about to be, like, what, a thousand days of champion?

If that wasn't a factor, I don't even think they would have let Roman win. But since he was about to hit a thousand days, I think that's why they, like, let him keep the best. Yeah, I don't know what they're doing. I don't even wrong with. I love Roman as well. But yeah, they're pushing them. I don't think he can come back and be a face anymore.

No. Roman, I think he does better as a hill. Same thing with Bailey. I don't think she can come back. Oh, they would, they would tear her apart. If she came back with the side ponytail and the neon colors and the slap bracelets, they would booze the shit out of her. The Bailey buddies,

No, I don't want that. I just watched the video when she came out right when she started her heel run, and she had an axe handle with a blade on it, was cutting up the Bailey buddies and all that. Oh, anyway, but this match, it was good. Brock was beating the hell out of Cody in the beginning. But then Cody came back, and he gave him that kick, and that kind of dazed Brock, and that's when Cody took over, because he kept giving him the... crossroads left and right

and then they fell out of the ring there was blood but I think it was just Brock Lesnar's shoulder looks like he scraped his shoulder on something but when the Camaro lock started he kept

I thought he was going to break Cody's arm again because he got him into that a bunch of times but Cody was using that cast as a weapon and I'm surprised that the the ref didn't stop him because he kept hitting him in the head over and over.

Because that's what was dazing, Brock, because when Brock would get up, he'd fall and stumble again. But, yeah, it didn't work. I mean, I thought Cody was going to win. Seriously, the way the match changed in his favor, and he was just beating the hell out of Brock.

But then, of course, Brock bouncing. back started with the F5s and then that's when Cody was starting to get days from getting dropped all over the place and then he got him in that that last Camaro lock and he didn't tap out he faded out didn't he like passed out from the pain so he lost but technically he never tapped out he never gave up I mean because these two I mean Brock I mean, his, he was just like super red from just his whole body, his face, looked like a red tomato. Yeah, he got Cody and that Camaro Lock and Cody just passed out.

It looked like Brock was still trying to break his arm because the ref jumps in, the bell's ringing, and he's trying to pull him apart, and Brock's like, ah, get away. Tell Brock it's not the UFC no more, calm down. But everyone was there for it. They were hyped. Cody snapped out of it pretty quick as soon as he let him go. He opened his eyes and he's flailing around on the ground trying to catch his breath. Yeah, Brock, man, he looks like he's, I don't know if he's coming to the end,

but he, I have noticed every time his match towards the end, he's doing the Undertaker, just falling on his knees and huffing and pulling him. often. Yeah, I don't know how much Brock needs to do. I mean, I will say some of his matches lately, I have been entertained. But I don't really see him doing this much longer. I might like his promos now. I mean, he is a different Brock.

He's not just the asshole. He comes out and at the cowboy hat and all that nonsense. I was about to say I was about to say he's got your favorite little brain on top of his head I hate it just cut it off

but yeah they gave that match a B plus yeah I'm cool with that on to the main event the underspeed of tag team championship Kevin Owens and Sammy Zane taking on Roman Rains and solo Sacoa.

I don't know what Sammy Zane was wearing when he came out, but he was paying respects to everybody over there. So I thought that was... Well, he's Muslim. Oh, he is? Like, for real? Yeah. All right.

Cool. So I saw a thing, like, he got to basically do stuff and check stuff out there that he thought he would never get to do in his life. So it was kind of a good moment for him to kind of represent that. Oh, okay. That's what all those videos were then. All right. Yeah, because I saw he was out there doing his thing when they were over there,

going all over the place and going to, I don't know, ceremony. I don't want to call it church. I mean, I don't know what they call it over there. But all right, cool. I don't know. I just thought it was WWE making him do it. it all. All right. Cool, right on. Yeah, but those two guys,

they came out with their double belts. Okay. I mean, I like it. Everyone's carrying around multiple belts, but I don't know. Yeah, Becky two belts. She did it. Yeah, but Roman

cool. He's got the Universal and the raw one. Well, you see, Rhonda and what's their name they got the tag belts and the NXT tag belts too now

so they double belted it now I don't know when this is the age of double belts everyone but they need to come out with a two pack with Sammy Zane and Kevin Owens

with two belts because there's what out there Roman, he's got two belts. I collect wrestling figures. I just the ones that I like, mainly the ones right now I've been getting is the Rea Ripley ones and Kansas Lurray. No, Corey Grave. Hell no.

I'm going to find that one for you. I know he was released. Is he just going to do what he do and just sit there and not do nothing? Or are they going to let him back in? I don't know He just come back in and Shinske can whoop his ass or something Yeah, they probably have him

Win over Shinske Sammy Zane's up there now Speaking the language I don't know what he's saying everyone But everyone's loving it Because they're all hooting and hollering And screaming Speaking of the crowds

Somebody kept holding out some kind of cola sign Maybe it's just Something over there I've never heard of this of this cola. I'll try it. I mean, don't get a sun cola or is that. Is that what it says?

I don't know. They must have been selling different flags over there because someone's been holding up a Roman rain flag. Yeah, sun cola. I don't know if that's a cola or if that's somebody personality over there. But yeah, everyone's on their feet and they're ready. for this match. I was too, man. I was pretty hyped. I mean, all of them are especially Sammy Zane.

I remember I'm not that big of a Sammy Zane fan, but lately he's been badass, so giving him his props right now. What did you think of this match? I thought this was probably one of the better matches of the night. I continue to say this bloodline story is

the best storyline in years. and there was a point in the match. I really thought Roman was going to have some more belts. And then we got a little interference at the end. And I just love how it all played out at the end. And the match overall, it was Sammy. I love, I've been a big fan of Sammy. And I love that they let him actually wrestle now instead of being goofy.

and then Kevin Kevin gets in there and he does he does the thing and solo he does his thing he comes in there and just wrecks everybody and then

yeah I thought this was one of the better matches than night and I love the outcome even though I kind of did want to see Roman have because technically he would have more belts yeah as you know he would have made solo

give that belt up it held six what's the the thumb move uh the simone spike I don't care what you are man your thumb's gonna break everyone

I mean you can don't care if you're the strongest man in the world that's why they tape it up oh man but yeah like you said man

they're letting Sammy do his thing now because before for a minute he was all like the the slap sticky sidekick just for laughs and getting beat up you remember when he was doing the conspiracy theory thing you do what you got to do everyone

to stay in the spotlight like what's his name that one dude he had kids oh heath yeah he was Oh man, they just They were doing them dirty And I did like the 3MB

I thought that was awesome Just the one man man and all that I'm sure What's his name? It's kind of good that's over with Both of them Drew and Gender

Yeah gender They told gender We're getting the 3MB back together He'd be like fine Whatever Drew Drew ain't having it no more I liked his run

Especially when he was champ I liked all that It didn't laugh very long But I was happy when they let him come back And they let him Because he came back Ripped Yeah I was listening

On somebody's show When he got let go He had a rough time He was just booze And eating junk and everything And then he finally Turned his life around So that was good

But, yeah, both of these guys, man, I still, I give it to Sammy because they, like in the earlier ones when he was with the bloodline, he was just getting the hell beating out of him. And he was still getting the hell beaten out of him by both of them. But Kevin Owens always comes in as to save the day. Solo's good. I mean, I like him, but how long has he been wrestling before he came up? I had never heard of him until he popped up in NXT. I didn't know they had another, or the Uso's had another brother, a shit, a little brother, because Solo looked like the older brother.

He wasn't in NFT that long, was he? No, because as soon as I started the bloodline thing, everybody was like, oh, he ain't going to last on an NXT, because there's some cousins and stuff that I'm hearing rumors that they're about the WWU's going to be. try to sign them from the indies to kind of form like a new bloodline no one i don't know we'll see bring back bring back night jacks i saw her saw her doing some uh conventions and stuff first to me that that she just does house shows collecting paychecks but yeah i mean roman

he comes in when he needs to because it seems like solo was doing most of the damage because when Roman first got in the ring he was going to take on Kevin Owens and then he he slapped solo and then solo crawled in there

and everyone booed but these rats are killing me man they pay attention because Roman just grabbed Savvy Zayden was bringing his neck on the ropes I would love for the shield to come back, but that ain't happening. I don't think.

Yeah, her Moxley's Blackballed from WWE. Yeah. Did they fire his wife? Yeah. I'll just go. I think neither, I think that neither they fired her or she quit

because she had issues with them. So I don't think she'll ever come back either. Oh. But if they can, back. I did like that whole shield run. I thought that was awesome.

Yeah, this heel run that yeah, like we said, he can't come back from this. No. It won't. Because they tried with the face and nobody was buying it. I was. I was eating it up. But

as soon as he became a heel, it seems like everyone, they still boo them, but they like this one more. And what are you? But yeah he's back he's in the ring now beating the hell out of sammy zan because yes sammy man he did most of this match because they just kept beating the hell out of him the whole time but yeah in the end the usos jumped in was this the beginning of the end

yeah i think for this original lineup of the bloodline it's it's it's done the bloodline's not done, but I think once they brought in solo, I think that was the beginning of the end. Because they kind of, solo came in with more of the, okay,

I'll be the yes man, dude. They got, they act like he don't even like his brothers. Yeah. They'd be touching him, you look at him, like, what the fuck you do it? Well, they probably beat him up his whole life when he was a little. There was some good promos to

This setting up this this whole Run in from the Uso's I don't know if you seen like the previous week before like Roman Romo was talking big shit to like I think Jimmy Jimmy would try to stand up to him and he was like Do something You know how it is

I'm whooped you then I'll whooped you now I was like damn beat your cousins up all their lives That's family everyone Especially of your boys I can only speak for boys Except another than me and my brothers Fighting me and my cousins

Fighting Yeah I didn't win all of them Yeah this this match was good though Man I liked everything that was happening in this And like I said Sammy Zane was pretty much taking most of the abuse.

But he was pulling his on in there too. He just got super kicked by Solo. Solo's about to give him the the Simone Spike or whatever. But he blocked it

and then picked him up and threw solo on the corner. Now he's laying there. Sammy's running. Boom. Kick. Boom. He's down. He's about to pin him, but no, Roman jumps in to save the day. Kevin Owens is laying out on the side of the ring, just on the ground.

He gets back into action. He starts throwing, uh, roaming around. Then here come the Usos. They come. They come jumping into action. I knew they were going to come. I was just waiting for it. But they came in at first kind of like beating up, uh, because they just jumped in, they started beating up Kevin Owens. Because he had, uh, Roman Raines on the announce table. Then they super kicked him. And then he goes down. So I was like, all right, cool, man.

It's going to be all good with them again. But no, it didn't happen. They gave Solo the business in there. Like I said, man, Sammy's a no love. Super kick. Super kick again for both of them. Oh, super kick boom. Then they kick solo in the face.

Because they were about to kick Sammy, but Sammy just fell because he was in the days. And he was standing right in front of solo, and boom. They super kicked him. It looked like by accident, but when Roman turned around just in time to see him, they were getting, he got all mad. He's got this crazy. Like, what are you doing?

And they're like, uh, he was in the way. So Roman starts pushing them around. He just pushed Jimmy by the head. head. Now Jay is trying to, come on. Just take it easy. Romans, he's getting on mad. Like, don't, don't talk. Yeah, can't be pushing nobody in their face. Yeah, don't touch me, basically.

Oh, then he's Roman just pushed the Jay in the face. He's pushing him again. There comes Jimmy, boom, super kick the Roman, right in the head. He's all dazed. Jay's looking at him like, oh man, what do I do? What do we do? And then they, it's, He's like, but Jimmy's getting all hyped up. And then Jay's like, what are you doing?

But Jay's, I fuck that. Jay's got that. I don't go fuck no more. Look. Jay's just trying to calm him down. And everybody's on their feet, even that white guy in the front. There's, like, oh, Solo's laying out on the side of the ring. He fell out.

He's still laying there. But then they're kind of, Jay is kind of. going back and forth with a boom super kicked him again. Yeah, I like that part. I like that part because Jay was like, what are you doing? He was like, don't worry, I got you ooze.

And then I kicked Romo more time. Rolling was out of his hands and knees. And Jay just big, super kicked him again. And he rolled out of the ring. So Jay's trying to hype him up. Or Jimmy's trying to hype him up. Jay's just like, I don't know. man, he's still got that

I don't know, are we doing is this the right thing to do? But the way Roman's been treating them, I'm surprised Jay's trying to think about this, but they're trying to get out of the ring, they're trying to walk away. We see Solo, he walks in, or he comes

crawling into the ring. Sammy's about to jump back up. Roman's still laying there, holding the side of his head. Solo's just staggering around, holding his jaw, trying to shake it off. There goes Kevin Owens. Whoop.

Ooh. Stunner. Tosol falls in the corner. Here comes Sammy Zane. Boot to the face. He falls down. Where's the ref? One, two, three, four.

There we goes. One, two. Then he pins him. I don't know where the ref was, because he came jumping in the rig. And then counting. It was like a count of seven. Because he had him out that first time.

But the Uso's, they backed up. They're kind of running up the ramp. Still arguing, trying to figure out what they're doing. Solo's laying there knocked out. Roman's still laying on the outside of the ring. And Sammy Zane and Kewito was still the champ. It was a good match, man. I thought where it's going to go.

We'll see. Again, we're like almost a month late with this one, everyone. Better late than never. But I thought this was a good pay-per-view. I don't know what that gentleman was talking about. Yeah, Cody Rhodes, he's awesome. My opinion, the American nightmare. Savvy's standing up on top ropes,

looking down on Roman holding his belt. The honorary use. I think the supper tried to touch Robin Ray's. Did he just hold his arm really quick? I have a feeling that Kevin Owens and the Uso's are going to team up. Who knows, maybe they're going to bring two other guys from the bloodline in and then a big old longer feud. But yeah, I'm with you, man.

This whole bloodline run has been awesome. You know the match that's set up for money in the bank is the bloodline Civil War, the Uso's versus Roman and Solo Oh, I don't know We'll see Muscle wise Roman and Solo

Whop them up But Yeah money in the bank Is this Saturday Oh it's I don't even know What day it is I'm looking at it right now

July 1st Yeah I thought it was Next weekend July 1st Live first live from London, England. All right, everyone.

We're not going to wait a month on that one. So, what? Oh, man. Yeah, better late than never, like I said, everyone. But that was night of champions. I thought it was a good pay-per-view. I was just mainly pissed that Mommy and Natty's match were so short. Did you say a minute in 10 seconds?

Yeah. All right. Who was a girl that came out from under the ring? Zoe Starks. All right. They just showed that scene again. Yeah, she kicked her right in the nose. The bloody nose.

But keep the party rolling, man. You can't just lay there. She'll be in the money in the bank, latter match. Zoe will. who's all in that I haven't even checked let me see men's

ladder match will be ricochet shinskay L.A. Knight Santos Escobar Pete Dunn because I refuse

to call him Butch Damian Priest and Logan Paul I say LA night's gonna win I'll say it right now everyone some reason they've been pushing him a little more.

I'm going to go with Shinske. Yeah, I mean, in the end, I would love that, but I kind of have a feeling. I say L.A. night, but now I'm thinking, Logan Paul, hmm. It might happen. Yeah, well, I don't know, everyone. We'll see. Let's see. Women's is Zelina Vega, Becky Lynch, Zoe Stark, Bailey, E.

Sky and Trish Stratis. I'm telling you right now, Trish ain't climbing up no ladder. I kind of have a feeling she's going to win, but no, I'm going to go with the Bayes champ. I want my girl Bailey to win. She needs this.

She hasn't had a bell in a while, so. My dark horse would be Zalina because I like Zalina, but I see Bailey winning by screwing over EO to get the brief case.

And that would be the end of dumbass damage control. I'm surprised Dakota Kai isn't in it, but... I think she got hurt. I'll see. I don't know everyone, but yeah, we're coming back really soon, everyone.

We're not going to, like I said, we ain't going to wait a month on that one. I'm not doing nothing for the next few weekends. So that's what's been killing us, everyone. Well, on my part. So I'm going to take the blame on all these late shows. I had something going on every weekend.

And then, oh, for those of you that did listen and those of you did reach out, my mom's all good. She's back at home. She's up and moving around. Yeah, she was in the hospital for like two weeks. For those you that didn't know, she read before my son's hours before my son's graduation that was earlier this month. My son's dog. He was still a puppy. He ran between my mom's legs and poop.

She fell on. We thought she just twisted her knee. But I took the x-rays. It broke her leg. So she had to get a, well, they had to remove all the, I guess all the little plates that she had in her knee for the knee surgery. That all got shifted.

They had to fix that again. Then they put like a metal rod in my mom's leg. And so I saw the x-rays. It didn't look good, but she's up and moving. I guess all the rehab that she had to do. They had her walking like the very next day after surgery. Oh, wow. Yeah, I didn't know that.

That's why I don't want to break no bones, everyone. So, yeah, they had her up. My mom said, yeah, they had her up and moving after they, because they had the, they don't want, they're not going to send you home until you can get around by yourself. She's using a walker, but she can't walk without it. But she said just a little stress off her leg using a walker. But I need to give her a call.

I read the last hour is when they left. But she said she was doing good. It still hurts, but not as bad as when it happened. So I'm glad that she's up in. moving and everyone that did reach out thank you so much mom is good so hopefully i'll be going down there pretty soon to visit but i don't know man it's like a billion degrees in Arizona so we'll see um oh we got a ninja three is coming everyone just old yours is it's coming it's been watched yeah it's been watched and um we still got to do uh we got the
