00:00There's backstage disagreement over WWE's Brock Lesnar plans, heat behind the scenes

00:05in AEW, my review of Monday Netflix Raw, and Naomi in an announcement nobody's speculated

00:12on.

00:13It's pregnant.

00:14I'm Oli Davis, and this is the WrestleTalk News.

00:19Two weeks ago, Bret Hart told a story about how WWE invited him down to SummerSlam so

00:24they could show him in the crowd, but when he got there, they told him they didn't

00:29have any seats.

00:30WWE told Hall of Famer Bret Hart they didn't have a seat for him on a two night, not sold

00:38out SummerSlam.

00:39And to make matters worse, I noticed Kevin Nash got a seat.

00:43Bret felt disrespected.

00:44We all felt disrespected that Bret felt disrespected.

00:48But now an interesting new development has come out.

00:51Kevin Nash wasn't there.

00:55The coolest wrestler to have ever lived, Kevin Nash, has now given his side of the story

00:59on his podcast.

01:00Well, number one, I didn't go to the show because I knew I didn't have a seat.

01:04It turns out Nash only attended SummerSlam to do a signing inside the arena, and then he

01:10left.

01:11Because…

01:12It's bad enough to f***ing have to watch f***ing wrestling without f***ing being able

01:16to f***ing fast forward through s***, let alone no f***ing announcing and volume.

01:20Thankfully Nash has called heart to explain this to him.

01:23But it kind of gets you doubting what might also be not true in professional wrestling,

01:27like WWE's TripleMania numbers.

01:30On last night's episode of Raw, WWE played a recap package from their newly acquired Mexican

01:35promotion Triple A, and their biggest show of the year, TripleMania.

01:40Which featured main roster talent like Finn Balor, Dominic Mysterio and, of course, Amos.

01:46Their press release boasted it was the most-viewed TripleMania in event history, with 4.3 million

01:52viewers in the first 24 hours on YouTube and a peak live concurrent audience of 614,000.

02:00What a brilliant success for the WWE and Triple A partnership.

02:03It just shows WWE knows better than regional promotions on how to do their regional wrestling.

02:10But yeah, just one more thing.

02:12Lucha Blog has pointed out TripleMania drew an average audience of 1.6 million when it

02:16aired on Azteca back in 2019, with 8.2 million total viewers.

02:20Or at least double what last Friday's event did.

02:23But you can't compare 2025 AAA to 2019 AAA Lucha Blog.

02:28I'm sure WWE's press release is just talking about the new era of the acquiring ownership.

02:34Yeah, just one more thing.

02:35Because by WWE's own numbers, their AAA World's Collide show back in June drew a peak of 764,000

02:43concurrent live viewers, meaning TripleMania's 614,000 is actually 20% lower show to show.

02:51And that's with the inflated attendance of Kevin Nash sitting in multiple seats.

02:55Now here's a message from this video's sponsor.

02:57Over to AEW now, and our own Sullivan Beau Brown will finally be taking on Colt Cabana

03:02at a Pizza Hut.

03:04Pizza Hut?

03:05Luke, Luke, I've figured it out.

03:06I've figured out all the cameras watching us.

03:08Yeah, I know.

03:09We went over this last month.

03:10We're in a studio.

03:11The studios have cameras.

03:12They film us.

03:13No, Luke.

03:14Bigger than that.

03:15They're all across London.

03:16Sorry, what?

03:17Look, I got on the train, and when I was on the train I saw a camera, then I got off the

03:23train, and I saw another camera as I got off the train, and then I looked across the platform

03:27and a guy was staring right back at me, and he had the face of a camera.

03:31Who was mad?

03:32A guy had the face of a camera?

03:34You sound mad!

03:35No I don't, but the whole world is watching us, Luke!

03:38The whole world!

03:39Oli, if this is just your commentary on the surveillance state of the modern Western world,

03:43can you at least talk about Surfshark while you do it?

03:46Surfshark?

03:47Yeah, Surfshark.

03:52anonymous, and also be able to watch content from all over the world with Surfshark VPN.

04:16Brock Lesnar made his WWE return in the closing moments of SummerSlam after a two year hiatus

04:21from the company.

04:2218 of those months away were because he was referenced in the Janelle Grant lawsuit against

04:27Vince McMahon, and WWE's legal team wouldn't clear using him.

04:31Something obviously changed last month, where WWE got the sign off for Lesnar to return.

04:36And his first reported match will be against John Cena, who he attacked at the end of SummerSlam

04:41at a special, as yet unannounced WWE show on the 20th of September.

04:47Which just so happens to be the same day as AEW's All Out PPV, but they're not competition.

04:52There are a lot of questions around this new event.

04:56Will it be called Wrestlepalooza, like WrestleVotes claim?

04:59Will it go on ESPN as an early preview of WWE's new PLE deal, which is due to start in April

05:052026?

05:06Will it actually mark the start of the ESPN era?

05:09As Wrestling Observer Live have reported there's talk all WWE PLEs from this show onwards will

05:15move onto the platform.

05:17Will Bret Hart get a seat to watch it?

05:20But there's also the oldest wrestling question of them all.

05:22Who's going over?

05:24According to Bodyslam.net, many in WWE want Cena to win the match, as it's his retirement

05:29year.

05:30A few figures in the company believe Lesnar should win, as it's his first match back

05:35following two years out.

05:36Over in AEW there's a different kind of disagreement, a disagreement Housen.

05:40Dan Housen thinks he should be let go if AEW have nothing for him, whereas AEW feel his contract

05:46should be made even longer.

05:48Dan Housen signed with AEW back in 2022, but he was put out for an extended period of time

05:53when he tore his pectoral muscle.

05:55He made one appearance at last year's ROH final battle show, but hasn't been seen since.

06:00According to Fightful, Dan Housen's contract was due to expire on the 1st of July, but

06:05AEW added what seems to be a significant amount of time, maybe for time missed due to injury,

06:11maybe by picking up an option, which now takes his contract well into 2026.

06:17Despite Dan Housen requesting, he leave the company after barely being used the last couple

06:22of years.

06:23AEW initially launched under the guise of not behaving like WWE, who would frequently elongate

06:29talent contracts to stop them working elsewhere, despite not using them.

06:33But over the last year, with the likes of Ricky Starks, Penta and now Dan Housen, they've

06:38done just that.

06:39Now it's time for my review of Monday Night Raw… in about 5 minutes.

06:44I'm starting to feel like I'm being personally trolled.

06:47For the last several weeks, Luke and I have been saying on the podcast that Seth's Vision

06:50faction is feeling increasingly like the repetitive, suffocating reigns of Triple H's Evolution, or

06:57Seth's previous faction, the Authoriti.

07:00Raw episodes all start and end the same way.

07:0320 minute opening in-ring promo of the Vision introducing themselves and them really doing

07:07nothing of note, and closing with the Vision main event, mostly with them all standing tall.

07:13So of course this episode began with a 20 minute in-ring Vision promo.

07:17At least there were some different riffs on the usual I'm Paul, here's Bron, here's

07:21Bronson, here's Seth, as they were in Philadelphia, the birthplace of Heyman's ECW, which let

07:27him do a Buurns gag, saying the crowd were chanting for Paulie, not OTC, and brilliantly

07:33pointing out Tommy Dreamer is still alive.

07:36To which Breaker went, he's not dead!

07:38Breaker continues to be the best thing about the Vision, when Seth tried to rile him up by

07:41saying Jey Uso was calling his family fat asses.

07:44Asuka and Kairi Sane apologised to Io Sky after their falling out last week, and promised

07:52not to come out to help Sky against Raquel Rodriguez, even though Roxanne Perez is clearly

07:58going to interfere.

07:59Io beat Raquel, and it was Rhea Ripley who ran down for the save when Roxanne inevitably

08:03jumped her, causing Asuka and Io to fall out again backstage.

08:07I'm going to really enjoy the eventual Io and Rhea vs Kabuki Warriors tag feud, but the

08:12journey to get there feels quite clunky, as I don't get why Io doesn't want backup

08:17against the judgement day.

08:18At least with the men's main event scene, it makes perfect sense.

08:22CM Punk told LA Knight they should watch each other's backs, where Knight said, no, I don't

08:26trust you.

08:27And in an even better bit of reasoning, Jey turned down his help too, even though he was

08:32fighting Breaker in the main event.

08:34Because he doesn't want to owe anyone favours going into their Fatal 4-Way match in Paris,

08:39where it's every man for themselves, putting over how important winning that title is to

08:43him.

08:44PENTA IS CONTINUING TO TAKE THE WWE BY STORM?

08:47BY HAVING A MATCH OVER A HAT?

08:49Railed weren't really into him beating Xavier Woods, but WWE don't have any better ideas

08:53for these guys, so we're getting PENTA vs Kofi Kingston next week.

08:57Carrying on the fun of the most watched event of all time TripleMania, Finn Balor and JD

09:02McDonough took on Dragon Lee and Mr Iguana.

09:05Dom interfered, helping Balor get the win.

09:13The Kingo made the save in the post-match angle, but Dom took him out with the Mega Championship,

09:18effectively building their title match at Worlds Collide on the 12th.

09:21Dominik was later caught chatting to El Grande Americano Ludwig Kaiser variant backstage, which

09:25Balor looked concerned by.

09:28The first Bayley promo was an engagingly subtle reality blurring, unreal aesthetic borrowing

09:33masterclass.

09:34That lasted one week, as the second instalment here had her full on talking to an evil version

09:38of herself.

09:39I'm not as into this as I was the more realistic heel direction.

09:42But all will be forgiven if we get Joker Sting Bayley.

09:45Becky Lynch worked over Natalya's arm in a decent match, building to her tapping in

09:49the disarmer.

09:50Becky beat up Maxine Dupree afterwards for Nikki Bella to make the save.

09:53Adam Pearce booked Sheamus vs Rusev in a Donnybrook match at Clash in Paris.

09:57He needs a drink.

09:58May I recommend Adam Pearce?

10:00And then we got the best segment on the whole show, Naomi's update on the status of her

10:05Women's Championship, where she introduced her own clip from Stephanie McMahon's podcast

10:10of Jimmy Uso revealing they are, in fact, her with child.

10:15It was a wonderful moment where everyone was genuinely happy for her.

10:19As was I, but deep down, the cynical wrestling fan in me was like, we're just gonna stop

10:23the great heel character work because someone's pregnant?

10:26Do the mushy stuff on the podcast, honey!

10:29Leave it off the wrestling show!

10:31So I was overjoyed when Naomi did just that, saying she ain't vacating the S-word, threatening

10:37Pierce to get out of the ring, and then cutting a great in-character promo, still a heel, but

10:43one everyone was now cheering about how the women's locker room should thank Jimmy Uso,

10:47as her being pregnant means she won't be beating them up, that Jimmy likes to Netflix

10:51and chill, Kpop Demon Hunters fan confirmed, and that the bloodline will continue.

11:00So now we know the finish of Roman's matches next year.

11:02Little Jimmy in a hoodie pulls the referee out of the ring.

11:04She laid her title in the middle of the ring, and promised when she's back, she's coming

11:08for whoever is holding it.

11:10This was an excellent example of how you can have your wrestling cake, as in being a heel,

11:16and eat it, or you let everyone enjoy the genuine real life good news.

11:21And that's because Naomi has become such a good promo.

11:24She would later reveal on Stephanie's podcast that she's seven weeks along, meaning that

11:28she wrestled five matches, including the SummerSlam triple threat and the No Holds Barred

11:33match at Evolution, while pregnant.

11:36She of course didn't find that out until after those.

11:39And the main event saw Jey Uso doing a new Jack homage, taking on Bron Breaker in an Extreme

11:43Rules match.

11:44The plunder was fun, especially Bron's sick early bump into the shopping trolley over

11:48the top rope, and it helped differentiate the match from the increasingly repetitive

11:51Raw endings from the last several months.

11:54Because Triple H has heard you.

11:56There have been too many interference DQ finishes as of late, so he's just going to do loads

12:00of interference anyway, but there's no DQ.

12:03It's an Extreme Rules match.

12:05Jey had it won, but Bronson Reed pulled out the referee.

12:08LA Knight made the save, Seth attacked him.

12:11Punk made the save, but he accidentally knocked Knight through a table.

12:14It was down to Jey against Bron and Bronson, so Roman Reigns made his shock return.

12:20Not selling his ribs just two weeks out from the tsunami attack, where he helped Jey get

12:23the win.

12:24This was the same ending we've had most weeks, but the star powered chaos made it

12:29feel slightly fresh.

12:30Interestingly, Roman called to Bronson that he'll see him in Paris, potentially giving

12:35us our first Reigns singles match of 2025.

12:40That man wants his sneakers back.

12:41This week's Raw is 70%.

12:43But do you remember when Raw was bad?

12:46Like, terrible, but the absolute worst?

12:49Why not relive those times, as Luke and I have finally finished our 8 episode, 40 hour long,

12:57rise and fall of the Nexus series.
