00:00A title match has been added to Saturday night's main event.
00:03We have an update on the next WWE video game
00:06and the meaning behind the cryptic WWE videos has been revealed.
00:11Stay tuned for the news.
00:13Yes dear viewers, Saturday night's main event is fast approaching.
00:17Some might say it's actually on Saturday, Sam.
00:20Would you believe it?
00:20I know, it's crept up, hasn't it?
00:22It has crept up and it's looking.
00:24What are we, I might stream for it from home, I don't know, I'll keep you posted.
00:27We'll find out, we'll figure it out.
00:29But it's looking pretty stacked.
00:30There's some really, really cool matches on the card.
00:32So far, all of them title matches too.
00:35And here we go.
00:36We've got another title match on the card as well.
00:38Oh, we do.
00:39So last night on Raw, Penta and Rusev's match to determine Dirty Dom's next challenger for the IC title fell apart.
00:46Because El Grande Americano's faction ran in and attacked both competitors.
00:49What are they like?
00:50What are they like?
00:51Pesky Americanos.
00:52I can't believe, well, pesky Americanos indeed.
00:56Dominic Mysterio's there being like, I can't believe they did this because now the competitors, they're going to go after them instead.
01:03But then Adam Pearce comes out and he's like, no, no, no, Dom.
01:06They are not.
01:07Rusev and Penta are not going after the Americanos.
01:10They're coming for you.
01:11Not sacrifice.
01:12Saturday night's main event.
01:13Yes, it's going to be a triple threat match for the IC championship.
01:17Dominic Mysterio defending against Rusev and Penta.
01:20And I can't wait for this.
01:22I feel like this has promised to maybe steal the show.
01:26It's one of the first times in recent memory I can think that a no contest has yielded something that I'm quite excited about.
01:31Yeah, me too.
01:32I'm quite chipper at this.
01:33Me too.
01:34Saturday night's main event seems to be something that they're really drilling into.
01:38You know, they want a solid lineup every time.
01:41Is it making pay-per-views feel less special?
01:44I don't know.
01:44I'm not sure.
01:45I'm not sure.
01:46I like the fact that they're free on YouTube for people to watch.
01:50I think that's brilliant.
01:51And I think this one specifically, obviously, we've had little things like the Goldberg retirement match.
01:56We've got John Cena's retirement match coming up too on a Saturday night's main event.
01:59They're obviously trying to make them feel special whilst they pack them out with lots and lots of advertisements.
02:06Damn it.
02:07Get ready for the AI generated ones.
02:10It's coming soon.
02:10Oh, God, no.
02:11This one in particular, for me, feels exciting just because we've got all these title matches on the card.
02:17We're getting a definitively new World Heavyweight Champion.
02:20Yeah.
02:21So, yeah, we've got the vacant title.
02:23Yeah.
02:23So, I'm really buzzing for it.
02:25I genuinely can't wait.
02:27It's going to be a hell of a show, but the rest of the card is shaping up quite nicely, as Andrew said.
02:31So far, we've got the WWE Women's title on the line.
02:34Tiffany Stratton defended against Jade Cargill.
02:36Is she going to do it?
02:37Is Jade going to do it?
02:38I feel like she might.
02:39She's gone all nasty now.
02:40She's gone all nasty indeed.
02:41I reckon she might.
02:42She might do it.
02:43And this is the thing, because this next one too, the WWE title is on the line.
02:47Cody Rhodes versus Drew McIntyre.
02:49And I don't know if Cody's going to lose it either.
02:51I think Cody has to hold on to it, but I think we need to enter this phase of, like, is Cody as good as he thinks he is?
02:59Like, there needs to be this self-doubt, I think, for me, which is very selfish of me to say, obviously.
03:04How dare you?
03:05But I think that this idea of Cody just managing to get the job done, and he's sort of clawing by, is, I think, an interesting prospect, because then he's sort of like a wounded animal.
03:16And then it's like, it's exposed, and then he's got to do anything he can to hold on to it.
03:21Which we've seen little glimpses of.
03:23Yeah, it might be how we get that evolution in character if Cody is desperate, right?
03:27And he's feeling a lot more sort of scrappy in certain things that he's done recently, which I've really been enjoying.
03:32I really, really like that.
03:33But at the same time, put him up, put him up, put him up.
03:38And final or more, we've got the WWE World Heavyweight Championship.
03:42That's Jey Uso versus CM Punk.
03:44It's currently on the wonderful person, Vacant.
03:47Who is going to pick it up?
03:49Well, as much as I'd like Vacant to continue their record-breaking reign,
03:53Yeah.
03:54It's got to be Punk.
03:55Oh, yeah.
03:56Yeah, it's got to be Punk.
03:57I think the response to Jey has been interesting, because obviously we see Jey has such a strong, positive response from in-arena crowds.
04:06Whereas the online fan base tend to be a little bit more anti-Jey Uso.
04:11And then at the same time, WWE is like, well, we don't really care.
04:14We're just going to crack on with what we're doing.
04:15So I feel like this would be massive for Punk to get it back.
04:19It also kind of keeps the belt in and around the Seth situation, even if Seth isn't there.
04:25So it's one of those things that, for me, it just lines up better with Punk.
04:29Yeah.
04:29Well, I'm excited to see.
04:30I'm excited to see where it goes.
04:31And something else I'm excited to see where it goes, everybody.
04:33Let me tell you something.
04:34And I genuinely enjoy these games every year.
04:37WWE 2K26 production is underway.
04:40This is usually the case around this time of year.
04:42We hear little rumblings here and there.
04:44Yeah, there'll be like a couple of people where their LinkedIn's will start saying, I'm doing mo-cap.
04:48And then it quickly gets deleted.
04:49Yeah, yeah, yeah.
04:50Or we see like clips pop up online and stuff of people being like, I was so happy to do mo-cap for this.
04:55Or your favorite indie wrestlers all in motion capture seats.
04:57Yeah.
04:58What could they possibly be doing?
04:59I like it.
05:00I like it very, very much.
05:01So PW Insider Elite reporting that several WWE stars have already started recording their lines for the story mode in next year's title.
05:10I think the story mode for this year's title was one of the better ones we've had in recent years.
05:15There was a lot of like NXT Invasion and this, that.
05:18Who's on whose side?
05:19And then Daddy Punk.
05:20I cannot believe it.
05:22Spoilers, everybody.
05:23He swerved us and I got very sad within that moment.
05:26But yeah, no, I'm buzzing for it.
05:28I hope they sort of, this is the thing, I guess, when we get to this time of year and we know that these games come out sort of like late March, April time.
05:38And it's like, oh, what more can they add?
05:40And each time so far since they came back with 2K22, it feels like they've lent into the arcade-y stylings a little bit more.
05:47Yeah.
05:47Not too much.
05:48I enjoy a little bit more of that coming back.
05:51But at the same time, it was very much when I started on the 2K series, it was like, it's not the same, I don't like, but I got used to it.
05:58Yeah.
05:58And I quite enjoy the gameplay now, but the only thing that does my head in is the fiddly, annoying minigames.
06:03Oh, I don't mind the minigames too, but maybe that's because I play these games every year and it's kind of like the thing.
06:10I mean, you can turn them off.
06:11I just think in terms of like features, it's going to be an interesting title.
06:14I'd love to see if they're able to incorporate AAA and TNA.
06:20That would be really.
06:21And that was just arenas or as worlds collide events or something.
06:25But I think having the impact zone there, yes, with a square ring.
06:28Although if M.
06:30Dickey, one man in Scotland can do square ring and hexagon and octagon in his game, all I'm saying 2K, come on.
06:38That's the thing.
06:38We want six sides.
06:40We do.
06:41I would love six sides.
06:42I know sometimes those TNA impact games back in the day aren't revered so well.
06:47I love the Xbox one.
06:48I love them.
06:49I thought it was really good.
06:50But at the same time, like you said, it'll be really interesting because of the AAA acquisition, because of the partnership with TNA as well.
06:57Will we see more of that stuff?
06:59Like DLC packs of TNA stars, of AAA stars.
07:03Obviously, I think we're going to have, without a doubt, we're going to have Mr. Iguana in there somewhere.
07:07A thousand percent.
07:09A thousand percent.
07:10So again, I think the roster that they could potentially have is exciting, but sometimes they sort of lock these behind the DLCs and stuff, which kind of sucks a little bit.
07:20The idea of the game having a factional warfare thing between promotions is exciting.
07:24Yeah, I like that.
07:25So I'd like that very much.
07:26I would like that very, very much.
07:27Even if it's just a straightforward one, the stories seem to be really good these days anyway.
07:31Yeah.
07:31Agree.
07:32Absolutely agree.
07:33We're staying with the WWE side of things here, everybody.
07:35And this is a little one about why Bron and Bronson were excluded from the Raw Battle Royale last week.
07:42People were a little bit confused.
07:43Yeah.
07:44So Jay obviously divisively won the Battle Royale last week, which then set him up against CM Punk for the vacant title.
07:50It led to a lot of mixed responses.
07:53Many were wondering why Bron Breaker and Bronson Reed were excluded, considering how close they are to the title and the situation.
07:59But TC of WrestleVotes has revealed a source that they spoke with this week told them there's been internal concern that Bron Breaker and Bronson Reed would receive babyface fan reactions following their turn on Seth Rollins.
08:12I can't possibly understand why.
08:14Why?
08:14Which played into the decision to exclude them from the Battle Royale on Raw last week.
08:18So I think that they're just, I guess, protecting them as heels.
08:22But at the same time, I'd be cheering if they went out there.
08:24I'd be like, do it!
08:25I feel like that's the thing, though, isn't it?
08:27I feel like because they're so liked as a group and as individuals as well, and they're quite exciting when they're in the ring.
08:35It's hard not to, regardless of what you might do.
08:38It's hard not to get caught up in it.
08:39Like when you're in there in the arena and whatnot.
08:41When he's hitting like 35 miles an hour.
08:44And doing like five tsunamis and stuff as well.
08:46It's like, how can you not?
08:47Like people really turn around to that kind of stuff and love it and start chanting for it.
08:50It's the wrestling of old, isn't it?
08:51Exactly.
08:52It just happens organically.
08:53So I don't know if necessarily, like as we get further and further down the line with the weeks and whatnot,
08:59I don't know if people's sort of reactions are going to turn in a heelish manner.
09:04But I know there was a lot of people who didn't necessarily like the heel Seth Rollins stuff or the persona.
09:12So when this happened, it sort of felt inevitable that, yes, the up-and-comers are the ones that are going to get cheered in this situation.
09:20Yeah, but I think that it's just, it's like a natural lean into it.
09:23Again, yeah, why not?
09:25Why not?
09:25I think they've got something, if they've got something organic, just go with it.
09:29I wanted Breaker to turn up the night after Cody finished the story.
09:32Yeah.
09:33And have Cody be like, I'm a fighting champion on the Raw after Mania.
09:36And then Breaker comes out and decimates it.
09:38And just straight lose it.
09:39Yeah, because then I like Cody on the chase better.
09:41And I think that it would be like instant star making moment.
09:44It would have made Cody look foolish for putting the belt on the line so quickly when he's maybe not ready to compete.
09:49Yeah.
09:49And then it just puts him straight back on the chase.
09:51I'm excited to see where they go.
09:53I think it's going to be really, really, really good.
09:54And something else, I cannot believe this, I'm right.
09:57As we sat here yesterday doing the news.
09:59What does it mean?
09:59Shoes, floors.
10:01Golden Tippers.
10:02Aerosmith.
10:03What's it going on?
10:04It's Chris Jericho.
10:05No, it's Gunter.
10:07No, it's Paul Heyman.
10:09Who is it?
10:10Who is it?
10:10Who is it?
10:11What is it?
10:12It's WrestleMania 42, everybody.
10:14I can't believe this.
10:15So, yes, WWE have been dropping a series of short, mysterious videos on socials of feet walking in the background.
10:23We've got a little bit of, yeah, back in the saddle by Aerosmith playing as well.
10:27And then several more started popping up on Raw.
10:29We were speculating yesterday.
10:30Maybe it's the War Games team.
10:32What could it be?
10:33And then some more popped up, showing a pair of hands wearing a Hall of Fame ring and four glasses of whiskey being poured.
10:41The final video on last night's Raw saw a poker chip spinning on the poker table before ultimately stopping to reveal that 2026 was printed on it.
10:51They're doing Dynamite Casino Battle Royal.
10:53They're doing that.
10:54It's all happening.
10:55It's all interconnected.
10:57Everybody knows what the casino theme means in wrestling.
11:00It's true.
11:00It's not wrong.
11:01It's not wrong at all.
11:03A lot of signs, including a report from WrestleVotes, leads to this being a teaser for the upcoming WrestleMania 42 trailer.
11:11PW Insider reports that Cody Rhodes, Roman Reigns, Brock Lesnar, they were among the names that had visited the WWE headquarters over the last week,
11:18reportedly to film promotional material for WrestleMania 42.
11:23Not surprising.
11:24But at the same time, it was like there was a lot.
11:27Obviously, you know what the hype train does.
11:28It's Jericho.
11:29Oh, we love it.
11:30Yeah.
11:30We love the speculation.
11:32It's hard not to get caught up in the speculation.
11:33But at the same time, Occam's Razor, isn't it?
11:36Yeah.
11:36It's like our simplest thing.
11:37Yeah.
11:38That's it.
11:38Shooting an advert.
11:39Well, we get...
11:40We hype it up ourselves.
11:41Yesterday, it was when I was sat in the office and I was like, oh, could it not have been for the video game?
11:46And then they've pushed the game back a bit, haven't they?
11:48So they've marketed it more start of the year.
11:50Yeah, they tend to.
11:50So usually when, if we do like a hands-on thing, it is quite early on in the year, but quite close to when they release it.
11:57So we start hearing tidbits here and there about the games.
12:00So it felt maybe a little bit premature to see maybe promotional stuff for it.
12:06But yeah, I get...
12:08When you hear like Aerosmith or a bit of rock or something, I was like, ooh, this is an extra, yeah.
12:13Yeah.
12:14Your mind starts racing, doesn't it?
12:16About what it could potentially be.
12:18But it looks like it's just for WrestleMania 42 emanating from Las Vegas.
12:22Las Vegas, yeah.
12:23Which is where the chips come in.
12:25Oh, there you go, everybody.
12:27It makes sense.
12:28Well, do you know what else makes sense?
12:29What?
12:30You.
12:30Oh.
12:30For watching this video.
12:32Thank you so much.
12:33Are you twitching later tonight?
12:34I am twitching later tonight.
12:35I'll be twitching the next two days.
12:37Ross is off this week, so we'll be doing back-to-back Spoopy.
12:41Ooh.
12:41Tomorrow is going to be wrestling-themed Spoopy.
12:44Yeah.
12:44And you don't want to miss it.
12:45It's going to be mental if it doesn't break the PC.
12:47Uh-huh.
12:47It probably is going to break the PC.
12:49Oh, yeah.
12:50Tonight, we've got some...
12:51We started playing a Japanese horror game.
12:53Nice.
12:53About, like, being trapped on a train, so we might finish that and then play a different
12:59horror game tonight as well.
13:00That sounds bloody lovely.
13:01That's twitch.tv forward slash callaholic.
13:03And until next time, from 5 p.m., BS GMT, times have changed.
13:08If you're in America, that might be one Eastern time.
13:12Yeah, double check.
13:13Just search 5 p.m. GMT to Eastern time or wherever you are.
13:18There you go.
13:18Thank you so much for joining us, and we will catch you in the next one.
13:21Have a lovely day.
13:22Bye-bye.
13:23Bye-bye.
