00:00All right, who wants to start Raw ups and downs off as negative nancys?
00:04I don't. Sometimes we have to.
00:06Because Jey Uso did come out to kick off the big opening Raw promo.
00:09I don't think we need to do his entrance twice every single time.
00:13Like, I understand it's great for the live crowd,
00:15and sometimes you should play to them before you play to anybody else.
00:18But there is technically, well, not even technically,
00:20there is more people watching at home.
00:22This is the first time I was like, it's been like 12 minutes,
00:24and nothing has happened on Raw.
00:26Because we had a video package before this too.
00:28I don't know, man. Maybe I'm just being an old grumpy man
00:31who is getting out of cloud.
00:33But sometimes when I sit down with my pro wrestling,
00:35I just want us to get on with it.
00:37Also, hello, my friends. What are ups and downs?
00:39The only wrestling review show you need with me, Simon Miller, the bald idiot.
00:42And that's right. Once again, thank you very much to NordVPN,
00:46who are doing a deal right now down there in the description,
00:48nordvpn.com forward slash what culture.
00:51Not only will you be able to watch your wrestling when you do go abroad
00:54using their fancy services,
00:56but yes, if you do take advantage of this deal today,
00:59not only are you basically paying less than $3 a month,
01:02but you're going to get four months free,
01:03and there's a money bank guarantee.
01:06So if you're like, I do not like using NordVPN,
01:09well, you'll get your money back.
01:10But I can tell you will love it,
01:11because everybody loves it.
01:13Right. Now, everybody, let's get ready,
01:15because it's time to review Monday Night Raw.
01:18Now, eventually, Jey Uso did start talking on the microphone,
01:21and he was like, listen, I'm not listening to my brother Jimmy anymore.
01:23I'm not listening to Roman Reigns.
01:25I am not even going to listen to my mama,
01:27or their mama, or somebody's mama.
01:29I was getting a bit worried,
01:30because if he had been allowed to continue on this,
01:32eventually he would have said,
01:34I'm not even going to listen to the fire department,
01:35and then what are you going to do, Jey?
01:37You're going to be on fire.
01:38You know you're meant to ring 911,
01:40or 999 in the UK,
01:41and you're going to die,
01:43because you didn't ring,
01:43because you didn't want to listen.
01:44Punk interrupted,
01:45and I thought, oh, it's okay.
01:46He'll tell them about this,
01:48and stop being a silly billy.
01:49But actually, he was like,
01:50well, this is great noise.
01:51You shouldn't listen to Jimmy,
01:52and you shouldn't listen to Little Roman,
01:54which for some reason is a horrible insult.
01:57It's like, dude, now you agree.
01:58You don't want him to listen to people either.
02:00I tell you, I'm done.
02:02Somebody's going to be a set of blaze.
02:03The whole idea is that actually CM Punk likes Jey Uso,
02:06and he even referenced the fact
02:07you threw your brother over the top rope last week
02:10in that battle role,
02:11and I think that was a good thing to do.
02:12This is when the fans went,
02:14boo, boo,
02:15because we had preconditioned to do such things,
02:17and Punk was like,
02:18no, you absolute goobers.
02:19He did it in a nice way.
02:21That's the whole point of the match.
02:22It just goes to show,
02:23come this Saturday night at SNME.
02:26It is me versus Jey,
02:27and I've got to put my best foot forward.
02:29His whole point, though,
02:30was how far you're willing to go, Jey,
02:32because I need this title
02:34more than I need the air that I breathe.
02:36I've said this before.
02:37My hand went up again.
02:38I was like, listen, CM Punk,
02:39I understand what you're getting at here,
02:41but if you actually did pick the championship
02:43over oxygen,
02:44you would die.
02:45A lot of death references so far
02:47in this episode.
02:48So then even you would be laying on the floor
02:50with the belt next to you,
02:52you wouldn't be able to appreciate it
02:53because you were dead,
02:54and also it is pro wrestling.
02:55They'd just have a tournament,
02:57and somebody would be champion anyway.
02:58Punk then said there's no way Jey Uso
03:00can yeet his way out of this situation.
03:02It's like,
03:02that's a very strange sentence
03:03when you do come to think about it.
03:05And this is where Jey took the microphone,
03:07and he had a bit of attitude to him.
03:09Dare I say Edge,
03:10not Adam Copeland,
03:10because he went to AEW.
03:12He was like,
03:12don't you try and make me act
03:14to be the bad guy,
03:14Mr. CM Punk?
03:15I told you I ain't listening
03:16to anybody anymore,
03:18so I'm going to that thing.
03:19I'm going to become a double champion,
03:21and there ain't nothing you
03:22or anybody else can do about it,
03:24because I am the best in the world.
03:26And I think he did say yeet,
03:28which kind of proves CM Punk's point.
03:29So I do understand the argument.
03:31Maybe we could have done
03:31a little bit more here,
03:32but as WWE are scrambling,
03:35given that Seth Rollins did get injured
03:36and that wasn't in the plans,
03:38I actually thought that was quite decent.
03:39I thought Jey Uso came across as,
03:41oh, you're interesting, Jey.
03:42What's going on here?
03:44And I can't pick it.
03:45Like, I presume that CM Punk is going to win,
03:47but you could give it to Jey Uso,
03:49and that would be fine.
03:50Although, actually,
03:51after the events of Raw,
03:52I think we're going to get shenanigans,
03:54and we ain't going to have
03:55a proper new world champion.
03:56After Saturday Night's main event,
03:58and is that going to annoy me?
04:00Yes, it is.
04:01You know what I'm going to do?
04:02Nothing, because it's just wrestling,
04:04and it doesn't matter.
04:05But I am going to give it an up.
04:06Like, there could have been
04:07a bit more sauce on the steak,
04:09but there was something
04:10intriguing about it.
04:11And actually,
04:12apart from the double entrance,
04:14it didn't go that long.
04:16Dominik was then sad,
04:17because, of course,
04:17Penta and Rusev are going to be coming
04:19after his Intercontinental Title Championship,
04:21depending on who does win
04:22their number one contender match.
04:24Well, he turned to Finn Balor
04:25and JD McDowd,
04:26and he said,
04:26please, will you help me?
04:28And they said,
04:28no, we're not going to help me.
04:30Do you know why
04:31we're not the Tag Team Champions right now?
04:33It's you.
04:33You absolute condom.
04:35Roxanne, as always,
04:35was happy to assist,
04:36but Raquel Rodriguez was like,
04:37no, you have a match
04:38with Nikki Bella later.
04:40She didn't say it like that,
04:41although it is Halloween.
04:43And for all I know,
04:44maybe she thinks
04:44Nikki Bella's a ghost.
04:45So essentially now,
04:46the Judgment Day has become a group,
04:48but they only worry
04:49about their own things,
04:50which is based like
04:51every major corporation in 2025.
04:53I do think we have to pull
04:54the trigger on this eventually.
04:56Maybe it's just gone
04:57a little bit too long,
04:58but it does feel like
04:59we're getting there.
05:00And listen,
05:00we do set up a lot for next week,
05:02so maybe it's all coming to a head.
05:05It was right into this
05:06Penta versus Rusev
05:07number one contender match as well,
05:09and we put a one on the dick board,
05:10and actually WW went crazy
05:12with dicks on this show,
05:14which is not a sentence
05:14you want to say.
05:15There was too much distraction,
05:17interference,
05:17confusion for this bald man's taste,
05:19but we'll get to it.
05:20We actually all did tie in
05:21because at the end
05:21of that Judgment Day segment,
05:23Dominic Mysterio gone fine.
05:24If you're not going to help me,
05:25I'll call someone at first
05:27because I am a nerd.
05:28I thought this was going to be
05:29some kind of long-term storytelling
05:30because Liv Morgan
05:31will be back sooner or later.
05:33Like even if it was months
05:34down the line,
05:35you can start teasing it,
05:36and when she comes back,
05:37she's going to be a baby face,
05:38and Dom is absolutely
05:39going to be a baby face soon,
05:41but nope,
05:42he wronged El Grande Americano
05:44and friends
05:45because towards the end of this,
05:47they just ran out
05:48and they beat up Penta and Rusev.
05:50Now, I understand why WWE
05:51has to do that
05:52because wrestling is predetermined,
05:54but I was like,
05:54if you were in the building,
05:56why did it take you 10 minutes
05:57to get to the ring?
05:58And if you weren't in the building
05:59and Dominic called you
06:01and that's when you left for the show,
06:03how the hell did you get there so fast?
06:05It was well-timed in the sense
06:06that Rusev and Penta
06:07were hitting all of their
06:08one-two-oom moves
06:09to make you go,
06:09oh, I don't know who's going to win.
06:11Like Rusev kicked out the Penta driver,
06:13but then yes,
06:14El Grande Americano won,
06:15El Grande Americano two,
06:17and El Grande Americano three
06:18just thrust the ring.
06:20The ref was like,
06:21I'm right here,
06:22you goobers.
06:23I'm calling it a no contest.
06:24Also, make sure you put one
06:25on the dive counter
06:26because Penta was doing that as well.
06:28And yes,
06:28later on,
06:29Alan Pearce found Dominic Mysterio
06:30and said,
06:31your plan sucked.
06:32It's now going to be
06:33a triple threat match
06:33at the pay-per-view
06:34or Sam Knight's main event,
06:35whatever the flub you want to call it.
06:37I still kind of feel like
06:38Dominic should win.
06:39I don't think it's the time
06:40to take the title off him
06:41unless bigger things
06:42are coming down the line.
06:44But look,
06:44I'm going to give the matching up
06:46and given that I am going
06:47to address the distractions later,
06:48I will pause it for there.
06:50But it was a lot of fun
06:51and this Penta man
06:52just gets great reactions.
06:54And given the state
06:54of the main event scene,
06:56I wouldn't mind him
06:57being thrown up right in there.
06:58Let's see what happens.
06:59If it doesn't work,
07:00he can come tumbling back down.
07:01But yeah,
07:02it was fun.
07:03And Dominic Mysterio
07:03has this weird baby face
07:05but kind of pitched as a heel.
07:07Well,
07:07he is a glorious treat.
07:08What?
07:10LA Knight was then backstage
07:11and he told us
07:12he wants the winner
07:13of CM Punk vs. Jey Uso
07:15for that world championship.
07:17I was like,
07:17what the flub
07:18have you actually done
07:18to deserve that LA Knight?
07:20Like,
07:20I would love you
07:21to become a world champion
07:22but in kayfabe terms,
07:24well,
07:24you probably need
07:24to get some wins.
07:26Here's a small spoiler for you.
07:27Does he get a win on Raw?
07:28No,
07:29he does not.
07:29Then he comes to
07:30Brom Breaker,
07:30Brom Street and Paul Heyman
07:31and Brom was like,
07:32oh,
07:32hi,
07:33Paul.
07:33Why the flub
07:34didn't we just enter
07:35that battle role last week
07:36and run through the field?
07:37And Paul Heyman
07:38answered this with maths.
07:39So I'm surprised
07:40that Brom Breaker
07:40didn't fall asleep
07:41because nobody wants
07:42the answer to be
07:43mathematics and numbers.
07:44But he was like,
07:45one is better than 20
07:46and we just found out
07:47that LA Knight
07:48wants to be the world champion.
07:49So Brom Breaker,
07:50if you go whip his ass,
07:51then you'll probably
07:52move up the contenderships
07:54when it comes
07:54to getting that world championship.
07:56I guess Paul Heyman
07:57is booking the show now
07:58because now later on
07:59we are going to get
07:59Brom Breaker versus LA Knight.
08:01We then got this awesome
08:02Oscar's been in WWE
08:03for 10 year video
08:04and listen,
08:04regardless of the reason
08:05that WWE may have made this,
08:08I am giving it an up.
08:09I mean,
08:09all they really needed to do
08:10was go,
08:11here's a list of her accomplishments.
08:13Here are all her amazing matches.
08:15If you don't like her,
08:16you're probably totally insane.
08:17She really is one of the best
08:18of the modern generation.
08:19I mean,
08:20what hasn't she done?
08:21And yeah,
08:21that was just a wonderful
08:22reminder of it.
08:23I mean,
08:24a bit weird to do that
08:25for a heel
08:25unless Oscar had done this
08:27in her spare time.
08:28But as we just touched on,
08:29she can do absolutely everything.
08:32JD and Finn Balor
08:33then did go to Adam Pearce
08:34and they just said,
08:34can we please have
08:35a tag team title shot?
08:37I guess Adam Pearce's
08:38hearing isn't very good.
08:39He said,
08:40nope,
08:40you are going to take
08:42on Sheamus instead.
08:43Now,
08:43Finn Balor wanted none of this,
08:45but JD was like,
08:46well,
08:46I'll take him on.
08:47We will get to that
08:48in just a second.
08:50Because before that,
08:51we did get Nikki Bella
08:52versus Roxanne Perez
08:53based on what happened
08:54last week
08:54with Stephanie Vaker.
08:56And to start off,
08:57Roxanne was
08:57pretending
08:58that she like
08:59respected Nikki Bella,
09:00which she didn't.
09:01So Nikki Bella
09:02slapped Roxanne Perez
09:03around the face
09:04so damn hard.
09:06And then some of
09:06these other shots,
09:08I mean,
09:08maybe Roxanne's
09:08just a good seller,
09:09but in her face
09:10it looked a bit like,
09:11why don't you like me,
09:12Nikki?
09:12Stop punching me
09:13in the face.
09:14It's also back to the
09:14DIC board,
09:15like I say,
09:16because of course
09:17Raquel Rodriguez
09:17was getting involved.
09:19This is kind of a situation
09:20WWE finds itself in.
09:22It continues to book itself
09:23in the same situation.
09:25Like everybody has somebody
09:26that is going to do this
09:27or could do this
09:29and therefore
09:29in every single match
09:30we do have,
09:31somebody does it.
09:32Just think,
09:33sometimes we could come up
09:34with more creative plans.
09:35Of course,
09:35Roxanne was then able
09:36to take advantage
09:37and she went after
09:37Nikki Bella's neck,
09:39which is one of the reasons
09:40Bella had to retire years ago.
09:41And after Raquel had
09:42distracted once again,
09:44these two got into
09:45the most devastating move.
09:46In all of sports entertainment,
09:48a surprise roll-up battle
09:49and there was this
09:50really good moment
09:51when Roxy put her feet
09:52on the ropes
09:52and the referee caught her
09:53and that kind of tricked you.
09:54So Nikki Bella
09:55didn't use her roll-up,
09:56but that didn't work
09:57when ultimately,
09:58Roxanne Perez
09:59used her in-ring positioning
10:00and of course the help
10:01of Raquel Rodriguez
10:02from earlier.
10:03She hit the Pop Rocks
10:04and she got the one,
10:05two,
10:06and yet even with
10:07all this interference,
10:08I thought the commentators
10:09sold it as a big deal
10:10and also I didn't think
10:11Nikki Bella was going to lose.
10:12Of course,
10:13the Judgment Day
10:13beat up Nikki
10:14after this swells,
10:15how it came to Stephanie
10:16for care to make the save.
10:17This made me laugh out loud
10:19because I am a geek
10:20because we sold Raquel Rodriguez
10:22as a monster
10:22as we should do.
10:23So Stephanie was like,
10:24oh man,
10:25you're not scared of me,
10:25but I'm not scared of you.
10:27When from the ashes,
10:28Nikki Bella just stood up
10:30and got in her face as well.
10:32It's like when you have a bully
10:33and you have the weakling
10:34behind the bully
10:35kind of sticking his face out,
10:36yeah man,
10:37I'll fight you as well.
10:38But if Nikki Bella
10:39does go heel,
10:40which was the tease
10:41seven days ago,
10:42I guess this would make sense
10:43because she's trying to steal
10:44Stephanie's spotlight.
10:46So I am going to give it an up.
10:47I guess no one's
10:48the right home about,
10:49but I thought it was
10:49a very fun,
10:50entertaining match.
10:51The Kabuki Warriors
10:51then continued to win
10:52the evening
10:53because Lyra Valkyria
10:54was getting ready
10:55for our tag team match
10:56when all of a sudden,
10:58in what Oscar and Kairi
10:59saying,
11:00they were like,
11:00look,
11:00we know that Bayley
11:01made this on social media
11:03in the week,
11:03but it should be us
11:04getting the championships
11:05and we most definitely
11:06don't like you.
11:07Lyra Valkyria's facial expressions
11:09or reactions
11:10are some of the best things
11:11you'll ever see in your life.
11:13They make me laugh out loud.
11:14Here,
11:15I think she thought
11:16Oscar was a zombie.
11:17Poor Kairi as well
11:17was melting down
11:18and saying,
11:19please don't make Oscar mad
11:20when Oscar just shouted at her
11:22when Bayley walked in
11:24and this also got me as well
11:25because Bayley was so ant
11:26because of course
11:27she had become
11:27the general manager
11:28and got these two
11:29a title shot in the main event,
11:31but Lyra was so worried
11:32about not winning
11:32because she had no confidence.
11:34All of a sudden,
11:35Bayley had no confidence
11:36but then Lyra went crazy
11:37and she G'd up Bayley
11:39and Bayley was like,
11:39that's right,
11:40we're going to win.
11:41I was like,
11:41it's a bad relationship.
11:43You two should not hang out.
11:44You do not help each other at all.
11:45It was a heavily teaser
11:46Jimmy Uso may screw his brother
11:48out the weekend
11:49because they met up
11:49with each other backstage
11:50and Jim was like,
11:52you didn't do the plan last week,
11:54you absolute moron.
11:55We were meant to bring it down
11:56so it was just you versus me
11:57and then we were going to see
11:59who was going to win.
11:59It's like,
12:00that's not what you said, Jimbo.
12:02You were like every man for himself
12:03so you've got no one to blame you.
12:05I guess you could kind of call
12:06this heel speak as well
12:07because Jimbo even said
12:08maybe you were just worried
12:09what happened if we were
12:11to fight one-on-one again.
12:12I was like,
12:13Jim,
12:13he beat you last time.
12:15I think you've gone
12:16a little bit off the rails.
12:18It was then time
12:19for LA Knight to lose again.
12:20So who had 9pm?
12:21Who had 9pm on your card?
12:23Make sure you come up
12:24and accept your winnings.
12:25But listen,
12:26he was taking on Bron Breaker
12:27and Bron Breaker should not lose
12:29for a long old time.
12:30In fact,
12:30before he does get defeated again,
12:32he should also probably
12:33become the world champion.
12:35I did think this match was great.
12:37And really,
12:37if you are looking at it
12:38from a management point of view,
12:40surely each and every single week
12:41you look at LA Knight
12:42and go,
12:42man,
12:43this guy has got the goods.
12:45I believe it's going to happen to him.
12:47We may just have to be patient.
12:48I think LA may know this as well
12:49because he even found a sign
12:51in the crowd
12:52that said,
12:52we want LA Knight
12:53and not Jey Uso.
12:54And he was just like,
12:55ha ha,
12:55look at this.
12:56While he did have the one-upmanship
12:58on Bron Breaker for a while,
13:00Bron Breaker then became Sonic.
13:02He was moving so damn fast.
13:04It was ridiculous.
13:05And he did a dive.
13:06So I won the dive counter.
13:08Here comes my first down,
13:09my first down,
13:10a second down,
13:10whatever the flub.
13:11It is a down
13:12because yes,
13:13put on one of the dick board.
13:14Bronson Reed was out there
13:15and he was interfering.
13:16This was three and three,
13:18man.
13:18It's too much for me.
13:19I'm still the same old G.
13:20I'm giving it a down.
13:21I just think we can come up
13:22with some new ideas.
13:23Again,
13:23you can do whatever the hell
13:24you want in wrestling.
13:26At one point,
13:26Bron Breaker went for this Frankensteiner
13:28and LA Knight went to stop him.
13:30I don't know what happened there,
13:31but Bron Breaker fell in the heap.
13:33Apparently,
13:33he's perfectly fine,
13:34but my gosh,
13:35it was scary.
13:36Reed,
13:36of course,
13:36was then distracting over and over again,
13:38but eventually LA Knight
13:39did get one over on him
13:40when he was going to hit his yeah elbow,
13:42but I just thought this was fantastic.
13:45Bron Breaker moved
13:46so LA Knight rolled out of the way
13:47when he turned around.
13:48Bron just hit him with this spear
13:50that was like a torpedo
13:51and I was like,
13:52man,
13:52if he kicks out of that,
13:54once again,
13:54I'm not going to do anything
13:55because what would I do?
13:56But he did get the one,
13:57two,
13:58three.
13:58Sometimes,
13:59even if you are LA Knight,
14:00you have to lose
14:01after things like that.
14:03Otherwise,
14:03we're taking the idea of wrestling
14:05and we're sending it to the moon,
14:06which actually may be quite fun.
14:08Now,
14:08as always,
14:08if we do have something
14:09lined up for LA Knight after this,
14:11it will all be fine
14:11because wrestling is just about stories.
14:14But yeah,
14:14given their proximity
14:15to Jey Uso and CM Punk
14:17and the promo at the start of the show,
14:19I think you will see LA Knight.
14:20I think you will see Bron Tereen.
14:21I think you will see Bron Breaker.
14:23I think you will see Paul Heyman
14:24and I think you'll see all the Usos
14:26get involved in that thing.
14:28Somebody is going to turn heel,
14:29I would presume.
14:30It also does kind of feel like
14:31we do have to do Jey Uso
14:33versus LA Knight,
14:35but you could also do CM Punk
14:36versus LA Knight
14:37for the world title.
14:39I don't know.
14:39If I was going to hazard a guess
14:40or take a bold prediction,
14:42maybe we do get here next week
14:44and there is no world champion,
14:46which will suck.
14:47I would rush by the WWE,
14:49made a call,
14:50and whoever wins,
14:51even if,
14:51I don't know,
14:52a snail wins.
14:53All right,
14:53crown the snail,
14:54but I'm going to give this matching up.
14:56It was good fun,
14:57but let's try and do
14:58less interferences
14:59and distractions.
15:00It also turned out after this
15:01that the Usos were still arguing.
15:03I was like,
15:03guys,
15:03why don't you talk in the week?
15:05Because Jey Uso went to find Jimmy Uso
15:06and this time,
15:08Jey was a bit like,
15:08listen,
15:09I understand where you're coming from,
15:10but you're my brother
15:11and I love you.
15:12Jey also did remind his brother,
15:13you know,
15:13that's not really how it went last week.
15:15So yes,
15:15it did feel like they were back
15:16on the same page,
15:18but that also felt very deliberate.
15:20Something is happening here.
15:21Somebody better keep an eye on it.
15:22When we did get to J.D. McDonough
15:25versus Sheamus,
15:26given that poor Sheamus
15:27did get dicked over
15:28in that battle royal last week,
15:29basically because of the judgment day,
15:31look,
15:31I've already given my down,
15:33but of course,
15:33Finn Bal was getting involved in this.
15:35So it's a one on the dick board.
15:37I'm not going to give it a new down,
15:38but it's an all-encompassing down.
15:40I'll just repeat my phrase,
15:42do something else.
15:43Aside of that though,
15:44I thought this was absolutely brilliant.
15:46Like Sheamus remains an underrated gem.
15:49It's a shame he had to return magically
15:50from nowhere for that battle royal,
15:52but he was just kicking J.D. McDonough's ass,
15:54but J.D. McDonough was coming back
15:56and whooping his ass.
15:57This was a terrific fight.
16:00It wasn't even a wrestling match,
16:01but both dudes,
16:02my gosh,
16:03they shone like the sad.
16:04There's also this great pass
16:05well by Finn Balor,
16:05which proves distractions can work,
16:07but Sheamus had the match
16:08won after a crucifix bomb.
16:10And the way that Finn Balor
16:11put J.D. McDonough's foot on the rope
16:13to cause the one-two,
16:15he was kind of flipping and a flopping,
16:17and he got mega heat for that.
16:18He really was very well executed.
16:20Sheamus, of course,
16:21was able to get back into it
16:22and was going to do something off the top
16:23when Finn just smacked him with the shillelagh.
16:26And do you know how this ended
16:28with J.D. McDonough
16:29hitting Sheamus with a Spanish fly?
16:32Sheamus is a big old guy.
16:34They did this from the top rope.
16:35I was really pleased
16:36that was the finish
16:37because of the blue thunder bomb.
16:38If you do something like that,
16:39it should get the one, two, three.
16:41And of course,
16:41Sheamus is protected
16:42because he got smacked on the head
16:44with his own weapon,
16:45which just means it's more insulting.
16:47Now, it also meant
16:48that we kind of justified the fact
16:49that J.D. and Finn
16:50are going to get a tag team title shot
16:52next week,
16:53the way I'm going to give it down
16:54because there's no story to that.
16:55You just walk up to people
16:56and like a title shot, please.
16:59But yeah,
16:59Sheamus and J.D.
17:01get some up.
17:02If you want to tell me
17:02this was the best match on the show,
17:04I wouldn't argue with you.
17:05It was excellent.
17:06And now we've absolutely
17:07got to follow it up.
17:08Anna Pierce then found
17:09Maxine Dupree
17:09and said,
17:10oh, hello, Maxine.
17:11Would you like another
17:12intercontact title shot?
17:13Essentially,
17:14Maxine said no.
17:15I was like, what?
17:16Because she then said
17:17she followed it up with,
17:17no, I need to speak to somebody
17:19because I need my training
17:20to get better
17:21because I'm not where
17:22I need to be yet
17:22in order to defeat Becky Lynch.
17:24I would presume
17:25this is how AJ Lee
17:25comes back into the fold.
17:27Maxine will not become
17:28the IC champion,
17:29but do you know who will?
17:30A brand new trainer,
17:32Ashley.
17:32Charlotte Flair
17:33and Alexa Bliss
17:34then proved my point as well
17:35because they were being interviewed
17:36and they actually said,
17:37if you want a title shot,
17:39you only have to ask for it
17:40or in short,
17:41Geese title shot.
17:43I want to be that guy.
17:44That should not be the way
17:45that wrestling works.
17:46Otherwise,
17:47I'll do it.
17:47All right?
17:48I challenge you
17:48for a tag team title shot
17:49and now according to your own words,
17:51you have to say yes
17:52and I will team with
17:53Reaper Man.
17:54They also told us
17:55they're only two defences away
17:56from breaking the record.
17:57That's a bit like,
17:58yeah,
17:58let's not say that
18:00because just go to show
18:01that WWE hasn't booked
18:02these women's tag team titles
18:03very well
18:04in the five or six years
18:05they have been around
18:06and we really need to change that
18:08because as you're about
18:08to learn again,
18:10every single time
18:10they do get featured,
18:12well,
18:12everybody involved
18:13just kicks ass.
18:14These are good championships,
18:15man.
18:16They just need to be featured
18:16consistently on TV.
18:18Oscar and Kyrie walked in as well
18:19and basically said,
18:20we heard what you were
18:21just talking about
18:22so we would like a title shot
18:23and we are going to do that soon.
18:25How good is that match
18:26going to be?
18:27My predictor monitor says,
18:29pretty very good.
18:29This is when AJ Lee
18:30or Dragon Styles
18:31were perfectly happy
18:32to take on JD and Finn
18:33and we've already talked about that.
18:35I just think we need to get
18:36the Raw tag team titles
18:37especially back to how
18:38they were at WrestleMania 39
18:39and that was a bit different
18:41because we only had
18:41one set of titles then
18:43but it is kind of similar
18:44on SmackDown as well.
18:45People just walk around
18:46having matches,
18:48look at the people
18:49that are involved
18:49on both brands,
18:51you can do more,
18:52you just got to stick
18:53some story in there.
18:56Otherwise,
18:56our main event was indeed
18:57Flair and Bliss
18:58or Fab
18:59taking on Lyra and Bayley
19:01or Lab.
19:02So it was Fab
19:03versus Lab.
19:04I don't know why
19:05you watch this show either.
19:06This Lyra Valkyrie
19:07is just fantastic too
19:08and she just doesn't panic.
19:10At one point,
19:10she did hit her finish,
19:11I think it was her finish,
19:12on Alexa Bliss
19:13and her flipping hair
19:15got caught
19:15in Alexa Bliss' ring gear.
19:17Now, of course,
19:18the pin was broken up
19:19but she didn't panic.
19:20She was cool as a cucumber
19:21and she went
19:22and sorted this out.
19:23Genuinely,
19:24as a man that wrestles,
19:25sometimes when things go wrong,
19:27I freeze like a dinosaur,
19:28not Lyra
19:29because she believes
19:30in her abilities.
19:31Shot a flag
19:31on the hot tag eventually
19:32and she was running wild.
19:34She did this crazy crossbody
19:35as she always does
19:36and after Bayley
19:37got thumped a little bit,
19:39she became crazy Bayley.
19:40She demanded the hot tag
19:41and of course,
19:42she ran wild too.
19:43The one-two-oo train
19:44then started here
19:45as well as everybody
19:45was hitting their finishing moves
19:46when Charlotte Flair
19:48locked in the figure eight.
19:49This is where Lyra zoomed in
19:50and she stopped Bayley
19:52from tapping out.
19:52Now, some people go,
19:53oh, that's so stupid
19:54because Bayley could still say,
19:55I quit with her words.
19:57Here's the secret sauce
19:58when it comes to wrestling.
19:59It is stupid
20:00but its stupidity
20:01is why it's amazing.
20:03I love stuff like this.
20:04Like, why would that count
20:06not as being a tap out
20:07just because somebody
20:08is forcing me from tapping out
20:09but I never want that to go away
20:11much like how Dominic Mysterio
20:13stayed in the battle role last week
20:14or nobody sawed me
20:16so I'm going to keep competing.
20:17It's also awesome
20:18because Alexa Bliss
20:19was having none of this
20:19and she crushed them both to death
20:21with the Twisted Bliss
20:22when Charlotte Flair
20:23and Alexa looked at each other
20:24and kind of did a,
20:25I don't know,
20:26a taunt pattern with their hands
20:27to charge up their MP
20:28that then triggered
20:29their special move.
20:30They both hit natural selections
20:32which actually looked really cool
20:33because they did it in time.
20:34They got the 1-2-3
20:35and I have not done
20:36this match justice.
20:37It was super duper good.
20:39I'm absolutely giving it up.
20:41Once again,
20:41repeat my catchphrase,
20:43keep booking the women's tag team titles.
20:44Of course,
20:45the Kabuki Warriors
20:45came out and murdered
20:46everybody after this
20:47and they did tell us
20:48they were going to do that
20:49and they hit Charlotte Flair
20:50with the assisted insane elbow
20:51but when Bayley got in the ring
20:53to protect Lyra,
20:55Oscar and Kairi Sane backed off.
20:57I would presume
20:57because that was a wink, wink,
20:58nudge, nudge
20:59to the damage control days
21:00and I love it
21:01when wrestling does this.
21:02It's all a part
21:03of the historical lore.
21:04See, I just enjoyed all of this
21:06and I am going to give it an up
21:07and I cannot wait
21:08for that Kabuki Warriors match
21:09but do not throw
21:10the Charlotte and Alexa Bliss team
21:12away either
21:12or Bayley and Lyra.
21:14Let's find a way
21:15to involve all of them.
21:16So yeah, up.
21:17Very good end to Raw.
21:18Now I will say
21:19he didn't massively do a great job
21:20in getting me super pumped
21:21for Saturday night's main event
21:22given it was the go-home show
21:24but I am going to give it an up.
21:25Like it's not something
21:26you desperately do need to see
21:27but actually for the two and a half hours
21:29or whatever it was on
21:30I had a pretty good time.
21:32That's why I watch wrestling
21:33to enjoy myself.
21:35I don't want to be a sad panda.
21:36Now of course
21:37you are going to have
21:37different opinions from me
