00:00We begin the road to Wrestlemania, which is less than two weeks away, April 18th and 19th in Las Vegas.
00:06And I am joined by the man, the myth, the legend, ESPN and WWE broadcaster Joe Tessitore
00:13is going to exclusively reveal this year's Wrestlemania card, where every match, Triple H said yesterday,
00:20every match on the card this year has the potential of stealing the show.
00:24First and foremost, always our delight to have you.
00:26Great to be with you.
00:27By the way, they just handed me this.
00:28In the world of WWE, this reveal is a very big deal.
00:32People look forward to this every year.
00:34Which match is where, which day.
00:35And we are thrilled to be able to bring it to you exclusively here.
00:38All the WWE fans are tuning in here right now to find it out.
00:42So let's start with Saturday Night's card.
00:44Take us through it.
00:45And the big thing here, Greeny, is the first hour of Saturday, April 18th is going to be on ESPN2.
00:51Of course, everything's on the ESPN app, but the first hour.
00:54And man, you talk about social media star power because a six-man tag team with the biggest YouTubers in
01:01the world.
01:01I show speed, Logan Paul, Austin Theory against the Usos and LA Knight.
01:07Then, the unsanctioned match.
01:09And this could be wild.
01:11I mean, they could be taking down the Raiders torch on the upper concourse here with Drew McIntyre and Jacob
01:16Fatu.
01:16Before we get into our championship matches, Liv Morgan and Stephanie Vaqueira, who's been a breakout star, the Women's World
01:23Champion.
01:23Then, the big one.
01:25The main event on Saturday night, the Undisputed Championship, Cody Rhodes and Randy Orton.
01:30You get the rest of the roster, including Rollins and Gunther.
01:34Seth is back after being away for six months.
01:36All right.
01:36Now, I'm looking at this picture here.
01:38That's the one.
01:38And I'm seeing Pat McAfee there.
01:40And I want to make sure that I get this right because this is going super viral all over the
01:45Internet right now after what McAfee did over the weekend.
01:48And let me make it clear.
01:49McAfee jumped in the other night.
01:50Explain to everyone what we're seeing.
01:52Listen, I'm 10 feet away from this when all of a sudden I look to my left.
01:54And there's Pat McAfee coming out of left field, kicking Cody Rhodes in the onions, and then joining Randy to
02:02beat down the Undisputed Champion.
02:04This was an unbelievable scene, and then he took a blowtorch to the entire industry, to the WWE, and absolutely
02:12slammed it for the state of business right now.
02:14It is wild, and it is going viral.
02:16It's going viral.
02:17Everyone is talking about TKO and literally the biggest of the big players over there, Ari Emanuel and Mark Shapiro
02:22and Nick Khan and The Rock, suggesting that they've turned to Pat McAfee.
02:26And I'm going to use the term to save the business.
02:29What do we say to those people?
02:30Should we get some tin foil and put it on Greeny's head for the conspiracy theories here?
02:35There's our aluminum foil standing by.
02:37Listen, here's the bottom line.
02:39I don't know about that.
02:40What's true, what's not true.
02:42Here's what I do know.
02:42Since that happened on Friday night and then CM Punk last night picking up the mic, the needle has been
02:48moved.
02:48This promotion for WrestleMania on ESPN is red hot on fire, Greeny.
02:54Okay, so McAfee, as usual, right in the middle of the action.
02:57Now you got me thinking I should have Jimmy Pataro and Burke Magnus and maybe Bob Iger come in here
03:02and have a celebrity take care of your manhood.
03:05I'm just bringing up what I'm reading, okay?
03:07I know these guys almost as well as you know them, and so we'll see.
03:11So one way or another, that's what people are talking about online all over the place.
03:15Now, we've seen Saturday.
03:16Show us the Sunday call.
03:17Now, Sunday, the first hour is going to be live on ESPN.
03:22Sunday, 6 p.m. special start time both days.
03:25It does not get more outrageous than that.
03:28Two massive Titans, Oba Femi, former shot put champion at Alabama, as big as the most.
03:35I mean, this guy's massive.
03:36Right.
03:36Against Brock Lesnar.
03:39ESPN, Sunday, 6 p.m.
03:41Before we go into the one that's going to drop your jaw, and that is the ladder match with Penta
03:46and everybody you can't miss.
03:48Now, the main event, and arguably the most heated, intense WrestleMania main event ever, is CM Punk against Roman Reigns.
03:59These guys truly hate each other.
04:01The Women's Championship, Jade and Rhea, physicality beyond.
04:06Unbelievable physicality.
04:07Sammy and Trick Williams whooped that trick.
04:10Learn the song.
04:11Okay.
04:11Learn the entrance.
04:12You'll fall in love with it.
04:13And we finish up with the former brothers, now at arms, Finn and Dom.
04:17This is going to be outrageous, Punk and Reigns.
04:19But Oba and Brock, folks, stop it.
04:22It is made for WrestleMania.
04:23And then the ladder match.
04:24You said you were going to give us something on that.
04:26When you have ladders and you have high flyers, what you're going to see, what we like to say in
04:31the business, the big spots, those will be the biggest spots on Sunday, Greeny.
04:36Absolutely.
04:36So we're looking forward to all of it.
04:37The exclusive reveal.
04:39We're shaping up to be as big a WrestleMania as ever.
04:41And I don't know what you're going to see, but I don't know what you're going to see.
