04:07I'd love to hear from you, and I will engage with you about whatever your questions and comments and concerns

04:12are as soon as I get those.

04:14So we've got to get into this.

04:15This was a very interesting episode of WWE Monday Night Raw.

04:19From the very opening segment all the way to the very last thing of the show, I didn't feel like

04:24there was a down period.

04:26What I did feel like, there was a couple of vignettes that were a little repetitive, but beyond that, this

04:31show was solid, top to bottom.

04:33The show kicked off with Roman Reigns coming to the ring.

04:36I did not expect that.

04:38They didn't do some of the normal buildup that they would with Roman Reigns.

04:41Instead, he comes straight to the ring.

04:42He's talking about how he's got to deal with Sami Zayn.

04:45He's got to deal with the 946.

04:47He's being pulled in a lot of directions.

04:48And before he could really get rolling, Sami Zayn's music hits, and Sami Zayn comes out to confront Roman Reigns.

04:55And the conversation goes back and forth.

04:57Sami Zayn claims that everything he said about Roman he said on SmackDown, he would say to his face.

05:01He's there right now, which kind of validates that point.

05:05And he's looking for respect, and he's upset that Roman doesn't respect him as a champion, calls him the secondary

05:10champion.

05:12Roman Reigns does not back down.

05:14He basically talks about how he's going to smash Sami.

05:17Sami throws in his face.

05:19Basically, Roman makes fun of him for the match with, oh my gosh, I always forget the guy's name.

05:24Johnny Knoxville from Jackass makes fun of him for that match.

05:28But Sami counters with that match is the match everybody remembers from WrestleMania 38.

05:32Nobody even remembers who Roman was wrestling at WrestleMania 38.

05:36It was probably Brock Lesnar for the 6th out of 12 times.

05:39He's really trash-talking Roman and says how nobody remembers Roman's match.

05:44And Roman counters with, if he didn't beat Brock that night, then the championship on Sami's shoulder wouldn't even be

05:51here.

05:51Sami would probably not even be in the company.

05:53It's really, it's like a worked shoot.

05:56It really felt that way.

05:58This was great back and forth.

06:00I loved it.

06:01At the end, Roman getting in Sami's face and having everybody acknowledge him.

06:04This was perfect.

06:06It built a lot of heat, but still no physicality between the two, heading into Crown Jewel.

06:11This is a match that now I am very much looking forward to.

06:14Not that I wasn't before, but now it's must-see television.

06:17And I'm just saying the way I gotta say it, I foresee Sami Zayn winning this match.

06:22I don't see any reason to have Roman win this because he doesn't gain anything from it.

06:27Sami stands to gain a drastic amount.

06:30If he wins, Roman kind of stays in the same place.

06:33If Roman were to lose, he's heading straight into a War Games match with the 9-4-6.

06:39I don't think it hurts him at all to lose.

06:41Certainly not if there's outside interference from the 9-4-6.

06:44So that being said, I think this was a perfect setup.

06:47I think we all could see what's coming.

06:49Even on commentary, they talked about how Sami Zayn really was going to need everything to even try to beat

06:56Roman.

06:56And I think when they say that, it's obvious to me that that's kind of the direction they're leaning towards

07:00Sami winning.

07:01From there, we get an opening match of Ethan Page challenging Chad Gable for the WWE Intercontinental Championship.

07:08And honestly, I thought the match was fantastic top to bottom.

07:12The only issue I had is so many ankle locks.

07:16I love the ankle lock.

07:17I think it's a good move for him.

07:18Obviously, he's a throwback to Kurt Angle.

07:21But I don't need to see it three, four, five times in a match.

07:26One time, the guy gets away.

07:27Second time, maybe he gets away.

07:29But then I actually wouldn't go back to it a third time.

07:31Do something else.

07:31That was the only repetitive thing about the match is the ankle lock.

07:35Now, there were several other high-impact moves.

07:36But the end of the match comes when Gable gets thrown into the turnbuckle.

07:40He hits his head on the exposed metal turnbuckle hold.

07:44Comes off, gets thrown into an egoplex.

07:46And Ethan Page defeats Chad Gable to become the new Intercontinental Champion.

07:51This was a fantastic match.

07:54The problem with it is, I don't even know if it's the match of the night, because there

07:58was a lot of great matches tonight.

08:00There really were.

08:01From there, we get a Javon Evans and Sami Zayn recap from the week prior.

08:06Javon challenging for the WWE Championship.

08:08We see the Penta arrival.

08:10The Braun Breaker arrival.

08:12The beatdown afterwards.

08:14And the reason they're putting this on there is because we are going to get a six-man tag team

08:17match tonight.

08:17They show the baby faces in the back warming up.

08:21Javon Evans, Penta, and Dragon Lee getting ready for the six-man match they're going to

08:25have later in the show.

08:27From there, it transitions into our first 946 Bloodline promo recap of the night.

08:34And it's the same stuff over and over every single week.

08:38So that's why I said, I could have one of these a week, but I don't need more than one.

08:42And we're actually going to end up with more than one.

08:44This was fine.

08:45It was a little bit of a recap.

08:45We talk about Royce and Solo, that they were going to fight tonight.

08:49The one line that I really love that Royce Key said is he's like,

08:54Blood doesn't mean anything.

08:56Loyalty over everything.

08:58And I like that because it was a nice wrap-in tie-in line for their whole group.

09:03It really, you know, think about it.

09:05The Bloodline has been fractured for a long, long time.

09:07They haven't really been unified in a very long time.

09:11And technically still aren't because Jacob is not there right now because he's selling

09:15the injury from getting run over by the car.

09:19So this was very well done.

09:21Also, it was a decent promo.

09:23However, that should have been the end of it for me.

09:26Then we do see Royce Keyes and Solo in that, at the very end of the vignette, throwing trash

09:31back and forth at each other.

09:32And then they go side by side, talk about how it ain't nobody safe.

09:35I'm kind of over that phrase already.

09:38It really, it's, let's be honest.

09:40Everybody is safe.

09:42Everybody's safe.

09:44The only people not safe, if you're a 946 member, is the Bloodline.

09:48The only people who's not safe, if you're the Bloodline, is the 946.

09:52Everybody else on the roster is perfectly fine.

09:53So yes, they're safe.

09:55Um, we get Solo in the back preparing for his match.

09:58The Usos are back there.

09:59Roman comes into the screen and everybody's trying to hype up Solo.

10:02And Roman tells him, he's like, I'm not going nowhere.

10:04I'm staying through your match.

10:06You know, we'll see you handle business.

10:07And this is great because now we know that Roman's not leaving the show.

10:10We have a very strong feeling he's going to be there at the end.

10:14And we'll get to that a little bit later.

10:16We see a recap of Chelsea Green and Liv Morgan's interaction from SmackDown last week.

10:20Tiffany Stratton trying to cash in.

10:22And we are notified that tonight is the Judgment Day, taking on Chelsea Green, Tiffany Stratton,

10:26and Io Sky.

10:27And that match is next.

10:29They come to the ring.

10:30And here's the thing.

10:32I've been very critical of some of the ladies' matches lately because they've been kind of clunky.

10:36Tonight, one, Raquel Rodriguez was off the chain.

10:39She was spot on.

10:41She was as crisp as you can expect her to be, especially when she's such a tall female.

10:45And some of the people she works with are not.

10:47So when she's taking a move from Io Sky, it's a little more difficult for her

10:51to pull those things off.

10:53At one point, she got hit with a hurricanrana.

10:55And it wasn't as crisp because I don't think it physically could be because of her height.

11:02The match is great.

11:04Then we end up seeing this exchange with Chelsea Green and Roxanne Perez.

11:08And Chelsea was on, man.

11:10This was fantastic ring work.

11:12Everything from simple moves and clotheslines to the step-up enziguries.

11:17It was all perfect.

11:19Chelsea and Raquel were the highlights of this.

11:21And usually it's Io.

11:22Io is usually the number one women's wrestler in the world, for my opinion.

11:26This was a different level.

11:28This was Chelsea at Chelsea's best.

11:30This felt like Chelsea Green back in Lucha Underground Chelsea.

11:33She was on.

11:34Everything was smooth and crisp.

11:35I loved it.

11:36The match ends.

11:37We see Judgment Day pick up the win.

11:39And I have to say it this way, technically speaking, it was clean.

11:42There was no real shenanigans going on.

11:45There was a tag out and different people were hitting each other.

11:47Lots of people outside the ring.

11:49And at one point, we see, you know, oblivion on Chelsea.

11:55And that's where they get the victory, the win.

11:57Now, with Liv Morgan picking up the pinfall victory here, I kind of get the feeling that

12:02maybe, just maybe, we're going to see Chelsea Green win that championship, the Crown Jewel

12:08championship in Saudi, which I kind of didn't expect at first.

12:12I thought Liv would win it again.

12:13She'd be the first and only two-time, you know, Crown Jewel champion.

12:17I still kind of want to say that, but they booked this to, like, I don't see the sense

12:22in pinning Chelsea here if she's just going to lose again at Crown Jewel.

12:26So, I don't know.

12:27Maybe, just maybe, Chelsea gets a chance to win this this week.

12:30Um, then we get our next 946 promo again.

12:38Same stuff again.

12:40And it's really, it's, I mean, for God's sake, like, can we please not have to have multiple,

12:46um, vignettes or promos or whatever of the same stuff?

12:51And this is another one where basically the whole gist of it was to let us know that tonight,

12:55Royce Keys and Solo are going one-on-one.

12:57We know.

12:57We've been giving graphics all night about it.

13:00You did a promo earlier in the evening about it.

13:02We don't, this has only been about 10 minutes.

13:04Why are you telling us again?

13:05Like, we're so stupid, we can't remember it.

13:07And we go back to the everybody, ain't nobody safe.

13:10But everybody is safe.

13:12There is nobody in danger except for the 10 people, or the actually, at this point in

13:16time, eight people involved in this feud.

13:19Otherwise, there's nobody else that's in danger.

13:22946 isn't attacking Chad Gable or Big Cass or anybody else.

13:26They're just going after the bloodline.

13:28So I, I hate, I hate that as their, their slogan.

13:32Um, we do get a promo for the Agent of Shadows mini docu-series that is out, the preview.

13:37Um, I have not watched it.

13:39I will say this.

13:40If you have not currently, you should check out WrestleTalk News online on YouTube or wherever

13:45you stream your services.

13:47They did go through the entire series.

13:50And I forget how many episodes, I think I said 72 episodes.

13:53And each one's between 30 seconds and two minutes.

13:56And dude, do a deep dive into it.

13:57They were not impressed.

13:58So I'm going to be honest with you.

14:00I listen to them very frequently.

14:01Uh, Luke Owen is, is a great guy.

14:04He, he, I love his stuff.

14:06Um, Ollie is another one.

14:08Fantastic host.

14:09Um, when they tell me something's trash, I'm going to, I kind of believe it.

14:12I really do.

14:12I don't see any reason to question them.

14:14And I don't see any reason to waste my time going back to watch it.

14:17From there, the music hits.

14:19And John Cena is on his way to the ring.

14:21There is a podium in the ring.

14:23And what I hate is it is obvious that there is a championship belt sitting on top of the

14:28podium.

14:29I don't think anybody in their right mind could not somewhat roughly guesstimate what the

14:35belt was going to look like.

14:37Uh, I love that John Cena is out there in jorts.

14:39You know, he kept the jorts alive and he's out there to announce the details of the John

14:44Cena classic.

14:44The first detail he gets, tells us there's three things he wants to announce.

14:47First thing is that it is taking place on December 14th.

14:50There will be two raws, one from Perth and one from Disney world in Orlando, Florida.

14:57Um, he then goes on to number two is the revealing of the John Cena classic championship belt.

15:04They let us in that club WWE members are the ones who are going to get the vote, um, during

15:09the John Cena classic.

15:10And then the third thing we get is the first invite T is what he calls him into the John

15:16Cena classic is Cody Rhodes, who comes out.

15:20And this is like historic because it's the first guy ever to be in a John Cena classic.

15:24He talks about Cody being the QB one and how he was putting pressure on himself that he

15:30didn't need to.

15:31And John Cena takes that back and says, you know, he just carries it better than I ever

15:35could.

15:37And then as John Cena and Cody are embracing Randy Orton's music hits.

15:45And as John Cena makes his way up the ramp, he kind of tips his hat to Randy Orton.

15:49There's a little bit of like a hesitation there from Randy.

15:51And then he goes to the ring.

15:53And here's the most poignant thing from this Randy Orton promo.

15:57He gets into the great American bash 2007, where he was dusty roads, Cody's father's last

16:04match.

16:05And he defeated him and he punted him in the head and ended his career.

16:09And that's something I had never thought about previously for this feud.

16:12And they actually said that, that they hadn't really talked about this yet, even though they've

16:16been like poking at each other for like six months, this was great.

16:20And it's accurate.

16:21If you go back and check, he's not lying.

16:24It really is Dusty's last match.

16:26So this was very cool.

16:27And it gave a whole nother layer to why they have something to fight over.

16:31And it also gives Cody all the more motivation to punt Randy in the head.

16:36Even though I said on the previous episode, I really think the punt kick being a focal point

16:40of this match is kind of ludicrous and insane to me.

16:43But the rest of this was solid.

16:45I'm interested to see what the format of the John Cena classic is going to be.

16:48I think it's kind of silly that there's going to be voting for like the performance of the

16:51night kind of thing.

16:52And that's how you're going to determine things.

16:54We'll get into that again in a minute.

16:56We get a recap of Lyra Valkyria and Bayley.

16:59Now, at first, I thought we were going to get that and then go into Lyra and have whatever

17:02she does next.

17:03But we did not.

17:04We got Bayley instead, which tells me Bayley must have re-signed.

17:09So Bayley's on camera and she gets up as she's talking to, oh my gosh, what's his name?

17:15Adam Pearce.

17:17Jade Cargill and the baddies show up.

17:19And I don't know why they're on Raw.

17:21They have no feud on Raw right now.

17:23I suppose the baddies as the women's tag team champions are allowed to migrate for any brand

17:28they want.

17:28But that doesn't have anything to do with Jade.

17:30They are there.

17:31There's some back and forth.

17:32They basically trash talk Bayley as not being an important player anymore.

17:36Bayley gets in Jade's face, talks about how even though they don't know each other that

17:40well, word gets around and it was great that, you know, she had heard that they were,

17:44I forget how she phrased it.

17:45Basically, she made fun of them.

17:46And then she's like, it's great to know it was true.

17:47So she's trash talking Jade and the baddies, which is fine.

17:53You know, Mee Chin and B-Fab, again, they're solid.

17:57They're not doing a lot of words and a lot of speaking, but the little bit they do had

18:00meaning and is helpful.

18:02It does further the storyline.

18:04Then we get the Vision coming out to the ring for their six-man tag team match.

18:08We got Braun Breaker, Austin Theory, and Bronson Reed.

18:12They're going to take on Javon Evans, Penta, and Dragon Lee.

18:14They come to the ring while they're, and the match itself, hard hitting.

18:20The only big move that I thought was kind of weak was outside the ring at one point.

18:25Bronson Reed does like a body check.

18:27And I forget who it was on.

18:29I want to say on Javon.

18:30I could be wrong about that.

18:32But it looked like he just kind of like belly flopped him just a little bit too.

18:35It wasn't even a powerful thing.

18:37If you're a big guy like Bronson Reed, everything needs to be hit with intention, with force,

18:41and really mean more.

18:43This just was like almost like a lazy belly flop into a guy and knocked him over the turnbuckle

18:48or whatever, the guardrail or whatever.

18:49But the Vision hit some really cool stuff here.

18:53And then eventually we get in the ring and there's some reversals.

18:57And Austin Theory ends up catching Javon, who eats a spear from Braun Breaker.

19:01And Braun Breaker picks up the clean win and they defeat Javon Evans, Penta, and Dragon Lee.

19:07But the whole match was fantastic.

19:10Dragon, I can't say it enough.

19:12I say it every week.

19:13Dragon Lee is absolutely amazing.

19:15One of the best pound-for-pound wrestlers in the world.

19:18I really hope they give him a run with that Intercontinental Championship or the United

19:21States title, one or the other.

19:23Man, he is just so supremely talented.

19:25Penta, I want to see as world champion sooner than later.

19:28This is just great stuff all around.

19:30I'm still, I like Javon.

19:32I don't, I'm not seeing him as world champion.

19:34I'm just not.

19:35Maybe Intercontinental, maybe US.

19:37I don't see him as world champion, at least no time soon.

19:40But the other two, definitely I see a path where they should be in a higher position.

19:43And maybe we'll get to see that sooner, hopefully, than later.

19:48From the Vision and six-man match, we get more information on the John Cena Classic,

19:53that there are going to be superstars matched up against NXT stars.

19:57Club WWE fans will vote on the performance of the night, again, taking place Monday, December

20:024th.

20:03And I think we got as much information as they were going to give us tonight.

20:09On Wednesday night, when NXT is going head-to-head with Dynamite, we're going to have John Cena

20:16appear there also.

20:17There's a lot going on that night, because CM Punk is going to be challenging Grayson Waller

20:20for the NXT Championship and various other items.

20:24I actually suspect that Kevin Owens will cost him the NXT Championship.

20:27Just throwing that out there.

20:29But that night, he's going to be inviting somebody from NXT.

20:32He mentioned multiple, but I think it's pretty much one.

20:36Or maybe it isn't.

20:37Maybe it'll be multiple.

20:37We'll have to wait and see.

20:39But that should be some good stuff.

20:41And we'll get to see who's going to be showing up from NXT and see how this, I don't know

20:46if it's a tournament or what it is, how it starts to come together.

20:49In the back, we go back, and now Jade and the baddies are beating down Bayley.

20:53And there's nobody there to help her.

20:55So you start to ask yourself, like, what is Bayley supposed to do here?

20:59Does she go over to SmackDown and engage in a feud there?

21:02They did talk trash about Charlotte.

21:04Now, I get it.

21:05Alexa and Tatum Paxley have been doing their thing while Charlotte's been injured.

21:08Does Bayley go there and team up with Charlotte?

21:10Does she just go there to have a match?

21:12They did leave her laying, and she was clenching her arm.

21:16So I don't know if that's something we're going to lean into.

21:18But I really feel like this is obviously leading to a Bayley versus Jade match.

21:23And we have to have somebody counterbalance the rest of the faction, the baddies.

21:28So I don't know who that ends up being.

21:31And it's like easy things would be like EO, but she's engaged in something with Raquel Rodriguez.

21:36You know, who else is available?

21:37I don't really know.

21:39Does she bring in somebody new, like a Sol Ruka?

21:41I don't know.

21:42I don't know what tie-in she would have.

21:44So I don't know how they're going to play this.

21:46But obviously, that's the direction they're headed.

21:48And I love this for Bayley because she's getting to have another quality program without a huge gap in time.

21:55And we know that she's supposed to be a part of the holiday tour for NXT.

22:00So maybe there's something there.

22:02I don't know.

22:02We'll have to wait and see.

22:03And then we get into main event time.

22:05Solo Sokoa, Royce Keys.

22:07Eventually, Royce has Jada Parker out there with him.

22:10And look, this match is top-notch.

22:13There's physicality.

22:14There's high risk.

22:15There's multiple heavy-hitting shots inside the ring, outside the ring.

22:20This was brutal.

22:22And it's one of the things I've got to say for Royce Keys, for Solo, for Roman, for a lot

22:27of these guys.

22:28Man, they could throw some heavy lumber.

22:30You know, the Sheamus's, the Drew McIntyre's, the Gunther's.

22:33Like, the stuff that these people could put their body through just blows my mind.

22:38This was very physical.

22:40And at one point, Solo, you know, he's set up on the turnbuckle.

22:44He ends up blocking, hitting a splash off the turnbuckle.

22:47And it looks like Solo is going to go for the spike.

22:49And as he does that, the 9-4-6 hit the ring.

22:53And they start to attack.

22:54As they're attacking Solo, the bloodline comes out.

22:58The Roman Reigns' OTC music comes out.

23:00It's Roman and the Usos.

23:02Solo is outside the ring.

23:03We now see it's 4-on-4.

23:05And everybody climbs into the ring.

23:07And it seemed like it took forever for them to finally come to blows.

23:11But eventually, that's exactly what happens.

23:134-on-4 starts breaking down.

23:15We see a battle ensue.

23:16And as the battle's happening, Roman starts to get the upper hand.

23:20He Superman punches Royce Keys.

23:22He Superman punches one of the other guys.

23:23I couldn't tell which one because they always have, like, they're dressed so similarly.

23:27And it really looks like Roman's going to take somebody out here.

23:29But Roman sets up for his spear.

23:32And as he's doing his ooh-ah thing and getting in the corner for a spear,

23:35I think the cameraman really screwed this up.

23:38Because you could see before it was supposed to be that somebody came into the ring with a chair.

23:42That was something you probably were not supposed to see in that order.

23:44Because it really gave it away.

23:46And then we finally are supposed to see it.

23:48There's somebody in the ring.

23:49And they throw a chair at Roman.

23:50Hit Roman in the head with the chair.

23:52And then they help Royce Keys up off the mat.

23:56As they do that, eventually, they pull off their mask.

24:00And I'm going to pause right here.

24:01A couple weeks ago, we had a conversation in one of our episodes about who could be the fifth member

24:08of 946.

24:09And I gave you several options.

24:12And one of the options that I said made a lot of sense because they have the similar look, similar

24:17vibe.

24:17That's street smarts and all that stuff.

24:19I called this.

24:20I said this was a very good possibility.

24:22And that is Cruz Montana being taken to the main roster from NXT.

24:28I don't know what that does for his feud coming up on Wednesday.

24:31But Cruz Montana has joined the 946.

24:34He is person number five, and he is now attacking Roman Reigns with Royce Keys.

24:40We see sidewalk slams.

24:43We see Jey Uso get put through a table, which was a really cool spot because they lifted him up,

24:47and he's kicking his legs in the air.

24:48And it had such dramatic effect.

24:50It was awesome.

24:51Very cool spot.

24:53They lay waste to the entire bloodline.

24:56And now, everybody, it's obvious now where we're going.

24:59Next week, there'll be another brawl.

25:01And before it's all said and done, we're going to see Jacob Fatu come out, and he's going to be

25:05five on five, and it's going to set us up for war games.

25:08The only thing that I'm curious about is I wonder if we get to war games, five on five, and

25:15it looks like something's going to happen, and Jada Parker goes to get involved, and maybe that's where we see

25:19Naomi come out and attack Jada Parker.

25:21I would love that, personally.

25:23I think Naomi deserves to have a huge moment when she comes back.

25:26She's going to get one of the biggest pops ever in WWE history for a return.

25:30I always love those videos on YouTube where it's like the biggest crowd reactions ever.

25:34She's going to get one of those when she comes back.

25:36This is great.

25:37When Cruz Montana hits the ring, he hits a tornado clothesline.

25:41When he reveals himself, everything starts to calm down.

25:44And then as the 946 retreats into the crowd, Roman goes to pull himself up the ropes.

25:50As he gets into the corner, Sami Zayn hits the ring and charges across and hits a haloova kick on

25:56Roman Reigns, laying him out.

25:58The only thing, and this is again against the camera guys, the only thing I did not like is the

26:03cameraman showed Jimmy Uso sitting in the corner, shaking his head when Sami Zayn hit Roman.

26:10I don't want to see the Uso's reaction.

26:13Keep them out of it.

26:14This should have just been Sami Zayn and Roman.

26:17The Uso should not have been in the ring.

26:20And if they're going to be in the ring, keep the camera away from them.

26:22This was really bad camera work.

26:24It's not the Nocta angle.

26:26I think the angle is solid.

26:27They're building this exactly the way it needs to be.

26:30This was a great episode of Raw.

26:33The few little camera angle bobbles here and there, that I trucked none of that up to creative.

26:38I give creative kudos.

26:40Tonight was top to bottom.

26:41One of the best shows they've had in recent memory.

26:44I liked everything on here.

26:45A lot of people missing from the show, but that's okay.

26:48You know, we didn't see any big cast.

26:49We didn't see Rey Mysterio.

26:51We didn't see several people.

26:52But it didn't matter.

26:53This show is stacked top to bottom.

26:55There's some really exciting stuff.

26:56Can't wait to see what they do with Ethan Page being Intercontinental Champion.

26:59There's a lot to decipher there.

27:02Chad Gable, I'm kind of surprised he lost the title after he just beat CM Punk in a one-on

27:06-one match last week at the House Show.

27:08So, not sure where they're going to go with Chad Gable.

27:11I'll be curious to see.

27:12Judgment Day picking up a clean win makes me feel like, you know, live may lose at Crown Jewel.

27:16There's just so much going on.

27:18It was all really well done.

27:19And, again, I've been giving star ratings lately on a scale of one to five stars.

27:22I'm giving this a four-and-a-quarter star show.

27:24This was a really good show.

27:27Technically, I guess a go-home episode for Crown Jewel.

27:30And they did everything they needed to do.

27:31They checked all the boxes they needed to check.

27:33Crown Jewel should be amazing.

27:35I can't wait to see the show.

27:36And this was just, this was exactly what we needed to see for the last Raw before Crown Jewel.

27:42But what did you need to see?
