These 0:06:33.480 --> 0:06:36.919 people have never faced each other and the possibility of 0:06:36.960 --> 0:06:41.919 this match may never happen again. What could this match be? 0:06:42.080 --> 0:06:48.400 Tom a once in a lifetime. They've never faced and 0:06:48.440 --> 0:06:50.440 they may never face off again. 0:06:51.760 --> 0:06:54.680 Is it you versus the Boogie Woogie Man? 0:06:54.760 --> 0:06:58.840 Oh God, damn, I wish nah. I've heard nothing about that, 0:06:59.000 --> 0:07:04.640 So to not look good for that Battle of the Ages, Well, 0:07:04.680 --> 0:07:07.880 tonight is raw and we got a lot coming up 0:07:07.880 --> 0:07:10.119 for Raw. Tonight. There's a street fight for the world 0:07:10.120 --> 0:07:13.040 tag team titles USO's against Austin Theory and Logan Paul 0:07:13.120 --> 0:07:16.480 tag titles on the line, Lash Legend Night Jacks against 0:07:16.480 --> 0:07:22.960 Bailey and lyra Eo versus Raquel. Brock Lesner will appear, well, 0:07:23.000 --> 0:07:26.000 you've got see him, Punkin Roman Reigns under the same roof, 0:07:27.200 --> 0:07:31.120 and Penta against Kofi Kingston. Some of these previews are 0:07:31.160 --> 0:07:35.040 always like they'll be under the same roof, or for SmackDown, 0:07:35.080 --> 0:07:37.960 it was like who will Randy or an Attack this week, 0:07:38.880 --> 0:07:40.760 So it's a mystery. 0:07:41.280 --> 0:07:44.880 Did you see Roman Reigns on I believe was the 0:07:44.960 --> 0:07:47.120 Jimmy Kimmel Show last week. 0:07:47.160 --> 0:07:49.000 I saw a clip of it, but I didn't watch 0:07:49.040 --> 0:07:49.800 the whole interview. 0:07:50.160 --> 0:07:54.520 Well, he essentially tried to set up the match as 0:07:54.560 --> 0:07:58.440 being a battle of the z Bros from Zootopia too, 0:07:59.600 --> 0:08:02.520 since of course Roman Reigns and Seampunk were the two 0:08:02.600 --> 0:08:06.840 voices of the Zebras. So that's a new twist on 0:08:06.880 --> 0:08:09.400 this matchup, I guess, not a new twist, but not 0:08:09.520 --> 0:08:13.880 one that I expected to be used in the anticipation 0:08:13.960 --> 0:08:20.560 and promotion. They were both zbros in Zootopia too, and 0:08:20.600 --> 0:08:21.840 now they will do battle. 0:08:22.920 --> 0:08:24.400 I don't know if I told the story of here 0:08:24.440 --> 0:08:29.880 on this show, but Paisley, Paisley's got into Harry Potter 0:08:30.480 --> 0:08:32.959 and there's like some blonde haired kid on Harry Potter 0:08:33.000 --> 0:08:35.560 that now she thinks is kind of cute, and so 0:08:35.960 --> 0:08:40.400 her and Hanulay we're talking about handsome men, and Haneley goes, 0:08:41.800 --> 0:08:45.040 you know, it was more handsome than Daddy, and I 0:08:45.040 --> 0:08:48.079 was like, I gotta hear this. Who is more handsome 0:08:48.080 --> 0:08:48.280 than you? 0:08:48.360 --> 0:08:48.920 Did say? 0:08:49.080 --> 0:08:51.320 You didn't immediately say, John Cena. 0:08:51.679 --> 0:08:53.920 You know who, she answered, is more handsome than her father. 0:08:55.480 --> 0:09:02.280 The horse from Zootopia. Wha a horse from Zootopia? 0:09:02.760 --> 0:09:04.199 She is not incorrect? 0:09:04.559 --> 0:09:05.640 Who plays this guy? 0:09:06.960 --> 0:09:08.680 I don't know. You don't remember what he looked like here? 0:09:08.679 --> 0:09:12.040 I vaguely remember. Yeah, actually, because when we went to 0:09:13.360 --> 0:09:15.240 I remember who he told the story too. We went 0:09:15.280 --> 0:09:18.480 to Spokane. H I can't mention the name because it 0:09:18.480 --> 0:09:21.199 would break k fabe, but we went up to uh 0:09:21.360 --> 0:09:23.719 to their hotel room. He's got, he's got, he's got 0:09:23.720 --> 0:09:28.040 two kids, and they were watching Zootopia and I'm just 0:09:28.120 --> 0:09:30.560 kind of sitting there stewing, like whatever. And then the 0:09:30.640 --> 0:09:34.280 horse shows up and I was like, all right, fine, 0:09:34.920 --> 0:09:38.040 I had horses definitely more handsome than her daddy. 0:09:38.760 --> 0:09:40.480 Mayor wind Dancer. 0:09:40.280 --> 0:09:45.439 Patrick Warburton apparently plays the horse on Zootopia. 0:09:45.480 --> 0:09:48.319 You know what the horse's name is? Brian? 0:09:49.160 --> 0:09:49.720 Is he really? 0:09:50.559 --> 0:09:52.520 No, it's Ry Brian wind Dancer? 0:09:52.960 --> 0:09:53.520 Is it really? 0:09:54.160 --> 0:09:54.439 Yeah? 0:09:54.480 --> 0:09:55.559 Golly? How about that? 0:09:57.280 --> 0:09:57.480 Well? 0:09:57.559 --> 0:10:00.320 Anyway, what can you do? All right? John cenas speaking 0:10:00.320 --> 0:10:03.760 of John Cena, your hero John Cena. He will be 0:10:03.920 --> 0:10:07.800 at WrestleMania forty two as the host for the weekend. 0:10:08.679 --> 0:10:10.520 He posted a video on x from Hollywood. He is 0:10:10.520 --> 0:10:13.800 currently filming a Netflix movie. He said Los Angeles and 0:10:13.880 --> 0:10:18.240 Las Vegas are in close proximity, and since the show 0:10:18.320 --> 0:10:21.280 is in need of a host, he said, among things, 0:10:21.880 --> 0:10:26.600 it's a role he's looking forward to pursue. He he says, 0:10:26.720 --> 0:10:31.160 I'm shooting movie for Netflix called One Attempt Remaining, which 0:10:31.160 --> 0:10:34.960 he notes you can see when it comes out. Thanks. 0:10:35.040 --> 0:10:35.319 John. 0:10:35.800 --> 0:10:37.839 Also on the road, which is ironic because there's a 0:10:37.920 --> 0:10:40.520 road to WrestleMania going on. Hollywood is close to Vegas, room 0:10:40.559 --> 0:10:43.280 around town. WrestleMania is a host. Well, I'm already on 0:10:43.320 --> 0:10:45.640 that road. I'll see you at WrestleMania. So yes, John 0:10:45.760 --> 0:10:48.600 Cena is going to be the host of WrestleMania. 0:10:49.120 --> 0:10:52.760 Hold on, We've got guys out there have been put 0:10:52.800 --> 0:10:56.640 in work all of twenty twenty six, all of last year, 0:10:56.679 --> 0:11:00.239 and they're being told they can't get a spot on WrestleMania. 0:11:00.559 --> 0:11:04.480 What has John Cena done lately to deserve a hosting 0:11:04.520 --> 0:11:06.439 gig on Wressellmania? 0:11:07.320 --> 0:11:09.959 Hey, dude, it's just it's not just your sarcasms. 0:11:10.559 --> 0:11:13.920 Like they should do the angle where he's in the 0:11:13.960 --> 0:11:16.319 audience trying to get the hosting gig. 0:11:17.120 --> 0:11:18.839 Hey, I think they did that one year. But the 0:11:19.080 --> 0:11:21.720 bigger thing is, remember when Johnson was doing that retirement 0:11:21.760 --> 0:11:25.160 tour and they were selling tickets as this is the 0:11:25.280 --> 0:11:28.400 last time you will ever see John Cena in such 0:11:28.440 --> 0:11:30.920 and such, the last time you'll ever see Johnsen and 0:11:30.920 --> 0:11:33.920 such as such, And of course I think we all 0:11:33.960 --> 0:11:37.000 knew it's not the last time. But hey, is anybody 0:11:37.000 --> 0:11:39.199 in Vegas? Can you confirm whether or not the last 0:11:39.200 --> 0:11:42.040 time WWE is in Vegas? They announced that it would 0:11:42.040 --> 0:11:44.680 be the last time you would ever see John Cena 0:11:44.720 --> 0:11:47.480 in Las Vegas. Because here he is, he's the host 0:11:47.520 --> 0:11:48.800 of the show. 0:11:49.000 --> 0:11:54.680 How would anybody in Las Vegas or anywhere else see 0:11:54.880 --> 0:11:55.600 John Cena? 0:11:55.640 --> 0:11:59.240 Brian Well, he says, we're gonna seen it a Russell 0:11:59.240 --> 0:12:02.880 MAINI he's retired. You can see him now because you 0:12:02.920 --> 0:12:07.080 know what else, Tom he used to say, never give 0:12:07.160 --> 0:12:10.880 up and then he quit. So I can't take anything, 0:12:10.960 --> 0:12:14.959 this guy says seriously at this point. Now, got a 0:12:14.960 --> 0:12:18.959 couple of injuries to talk about. Actually, we'll do Kyle 0:12:18.960 --> 0:12:22.080 Fletcher next because I got more on that one. But 0:12:22.200 --> 0:12:25.920 Nicki Bella injured her. I guess her ankle. She rolled 0:12:25.960 --> 0:12:30.800 her ankle or something on SmackDown brawling outside with Naya Jacks. 0:12:30.800 --> 0:12:34.160 We couldn't see it. It was like off screen. But whatever happened, 0:12:34.200 --> 0:12:37.640 I mean, she could barely walk. She hobbled into the ring. 0:12:38.160 --> 0:12:41.720 They did like a quick something or other. She ended aboutside. 0:12:41.920 --> 0:12:44.640 The doctor went over to check on her, and then 0:12:44.679 --> 0:12:46.280 that was the en of Nicki Bella, like when they 0:12:46.280 --> 0:12:48.640 did the Schmas afterwards, and all the baby faces are 0:12:48.640 --> 0:12:51.320 in the rings celebrating. She never got back in the ring, 0:12:51.920 --> 0:12:54.680 but apparently they say she's gonna be all right, so 0:12:55.160 --> 0:12:59.640 that's good. We've also got Roxanne Perez who was out 0:12:59.679 --> 0:13:03.120 of action for quite a while. She underwent surgery to 0:13:03.160 --> 0:13:07.319 have a benign mass removed from her back which had 0:13:07.360 --> 0:13:09.400 caused her a lot of pain in the last couple 0:13:09.480 --> 0:13:12.600 of months, and she should be back at any time. 0:13:13.559 --> 0:13:19.199 And this one is interesting because if you recall, Finn 0:13:19.280 --> 0:13:21.280 Balor is the one that brought her into the judgment 0:13:21.360 --> 0:13:24.720 day and since she's been gone, Finn Baler has been 0:13:24.800 --> 0:13:27.920 kicked out of the Judgment day. So I guess the 0:13:28.040 --> 0:13:31.080 question is when she comes back, is she going to 0:13:31.120 --> 0:13:34.679 align herself with Finn Balor or is she going to 0:13:34.800 --> 0:13:38.200 end up back in the judgment day? So we shall see. 0:13:38.280 --> 0:13:42.400 Probably tonight because they're in Madison Square Garden. They usually 0:13:42.400 --> 0:13:45.000 like to do a lot of big stuff. And then 0:13:45.080 --> 0:13:49.720 also Josh Alexander got some bad news. He was injured 0:13:49.720 --> 0:13:53.240 on the March eighteenth Collision taping and he went to 0:13:53.280 --> 0:13:59.160 his doctor and as doctor told him that he needs surgery. 0:14:00.120 --> 0:14:02.440 Found out minutes ago how serious it was. I've been 0:14:02.480 --> 0:14:05.040 limping and in pain for a week. My surgeon told 0:14:05.120 --> 0:14:08.200 me I'm gonna need surgery this coming Wednesday. My knee 0:14:08.240 --> 0:14:11.280 injury is pretty severe. I will not be clear to compete. 0:14:11.360 --> 0:14:14.839 No timetable set for my return. He was the maple 0:14:14.920 --> 0:14:19.200 Leaf Pro Canadian Champion as well, and obviously he was 0:14:19.240 --> 0:14:23.040 stripped of the title and I think they did something, 0:14:23.880 --> 0:14:26.400 but I forget who ended up becoming the interim champion 0:14:26.480 --> 0:14:28.600 or whatever maple Leaf did. I'll get that after the break. 0:14:29.120 --> 0:14:32.640 But anyway, best wishes to everybody who is injured. And 0:14:32.880 --> 0:14:35.000 we'll talk about Kyle Fletcher when we come back from 0:14:35.040 --> 0:14:37.800 the break, because there's actually a lot to talk about 0:14:37.840 --> 0:14:41.360 with Kyle Fletcher, but that'll be coming up after the break. 0:14:41.360 --> 0:14:45.480 How was your hip, Tom, I'm too. 0:14:45.400 --> 0:14:47.440 Hip to be square, I'll tell you that much. 0:14:47.720 --> 0:14:50.680 Well, how'd you feel after that, Well you just let 0:14:50.680 --> 0:14:53.280 it go. Come back, dude, I can't find out how 0:14:53.280 --> 0:14:55.600 my friend's doing. Like people ask me all the time, 0:14:55.800 --> 0:14:59.880 how's Filthy's hip? How's filthy doing? How's Filthy's hip? It's like, well, 0:15:00.080 --> 0:15:02.160 he's my co host on the show, I'll ask him. 0:15:02.240 --> 0:15:04.320 Then I asked him and he's like, ah, no, one cares. 0:15:04.360 --> 0:15:05.000 What ask me. 0:15:04.960 --> 0:15:07.640 About my hip? You want me to violate hipp a law. 0:15:07.680 --> 0:15:09.800 It's not a hippo law. Like, how's it feel? Does 0:15:09.840 --> 0:15:10.720 it hurt? Right now? 0:15:11.000 --> 0:15:13.240 This is this is not information for you to know. 0:15:13.360 --> 0:15:17.520 Oh God, the worst. Just give us something to getting 0:15:17.520 --> 0:15:19.800 into the break here for the next twenty five seconds. 0:15:20.200 --> 0:15:22.480 All right, Dom, take us to break. Brother, We'll go 0:15:22.560 --> 0:15:24.680 early and then we'll come back after the break and 0:15:24.720 --> 0:15:29.240 talk about Kyle Fletcher idiot back in a moment Observer Live. 0:15:34.520 --> 0:15:38.040 You are listening to wrestling Observer Live with Brian Alvarez 0:15:38.080 --> 0:15:41.760 and Mike Simper Beebee on the Sports Byline Broadcasting Network. 0:15:43.880 --> 0:15:45.840 So a lot to talk about with Kyle Fletcher here. 0:15:47.080 --> 0:15:51.880 So first off, on the Collision Show this weekend, they 0:15:51.880 --> 0:15:54.880 were doing a tag match and it was Mark Davis 0:15:54.880 --> 0:15:58.840 and Kyle Fletcher versus Zach Wentz and Desmond Xavier Rascals, 0:15:59.480 --> 0:16:01.640 and they're doing a spot there at the end where 0:16:02.280 --> 0:16:06.800 Davis and Kyle they grabbed the baby faces and they 0:16:06.800 --> 0:16:10.160 go for the double overhead belly to belly deal. But 0:16:11.000 --> 0:16:14.040 they're facing each other and so as they go to 0:16:14.080 --> 0:16:17.680 do the move, like they're actually too close to each other, 0:16:18.720 --> 0:16:23.280 and so Kyle's leg as he's like doing the bridge, 0:16:24.120 --> 0:16:28.200 bunks into Davis's leg and Kyle all of a sudden 0:16:28.240 --> 0:16:30.280 can't get his own leg out of the way, and 0:16:30.320 --> 0:16:33.760 so he fell on his own ankle and he immediately 0:16:33.800 --> 0:16:36.160 grabbed his ankle, but then stopped because he wasn't supposed 0:16:36.160 --> 0:16:38.600 to and he kind of rolled out of the way. 0:16:38.960 --> 0:16:42.000 And I mean he did the whole match. He finished 0:16:42.040 --> 0:16:46.640 the match, He limped around, he did some limping running, 0:16:46.800 --> 0:16:48.920 he threw boots. I mean, he did the whole match. 0:16:48.960 --> 0:16:53.760 He finished the match. But then you know, he walks. 0:16:53.880 --> 0:16:56.240 They got the ramp and he did not walk up 0:16:56.280 --> 0:16:59.160 that ramp. He went straight down through the other way 0:16:59.200 --> 0:17:01.400 to get out of there, and he did leave in 0:17:01.440 --> 0:17:04.439 a walking boot. So we don't have an update, but 0:17:04.880 --> 0:17:08.560 hopefully he's all right, because you know, as we're gonna 0:17:08.600 --> 0:17:10.960 talk about in a moment with Adam Cole. You know, 0:17:11.040 --> 0:17:14.840 Adam Cole, he ran and he jumped off the ramp, 0:17:14.920 --> 0:17:17.919 landed on his foot and like destroyed his foot and 0:17:18.000 --> 0:17:24.440 he was out forever. You just, you know, honestly like that. 0:17:24.600 --> 0:17:27.040 That's because I attacked him that could have been a 0:17:27.040 --> 0:17:30.800 collision and beat up his leg like months before that. 0:17:31.240 --> 0:17:33.200 But I know you don't like to talk about it, Tom, 0:17:33.200 --> 0:17:36.879 but you did have a hip replacement. And I watched 0:17:36.880 --> 0:17:41.960 your comeback this weekend, and you recovered much faster than 0:17:42.040 --> 0:17:44.760 Adam Cole from his broken foot. You recovered much faster 0:17:44.880 --> 0:17:48.800 than Bianca Bella from her broken finger. So you never 0:17:48.840 --> 0:17:51.359 know what's going to happen in one of these injuries. 0:17:51.040 --> 0:17:54.120 Right, But I did not recover as fast as Will Osprey, Well, 0:17:54.160 --> 0:17:55.760 no one did from his broken neck. 0:17:55.840 --> 0:17:58.200 John Cena didn't recover as fast from his torn peck 0:17:58.320 --> 0:18:01.560 then or whatever that happened here ago. But anyway, so 0:18:01.680 --> 0:18:05.480 Kyle is hopefully all right. And you know, last week 0:18:06.600 --> 0:18:11.840 he was doing an interview and they asked him about 0:18:12.160 --> 0:18:13.880 I think he was either all out or all in. 0:18:14.119 --> 0:18:16.040 All out and all in being next to each other, 0:18:16.080 --> 0:18:18.040 I can never figure out which is which. But it 0:18:18.160 --> 0:18:21.919 was the match where he was going to go in 0:18:21.960 --> 0:18:26.280 there and he was scheduled to beat Adam Cole for 0:18:26.400 --> 0:18:29.280 the T and T title. I believe it was a 0:18:29.280 --> 0:18:31.800 T and T title. There's so many belts, but the 0:18:31.840 --> 0:18:34.000 boint is that was a day that he was going 0:18:34.080 --> 0:18:37.080 to go in there and beat Adam Cole for the 0:18:37.119 --> 0:18:40.360 T and T title. This was all in Texas and 0:18:41.000 --> 0:18:43.359 like he'd flown his whole family there and he was 0:18:43.400 --> 0:18:45.640 all excited, and so he was asked about it because 0:18:45.640 --> 0:18:49.080 obviously they didn't happen, and he did the interview talking 0:18:49.119 --> 0:18:50.399 about how it was one of the worst days of 0:18:50.400 --> 0:18:53.480 his life and the rug got pulled out from under him, 0:18:53.520 --> 0:18:56.480 and he was he was all, you know, depressed about it, 0:18:57.040 --> 0:19:00.760 and you know, last week on the show, I got 0:19:00.760 --> 0:19:04.480 pretty hot because you know, the reason the rug got 0:19:04.520 --> 0:19:06.720 pulled out from under him, the reason the match didn't 0:19:06.760 --> 0:19:13.399 take place is because he can cussed Adam Cole, which 0:19:13.440 --> 0:19:17.160 pretty much most likely has led to Adam Cole's retirement. 0:19:18.000 --> 0:19:20.680 And because of that, they ended up doing the four 0:19:20.760 --> 0:19:24.720 way or whatever they did, and Dustin Rhodes left with 0:19:24.800 --> 0:19:28.320 the title, and I was just I was upset about 0:19:28.359 --> 0:19:30.040 the interview because it was like, he didn't mention Adam 0:19:30.080 --> 0:19:32.480 Cole at all. He was just only talking about how 0:19:32.520 --> 0:19:39.320 he had a bad day. And to his credit, you know, 0:19:39.440 --> 0:19:42.439 there was a lot of criticism about this, and he 0:19:42.480 --> 0:19:45.800 could have pulled a ricochet and just like got nuts 0:19:45.840 --> 0:19:48.000 on Twitter and yelled at people and got all angry 0:19:48.000 --> 0:19:52.439 and defensive. But instead, you know, a couple of days later, 0:19:53.320 --> 0:20:00.000 he did an interview with Adrian Hernandez and he apologized. 0:20:00.000 --> 0:20:04.159 He said, I was very upset with myself for the 0:20:04.200 --> 0:20:06.800 way that I worded it in that interview. I would 0:20:06.840 --> 0:20:09.439 like to apologize for the way I spoke and the 0:20:09.480 --> 0:20:11.800 words that I used. I think the words I used 0:20:11.800 --> 0:20:13.800 were a bit insensitive, saying it was one of the 0:20:13.800 --> 0:20:16.480 worst days of my life. I thought process when I 0:20:16.520 --> 0:20:18.960 was answering that and answering any question about that day. 0:20:19.480 --> 0:20:22.320 I never want to talk about somebody else's story and 0:20:22.400 --> 0:20:25.520 that whole situation, a lot of it is Adam's story 0:20:25.560 --> 0:20:28.240 to tell. When I was answering that question, they asked 0:20:28.240 --> 0:20:30.879 me about my emotions on that day, I did my 0:20:30.960 --> 0:20:33.720 best to not address what happened with Adam to the 0:20:33.720 --> 0:20:37.159 best of my ability and just focus on how I felt. Truthfully, 0:20:37.440 --> 0:20:39.080 that was one of the worst days of my life. 0:20:39.600 --> 0:20:41.919 I had people in my ear telling me you should 0:20:41.920 --> 0:20:44.359 be saying in promos you injured Adam Cole using it 0:20:44.400 --> 0:20:47.360 for heat or whatever, and I never felt good about that, 0:20:47.640 --> 0:20:49.840 so I've tried my best to stay away from talking 0:20:49.840 --> 0:20:51.720 about it. One of the reasons it was one of 0:20:51.760 --> 0:20:54.199 the worst days of my life is because, think about it, 0:20:54.280 --> 0:20:56.440 I had to watch someone that I admire very much 0:20:56.720 --> 0:20:59.600 and look up to stand in the ring and cry 0:20:59.640 --> 0:21:02.840 and base say he might never wrestle again. And then 0:21:02.880 --> 0:21:05.080 I had to go out there in the ring and perform, 0:21:05.119 --> 0:21:08.320 basically knowing it was possibly my fault, and that everybody 0:21:08.359 --> 0:21:10.600 in the arena knew it was my fault. And I'm 0:21:10.600 --> 0:21:13.480 sure you could imagine the headspace. I really don't feel 0:21:13.520 --> 0:21:14.920 like I have the right to complain about any of 0:21:14.960 --> 0:21:17.160 it because of what Adam is going through and has 0:21:17.200 --> 0:21:21.240 gone through. My feeling's pale in comparison to his, so 0:21:22.880 --> 0:21:27.879 all credit to Kyle Fletcher. He made some comments and 0:21:28.280 --> 0:21:32.080 people were critical, and he understood why, and he apologized 0:21:32.119 --> 0:21:36.360 and he explained himself, and you know, I was really 0:21:36.400 --> 0:21:40.879 happy to hear that. So hopefully he's okay. Hopefully Adam 0:21:40.920 --> 0:21:45.200 Cole is improving and can come back someday hopefully nobody 0:21:45.240 --> 0:21:47.159 ever gets hurt and wrestling again, although that's not going 0:21:47.240 --> 0:21:51.199 to happen, but it was very nice to see that 0:21:51.280 --> 0:21:52.000 response to that. 0:21:53.080 --> 0:21:55.640 Speaking of which, would you like to talk about the 0:21:55.800 --> 0:21:57.960 TNA Sacrifice main event? 0:21:58.119 --> 0:22:01.320 Oh my god, there's another one. Well, tell us what 0:22:01.400 --> 0:22:03.320 happened and I'll get the quote from. 0:22:03.960 --> 0:22:07.440 There was a match taking place between Mike Santana defending 0:22:08.160 --> 0:22:11.399 against Steve Macklin in one of Brian's favorite storylines of 0:22:11.440 --> 0:22:17.200 twenty twenty six, where Steve Macklin has attacked multiple people 0:22:17.480 --> 0:22:21.840 on TNA's staff. He has interrupted matches and caused chaos 0:22:21.920 --> 0:22:26.040 and was rewarded with a title shot. And in that match, 0:22:26.080 --> 0:22:29.560 it was very early on, within maybe two minutes or 0:22:29.560 --> 0:22:32.160 so three minutes of the match, they were both going 0:22:32.200 --> 0:22:34.960 back and forth off the ropes, running into each other, 0:22:35.119 --> 0:22:38.480 and you know, it's a pretty common spot. One guy 0:22:38.480 --> 0:22:40.640 will hit the ropes, hit a move, then he'll run 0:22:40.680 --> 0:22:43.680 back to the other side and the opponent will cut 0:22:43.760 --> 0:22:47.560
