Mike Simber b 0:02:50.680 --> 0:02:56.000 B also of Wrestling Observer dot com. Well, we've got 0:02:56.040 --> 0:02:58.959 a lot of big shows coming up, everybody. Our favorite 0:02:59.040 --> 0:03:01.520 show at x T two point oh takes place tonight. 0:03:02.280 --> 0:03:07.360 The itamly takes place on on Wednesday, Rampage on Friday. 0:03:07.480 --> 0:03:10.960 We actually have matches for next week's raw already. But 0:03:11.080 --> 0:03:13.799 here's what we got coming up everyone. Tonight on n 0:03:13.919 --> 0:03:17.320 x T two point oh, braun Breaker is going to 0:03:17.360 --> 0:03:22.639 be facing Duke Hudson, who's six five, in a non 0:03:22.639 --> 0:03:26.560 title match. Mandy Rose will be facing Indie Heartwell in 0:03:26.639 --> 0:03:29.880 a non titled match. Pretty Deadly Only facing Roderick Strong 0:03:29.960 --> 0:03:34.320 and David Kemp in a non titled match. These titles 0:03:34.320 --> 0:03:37.720 are very prestigious, Dress and No Fe and Malika Blade 0:03:37.920 --> 0:03:41.360 versus Stacks and two dimes, which, by the way, I 0:03:41.400 --> 0:03:46.400 was alerted yesterday. The two dimes is also I guess 0:03:46.400 --> 0:03:49.040 a term for like a life sentence in prison two 0:03:49.080 --> 0:03:53.600 dimes twenty years. It's not a life sentence. Well, life 0:03:53.600 --> 0:03:55.680 sentence is normally twenty years. That's why you can get 0:03:55.680 --> 0:04:01.120 consecutive life sentences. What are you talking about? Where have 0:04:01.320 --> 0:04:05.440 you been? Bro It depends on if you anyway, this 0:04:05.480 --> 0:04:07.440 guy ain't even twenty, so I'm not sure how even 0:04:07.520 --> 0:04:10.880 got two times unless he committed some horrible crime when 0:04:10.920 --> 0:04:13.960 he was zero. Maybe it's because he's twenty. That's how 0:04:14.000 --> 0:04:16.800 you had ten plus ten two twenty years old? Two times? 0:04:16.880 --> 0:04:25.320 What's happening? Elbow fire and electro Lopez and Wesley versus Shunga? 0:04:26.839 --> 0:04:33.279 He was born in prison? This guy says, oh, man, 0:04:33.960 --> 0:04:41.000 what how long is a life sentence? It's like eighty 0:04:41.080 --> 0:04:44.200 years or sixty years or something. Life sentence any type 0:04:44.200 --> 0:04:46.560 of imprisonment where defendant is required to remain in prison 0:04:46.560 --> 0:04:48.599 for all of their natural life or until parole. So 0:04:48.640 --> 0:04:51.080 how long is a life sentence? Well, in most of 0:04:51.080 --> 0:04:52.839 the United States, a life sentence means a person in 0:04:52.880 --> 0:04:57.599 prison for fifteen years with the chance of parole. So 0:04:57.680 --> 0:05:02.080 there you go, soft parole boards. I guess letting people 0:05:02.080 --> 0:05:07.120 out early, raising Arizona or something like that. But there 0:05:07.160 --> 0:05:14.600 are multiple types of life imprisonment. There's uh fifteen years 0:05:14.600 --> 0:05:17.160 to life twenty five years to life, life with mercy, 0:05:17.279 --> 0:05:22.760 indeterminate life sentences, life without the possibility of parole, life 0:05:22.760 --> 0:05:27.920 without mercy, etcetera, etcetera. But the point is without mercy. Yeah, 0:05:28.000 --> 0:05:30.600 can you imagine that? Damn? I should have had funt 0:05:30.680 --> 0:05:33.520 Leroy read those to life though, that's the one that 0:05:33.560 --> 0:05:36.120 sounds most familiar. So we really don't know what what 0:05:36.240 --> 0:05:38.240 two times what his name is all about. I think 0:05:38.279 --> 0:05:41.719 he's got twenty cents to his name, but other people 0:05:41.720 --> 0:05:44.640 have suggested other things. And I mean, we don't really 0:05:44.640 --> 0:05:47.080 know what stax means either. When he gets cut in 0:05:47.160 --> 0:05:49.600 three months, I guess one we'll find that out. I mean, 0:05:49.640 --> 0:05:54.200 maybe he's really into paper this stacks. Maybe he works 0:05:54.200 --> 0:05:56.440 at a print shop. I don't know. We do anything 0:05:56.480 --> 0:06:00.040 about these two guys. Maybe he likes playing Djanga Dynamo it. 0:06:00.200 --> 0:06:03.800 On Wednesday, we have FTR versus Rapunk device for the 0:06:03.880 --> 0:06:06.560 Ring of Honor World Take Team Titles. So they got 0:06:06.560 --> 0:06:09.880 titles on the line on this show, brother, we got 0:06:10.080 --> 0:06:14.719 some O Joe Kylo Reiley Men's Tournaments Semifinal, Britt Baker, 0:06:14.800 --> 0:06:19.039 Tony Storm Women's Tournament Semifinal, Ward Lows Shan Spears with 0:06:19.200 --> 0:06:23.400 m JF is the referee, Jungle Boys, Swerve Strickland and 0:06:23.480 --> 0:06:26.520 Ricky Starks in a three way see him Punk and 0:06:26.600 --> 0:06:32.039 Hangman Page will have a confrontation and just added thunder 0:06:32.160 --> 0:06:36.320 Rosa will be interviewed by Tony Hivanni. Oh no, it 0:06:36.400 --> 0:06:40.080 never works out well. It's becoming a parody now, this 0:06:40.080 --> 0:06:42.560 this whole deal with her and it's this has not 0:06:42.680 --> 0:06:45.080 been the title reign that I would have expected that 0:06:45.120 --> 0:06:48.839 thunder Rosa would have like, try to turn this one around. 0:06:49.040 --> 0:06:51.239 I don't know if an interview segment with Tony Hivoni 0:06:51.360 --> 0:06:54.040 is going to do it, because you know Nyla Rose 0:06:54.120 --> 0:06:56.800 that one didn't work out too well. And ye, these 0:06:56.800 --> 0:07:00.440 things just don't work out well. And of course Raw 0:07:00.600 --> 0:07:02.839 next week if you do not see Raw, will do 0:07:02.839 --> 0:07:05.000 the Raw report after the break. But it was originally 0:07:05.040 --> 0:07:07.760 going to be Oscar versus Bianca bell Air at Helen 0:07:07.760 --> 0:07:10.560 his Cell because Oscar had beaten Becky Lynch last week. 0:07:11.240 --> 0:07:14.800 But Becky got put into another match this week where 0:07:14.800 --> 0:07:17.760 if she won she would be added to the match. 0:07:17.800 --> 0:07:20.720 So she won. Now it's a three way, so next 0:07:20.760 --> 0:07:22.680 week on the go Home Raw you get to see 0:07:22.680 --> 0:07:27.200 the match. There was originally the championship match at Helena's Cell. 0:07:27.280 --> 0:07:30.800 It will be Oscar versus Bianca bell Air non title 0:07:30.920 --> 0:07:36.800 next week and the return to action of Lacey Evans. 0:07:36.920 --> 0:07:39.880 We're gonna find out one way or the other. I 0:07:39.920 --> 0:07:42.960 shouldn't say that I expect to find out next week 0:07:42.960 --> 0:07:45.680 if she has a baby face or if they're actually 0:07:45.720 --> 0:07:49.920 going hell with Lacey, because it was and you know 0:07:49.960 --> 0:07:53.200 how these things go. The plan was that she would 0:07:53.240 --> 0:07:56.240 be a hell. Once everybody heard that, they just were 0:07:56.280 --> 0:08:00.520 like a ghast. So it's possible the they're gonna go 0:08:00.560 --> 0:08:02.920 baby face with her, But I guess we'll find out 0:08:03.000 --> 0:08:06.240 on Monday. Listen. I have no problem long term with 0:08:06.320 --> 0:08:08.360 going heel with Lacey Evans. At some point you can 0:08:08.480 --> 0:08:11.400 make some sort of change. But to do all of that, 0:08:12.080 --> 0:08:13.760 because you know what, you can only do it once. 0:08:15.000 --> 0:08:18.000 It's like the Cameron Grimes deal. I mean, if that 0:08:18.040 --> 0:08:20.240 guy would have lost, how many times can he go 0:08:20.320 --> 0:08:22.720 back to the same story about how he promised his 0:08:22.760 --> 0:08:24.240 father he would win a title in n x T. 0:08:24.560 --> 0:08:30.120 I mean you could, but I mean the jump it 0:08:30.200 --> 0:08:33.640 was strike when the iron is hot. Have her work 0:08:33.679 --> 0:08:36.480 as a baby face, see how over she can get 0:08:36.520 --> 0:08:40.960 as a baby face, and then eventually fine, turn her heel, 0:08:41.000 --> 0:08:44.000 but you can never do this six weeks of vignettes 0:08:44.040 --> 0:08:46.880 again to get her over as a heroic baby face. 0:08:46.920 --> 0:08:51.520 So don't miss his up, you idiots. That's my advice 0:08:52.800 --> 0:08:58.720 nobody ever takes. We returning to Saudi Arabian November, maybe 0:08:58.760 --> 0:09:03.720 Lacy Evans can work on that show November five, so 0:09:03.760 --> 0:09:06.920 it'll be just a few weeks before the Survivor series. 0:09:07.880 --> 0:09:10.679 And uh yeah, this is how they make their money. 0:09:10.720 --> 0:09:14.080 Sixty million dollars a show, approximately every time they do 0:09:14.120 --> 0:09:17.040 a show in Saudi Arabia. So if you're wondering why, 0:09:17.160 --> 0:09:20.959 well stacks and two times, maybe that's why. So they're 0:09:21.000 --> 0:09:24.600 gonna go there on November five, make their money. And 0:09:24.679 --> 0:09:29.720 that's the story. Christmas money. I can keep going if 0:09:29.760 --> 0:09:31.679 you want, Mike, well, what do you want me to 0:09:31.720 --> 0:09:35.360 add to that? Nothing smacked down two point zero three 0:09:35.440 --> 0:09:38.880 one million viewers, up eleven percent, largest audience for the 0:09:38.920 --> 0:09:43.920 show since April fifteen point four five in eighteen forty nine, 0:09:44.120 --> 0:09:47.559 So that's pretty good number there. Rampage heared at seven 0:09:47.720 --> 0:09:51.240 Eastern four on the West Coast, four thousand views up. 0:09:51.960 --> 0:09:57.800 Why am I so itchy? Well, Billy Kidman all of 0:09:57.880 --> 0:10:00.200 a sudden, Now do you fleas over there? It's it's 0:10:00.280 --> 0:10:04.880 called it's called I've been crying about this weather new 0:10:04.880 --> 0:10:08.440 fabric soft. How we were eight days into May and 0:10:08.480 --> 0:10:11.120 we broke the record for rain. Eight days into the month, 0:10:11.200 --> 0:10:14.520 we've already broken the record, and then by by day 0:10:14.600 --> 0:10:17.880 fifteen we had double the rain we ever have in May. 0:10:18.280 --> 0:10:21.120 I was just ready to just you know what I'm saying. 0:10:21.559 --> 0:10:23.120 And then all of a sudden, the sun came out 0:10:23.160 --> 0:10:25.760 the other day and it was like it was I 0:10:25.760 --> 0:10:28.200 think it hit like sixty eight or seventy and it 0:10:28.240 --> 0:10:31.160 was like a heat wave. We lost power and then 0:10:31.200 --> 0:10:35.160 like my allergies exploded. So yeah, that's what's going on. 0:10:35.760 --> 0:10:38.439 So I apologize for all the itching. Anyway, I think 0:10:38.520 --> 0:10:40.760 just mold and mildew up there. Most of the year, 0:10:41.480 --> 0:10:45.360 we don't have mold or mildew. We clean our houses. 0:10:46.040 --> 0:10:48.520 We don't what you think's going on. We leave everything 0:10:48.520 --> 0:10:51.520 out in the rain, we bring it inside. Does your 0:10:51.520 --> 0:10:54.280 help queen your house? Yeah, we actually hire people to 0:10:54.320 --> 0:10:57.640 clean this house. And if you saw this house, you 0:10:57.800 --> 0:11:02.920 you'd probably hire more people than we do. So ANYWAYUD 0:11:02.960 --> 0:11:05.800 viewers for rampage up twenty point six percent point one, 0:11:05.880 --> 0:11:11.480 five and eighteen best rating since April for the day 0:11:11.480 --> 0:11:13.920 on cable. Pretty soon this will all be over. They'll 0:11:13.920 --> 0:11:15.480 be back in their normal time slot. Then we can 0:11:15.480 --> 0:11:19.520 accurately judge them again. But that's that's the update, and 0:11:19.559 --> 0:11:23.160 that's the news. Everybody. Have you been watching the any 0:11:23.240 --> 0:11:25.240 of the New Japan Best of the Super Juniors? I 0:11:25.240 --> 0:11:28.880 have not watched one second of it. Oh man, I'm 0:11:28.880 --> 0:11:31.920 lot going on dude, Yeah, well is it good? Are 0:11:31.920 --> 0:11:33.680 you just gonna ask me the question and not answer 0:11:33.760 --> 0:11:37.040 did you watch the second? Yes? I've seen almost every 0:11:37.040 --> 0:11:41.400 match so far. It's been fantastic so far, but a 0:11:41.400 --> 0:11:45.719 lot of really good wrestling, and I can say, can 0:11:45.760 --> 0:11:48.199 you believe that? But I can see it like literally 0:11:48.280 --> 0:11:50.360 like three to three and a half star matches. There's 0:11:50.400 --> 0:11:52.520 been a couple of outliers that have been really good. 0:11:52.520 --> 0:11:56.160 That El Desperado is look fantastic being over there. Ace 0:11:56.240 --> 0:11:59.160 Austin from t NA has really impressed me being over there. 0:11:59.280 --> 0:12:02.600 He's been in perfectly so you know, I can see 0:12:02.600 --> 0:12:04.760 the g One starting off with a lot more fire 0:12:04.840 --> 0:12:07.400 than this has. But for a lot of guys, this 0:12:07.480 --> 0:12:09.560 is their first time in Japan, that's our first time 0:12:09.559 --> 0:12:11.480 working for New Japan and with some of the opponents 0:12:11.520 --> 0:12:15.600 they've been with, But you know, guys like Titan, Clarke, Connors, 0:12:15.880 --> 0:12:19.240 t J P, all of those guys have stood out. Well. 0:12:19.280 --> 0:12:24.120 You know, maybe I'll maybe I'll watch some after n 0:12:24.240 --> 0:12:26.040 x T two point out tonight.

I mean, there was good stuff on 0:12:52.120 --> 0:12:57.320 the show. Yeah, did you watch it? Man? Mett Riddle 0:12:57.400 --> 0:13:00.960 came out crying. I was crying so sad to have 0:13:01.080 --> 0:13:05.240 lost that match. And his friend Randy, Randy's been having 0:13:05.280 --> 0:13:08.880 a rough time last couple of years, back hurts, He's 0:13:08.920 --> 0:13:12.600 just in pain all the time, and he knew Randy 0:13:12.640 --> 0:13:16.320 didn't want to let him down. But he let Randy down, 0:13:17.280 --> 0:13:19.360 and Randy's not here tonight. And he looked in the 0:13:19.400 --> 0:13:21.200 came and he says, Randy, I just want you to 0:13:21.240 --> 0:13:26.160 know I love you. Fans are practically crying. It's very 0:13:26.160 --> 0:13:28.760 heart wrenching. Little segment right here then read to a 0:13:28.800 --> 0:13:30.840 match or led to a match. Riddle in the Street 0:13:30.840 --> 0:13:34.400 profits versus Sammy and the USOS because this, I mean, 0:13:34.400 --> 0:13:36.880 they haven't officially said anything, but the brand extension is 0:13:37.040 --> 0:13:40.720 it's essentially done. Half of the Raw crew is gonna 0:13:40.720 --> 0:13:43.199 be on SmackDown Friday. Cody's gonna be there. I think 0:13:43.200 --> 0:13:45.840 Seth is gonna be there. They're just doing whatever and 0:13:45.880 --> 0:13:48.280 it makes for a better show, as we mentioned a 0:13:48.320 --> 0:13:52.680 thousand times. So anyway, uh ended up with the USO's 0:13:52.720 --> 0:13:56.520 walking out on Sammy Zane. So Sammy's aids all by himself. 0:13:56.600 --> 0:13:59.400 One on three, Riddle hits him with the arcado and 0:13:59.440 --> 0:14:02.080 pins him, and they talked about how Riddle has has 0:14:02.120 --> 0:14:07.839 gotten his revenge. It's like he has. Anyway, he won, 0:14:08.000 --> 0:14:12.120 so that was nice. We had the Bobby Lashly Almighty 0:14:12.440 --> 0:14:15.080 Challenge and it was essentially Bobby Lashly coming out. And 0:14:15.240 --> 0:14:19.560 Lashly is not like a great promo, but the thing 0:14:19.680 --> 0:14:23.440 is like, he's a he's a legitimate bad dude, and 0:14:23.480 --> 0:14:26.840 so if the right guy you know, starts you know, 0:14:27.840 --> 0:14:30.880 saying the right things, he's actually pretty good. So he's 0:14:31.040 --> 0:14:34.920 challenged m v P to a match, and if the 0:14:34.960 --> 0:14:38.520 winner gets to choose the stipulations for Lashly versus Omas 0:14:38.960 --> 0:14:41.760 at Helen his cell. So, you know, m VP is 0:14:41.800 --> 0:14:43.640 like he doesn't really want to do the match, and 0:14:43.720 --> 0:14:47.240 so Lashly asks to be scared, and so then m 0:14:47.320 --> 0:14:50.040 v P launched into this pro bout I'm not scared, 0:14:50.120 --> 0:14:53.120 I made you, I'm a former blah blah blah, and 0:14:53.160 --> 0:14:57.200 then Lashly Lashly gets all riled up and he starts 0:14:57.320 --> 0:14:59.640 I'm not kicking your ass tonight. It's actually turned into 0:14:59.640 --> 0:15:02.760 a pretty a promo segment. That was the entire first 0:15:02.760 --> 0:15:04.560 hour of the show. By the way, the whole first 0:15:04.560 --> 0:15:07.680 hour was those two segments. Then the judgment day comes 0:15:07.680 --> 0:15:09.920 out and they stand in the ring for eight minutes 0:15:10.000 --> 0:15:13.160 while they do commercials and backstage interviews with Data Brooke 0:15:13.280 --> 0:15:16.320 and and this and that Becky Lynch. Then they come 0:15:16.320 --> 0:15:18.680 back and they talk for another eight minutes, and so 0:15:18.720 --> 0:15:21.720 after about sixteen minutes, it's finally time for a match. 0:15:21.960 --> 0:15:26.600 What did they talk about, you ask? You know, they 0:15:26.600 --> 0:15:32.000 talked about it's because of the fans. It's the fans fault. 0:15:32.800 --> 0:15:36.640 Eight minutes of it's because of you fans. And it's 0:15:36.680 --> 0:15:39.800 even funnier because they're supposed to be heels and the 0:15:39.840 --> 0:15:44.560 fans supposed to hate them. And the first thing that 0:15:44.560 --> 0:15:50.360 that Damian Priest says is all rise and bro, you 0:15:50.360 --> 0:15:55.280 look in the background and all the fans rise, they rise, 0:15:55.600 --> 0:15:57.920 he says, all rise, and they're like, oh, he told 0:15:57.960 --> 0:16:00.560 us to stand up, and they all stand up and 0:16:00.640 --> 0:16:03.880 part Damian Priest, let's look around and go. I said, 0:16:03.920 --> 0:16:05.760 all right, like they're not listening to me, even though 0:16:05.800 --> 0:16:09.280 they did. These fans, these w w E fans or 0:16:09.320 --> 0:16:12.520 something else nowadays. So anyway, then a match was h 0:16:12.640 --> 0:16:15.600 and Damian Priest versus Live moregan in AJ styles. I 0:16:15.640 --> 0:16:18.240 do like by the way, that my favorite, one of 0:16:18.240 --> 0:16:23.800 my favorite wrestling names in the last decade was Punishment Martinez, 0:16:24.440 --> 0:16:26.760 which was the name of Damian Priest before they changed 0:16:26.800 --> 0:16:30.240 his name, so they can't call him that, but Edge 0:16:30.320 --> 0:16:34.320 repeatedly refers to him as the Punishment, which is awesome. 0:16:34.520 --> 0:16:37.480 So anyway, they had a good match and Edge of 0:16:37.520 --> 0:16:40.960 course interfered multiple times and finally cost Live more than 0:16:41.040 --> 0:16:44.320 the wind Ripley Pinder. And then the baby Faces get 0:16:44.360 --> 0:16:48.200 beaten and then they get beaten up you know heat, 0:16:48.600 --> 0:16:54.120 so they're all killed. We had a miss promo. God 0:16:54.240 --> 0:16:57.680 help me. We had Jerry Lawler's Kink's Court with Vir Mahan. 0:16:57.800 --> 0:17:01.280 Vir Mahan is the biggest, scariest, most imitating guy in storyline. 0:17:01.520 --> 0:17:03.800 So you know, seventy something year old Jerry Lawler goes 0:17:03.800 --> 0:17:05.080 out there. He just tells a bunch of jokes and 0:17:05.119 --> 0:17:07.840 makes fun of the guy. And they did do a 0:17:07.960 --> 0:17:11.120 quick promo with Vier, and then Lawyers was making more 0:17:11.200 --> 0:17:12.840 jokes and now Vier's like, well, I gott I guess 0:17:12.840 --> 0:17:15.360 I gotta kill you now, and so the mysterios run 0:17:15.400 --> 0:17:18.320 out and they clear the ring of vir Mahan. So 0:17:18.359 --> 0:17:21.040 it looks like we're gonna have multiple handicap matches at 0:17:21.040 --> 0:17:22.919 the pay per view, because you know in w W, 0:17:23.119 --> 0:17:24.879 it's like they have forty writers, but they all have 0:17:25.000 --> 0:17:29.080 the same one idea. So you know that's what happens here. 0:17:29.080 --> 0:17:33.320 They are one ideas. Uh, handicap matches. I think we're 0:17:33.320 --> 0:17:35.439 gonna have too at the pay per view. The gimmick 0:17:35.440 --> 0:17:37.200 where you tease a count out and then the guy 0:17:37.240 --> 0:17:39.480 flies in the ring and then immediately gets pinned. We've 0:17:39.520 --> 0:17:42.480 seen that three times in the last two weeks between 0:17:42.560 --> 0:17:45.480 Ron Smackdow. We saw it again on this show. Alexa 0:17:45.560 --> 0:17:50.720 Bliss promo Alexa Blisses. I mean, oh my god, this 0:17:50.800 --> 0:17:54.480 was She's happy to be back. Let's just leave it 0:17:54.520 --> 0:17:58.800 at that. Then we had Alexibly beating nicky Ash. We've 0:17:58.840 --> 0:18:00.880 seen this match, you know, we saw it last week. 0:18:00.880 --> 0:18:05.040 We're seeing it again, the same match she won. Okay, 0:18:06.200 --> 0:18:11.040 third hour, they did the countdown clock for Cody. Cody 0:18:11.080 --> 0:18:15.080 is gonna be showing up nine fifty or whatever, so 0:18:15.720 --> 0:18:17.960 they play his music. He comes down cross going crazy. 0:18:17.960 --> 0:18:20.240 He's gonna get to the ring. They shut the lights 0:18:20.280 --> 0:18:22.639 off and he has stand there for eight minutes because 0:18:23.080 --> 0:18:28.360 we got a commercial Oscar video package Oscar interview. Finally, 0:18:28.400 --> 0:18:30.200 the Miss does his entrance. I don't know if you 0:18:30.240 --> 0:18:34.120 guys are aware of this or not, but Cody's first 0:18:34.160 --> 0:18:38.240 match back was with the Miss and he beat him. Well, 0:18:38.320 --> 0:18:43.600 here we are. I got an idea. Let's just do 0:18:43.680 --> 0:18:47.520 it again. So they do the same match we've already seen. 0:18:48.760 --> 0:18:52.960 Nobody believes the Miss is beating Cody. MS has his 0:18:53.080 --> 0:18:56.320 good days, and he has his days and aren't so good. 0:18:56.680 --> 0:19:01.200 This was one of those days. Boring match misses underwater 0:19:01.760 --> 0:19:05.359 slow motion, and finally Cody goes up top and uh 0:19:06.640 --> 0:19:08.480 and seth Throns comes down and shoves him off the 0:19:08.520 --> 0:19:14.439 top and it's a d Q. Yeah. So he beats 0:19:14.520 --> 0:19:17.680 up Cody. And then earlier Cody had given his weight 0:19:17.720 --> 0:19:20.800 belt to some youngster and so for heat Seth goes 0:19:20.800 --> 0:19:23.480 and steals it back from the youngster. And he goes 0:19:23.560 --> 0:19:26.520 and he just gives It's only one whack, but man, 0:19:26.600 --> 0:19:30.000 he whacked Cody wax him with this belt and leaves 0:19:30.440 --> 0:19:33.400 and then Cody's he's limp in, he's selling his leg 0:19:33.520 --> 0:19:35.879 his backs all messed up, and he goes and he 0:19:35.920 --> 0:19:40.040 gives a belt back to the kid. What a baby face. 0:19:40.119 --> 0:19:43.639 Oh my god. So then you know, talking about matches 0:19:43.680 --> 0:19:49.480 that we've seen before, because you know how many wrestlers 0:19:49.520 --> 0:19:52.600 do they have between two brands. God, I've seen the 0:19:52.680 --> 0:19:56.120 same matches over. I'm losing it now, try and reel 0:19:56.200 --> 0:19:59.760 myself in, reel myself in, Let it go, Come on 0:20:00.040 --> 0:20:04.399 to go. We see Ezekiel and Chad Gable again. This 0:20:04.520 --> 0:20:07.080 is the third match we're seeing again here in the 0:20:07.119 --> 0:20:10.800 last couple of weeks. Last week he was at least 0:20:10.840 --> 0:20:13.560 good because Kevin owns Is on commentary was awesome. It 0:20:13.640 --> 0:20:15.600 was the best thing on the show. Well, this week 0:20:15.600 --> 0:20:18.239 it's w w E. So it's like, well, no one 0:20:18.440 --> 0:20:21.160 was paying attention to the match because of Kevin Owens. 0:20:21.200 --> 0:20:24.479 So he can be there, but he can't talk. So 0:20:24.520 --> 0:20:27.479 he's a ringside, but they don't le him do commentary. 0:20:27.680 --> 0:20:33.159 These blokes, Oh four minutes, nothing happened in match. I 0:20:33.280 --> 0:20:35.600 was begging for them to put the headset on Kevin Owens. 0:20:35.760 --> 0:20:40.119 Kevin Owens like he's off screen, He's like he's lying, 0:20:40.320 --> 0:20:43.800 he's a liar, like turning up the volumes. I could 0:20:43.840 --> 0:20:46.000 only hear Kevin Owens because the only interesting thing about 0:20:46.000 --> 0:20:48.879 this almost in a bad word about this stupid match. 0:20:49.760 --> 0:20:55.760 And then uh, and then you'll never guess. Actually Ezekiel 0:20:55.800 --> 0:20:59.400 pinned him. There was multiple interference, but the referee was 0:20:59.400 --> 0:21:02.800 was fine with it, and then Ezekiel got a cradle 0:21:02.880 --> 0:21:05.760 for the pin. So then Ezekiel bails. Kevin Owens wants 0:21:05.760 --> 0:21:09.800 to match with Ezekiel at Helen his cell and what 0:21:09.960 --> 0:21:13.400 do you do? Cody Rhodes promo where he talked about 0:21:13.440 --> 0:21:18.000 Helen a Cell. M v P versus lashly this match, 0:21:18.119 --> 0:21:20.399 my god, m VP has not wrestling a long time, 0:21:20.440 --> 0:21:22.959 and he's coming off knee surgery and this is one 0:21:22.960 --> 0:21:26.240 of those matches where you know, Jerry Lawler. They'll Jerry 0:21:26.280 --> 0:21:29.280 Lawler do anything. But Jerry Lawler is wrestling like multiple 0:21:29.320 --> 0:21:32.720 matches every week on the Indies, and you know you're thinking, 0:21:32.760 --> 0:21:34.919 well man, and then there you know, like Rick Flaer's 0:21:34.960 --> 0:21:38.400 got his match and everybody's worried about it. Dude, these 0:21:38.440 --> 0:21:41.240 guys went three minutes and I don't think MVP did 0:21:41.280 --> 0:21:43.520 one move in this whole match. He did one running 0:21:43.720 --> 0:21:48.600 They Accuza kick in the corner. He did nothing in 0:21:48.640 --> 0:21:55.920 this match. And finally they're outside and Bobby Lashly and 0:21:56.040 --> 0:21:59.959 Oh Moss start brawling. The refere he's looking right at 0:22:00.040 --> 0:22:03.040 on the outside. There brawling outside the ring. This is 0:22:03.040 --> 0:22:06.680 not a d Q, it's tad. The ref goes, hey nine, 0:22:06.880 --> 0:22:10.400 Taddy counts out Lashly as he's brawling with Omas, who 0:22:10.440 --> 0:22:13.680 is not in the match. So m v P wins. 0:22:14.240 --> 0:22:17.199 He gets to choose the stipulation. It will be a 0:22:17.480 --> 0:22:23.040 handicap match at Helen his Cell. M v P and 0:22:23.160 --> 0:22:27.119 Omas against Lashly at Helen his Cell. And then the 0:22:27.119 --> 0:22:31.000 announcers explained, well, you know they were brawling, but the 0:22:31.040 --> 0:22:34.720 ref never saw Lashly hit Omas. He only saw Omas. 0:22:35.000 --> 0:22:36.400 Oh no, it was the other way around. He never 0:22:36.400 --> 0:22:39.359 saw Omas it Lashly. He only saw lashlet Omas, so 0:22:39.400 --> 0:22:42.040 it wasn't a d Q. It's like, well, that's fine, 0:22:42.080 --> 0:22:46.080 but why are you counting the guy out. Lacey Evans 0:22:46.119 --> 0:22:49.879 returns next week. Then the main event Becky Lynch and Oscar. 0:22:50.560 --> 0:22:53.800 In real life they got eleven minutes, but in your 0:22:53.840 --> 0:22:58.320 life they got six because we had a commercial break 0:22:58.400 --> 0:23:00.400 right in the middle of the match. It's like they 0:23:00.400 --> 0:23:03.040 did the same thing they always do. Bianca does her entrance. 0:23:03.119 --> 0:23:05.280 There's literally twenty one minutes left in the show, so 0:23:05.280 --> 0:23:06.960 they could have had like a really good match, but 0:23:07.080 --> 0:23:11.280 Bianca enters and then they go to commercial, and then 0:23:11.680 --> 0:23:15.280 Oscar that's her entrance, and then Becky has to do 0:23:15.280 --> 0:23:18.320 her entrance and they finally start the match, and then 0:23:18.320 --> 0:23:21.240 they go immediately to commercial and they come back and 0:23:21.280 --> 0:23:25.040 there's six minutes left and boom boom boom boom boom. 0:23:25.080 --> 0:23:27.199 They did the same finish. I was just mocking a 0:23:27.280 --> 0:23:31.320 moment ago Oscar tries to kick Becky, she kicks Bianca. 0:23:31.640 --> 0:23:33.840 Becky tries to throw Oscar into the table, but they 0:23:33.880 --> 0:23:36.639 screw up the spot and Oscar just falls down. Becky 0:23:36.720 --> 0:23:38.480 jumps in the ring and she wants Oscar to get 0:23:38.520 --> 0:23:41.480 counted out. Oscar makes in the ring at the last second, 0:23:42.040 --> 0:23:44.000
