1
00:00:11,280 --> 00:00:11,680
Speaker 1: Lisa.

2
00:00:11,760 --> 00:00:15,000
Speaker 2: Hello, Well, let me cause my ship.

3
00:00:17,640 --> 00:00:24,000
Speaker 1: Well, what was your favorite match from the week. Oh,

4
00:00:24,079 --> 00:00:26,400
Speaker 1: I don't even know if it's gonna work, but we'll see.

5
00:00:29,000 --> 00:00:31,400
Speaker 2: I don't I guess Cody and Darby.

6
00:00:32,240 --> 00:00:35,159
Speaker 1: That that was great. But I'm trying to find like

7
00:00:35,320 --> 00:00:36,920
Speaker 1: a women's match that you liked.

8
00:00:37,760 --> 00:00:40,159
Speaker 2: Yeah, I've been fast forwarding.

9
00:00:42,760 --> 00:00:43,640
Speaker 1: To tell you the truth.

10
00:00:44,159 --> 00:00:47,920
Speaker 3: You know what I'm watching right now? What I was

11
00:00:47,960 --> 00:00:50,519
Speaker 3: watching Big Blue Eyes. But I've also got it on.

12
00:00:50,360 --> 00:00:51,720
Speaker 2: The pitch of w W A.

13
00:00:52,320 --> 00:00:54,160
Speaker 1: Oh where are you watching that at?

14
00:00:54,640 --> 00:01:02,480
Speaker 2: This is well if if two I don't know what

15
00:01:02,520 --> 00:01:06,520
Speaker 2: that means, okay, And it's.

16
00:01:06,400 --> 00:01:10,839
Speaker 3: A collection of highlights on triple h oh. And then

17
00:01:11,040 --> 00:01:12,760
Speaker 3: the next one is the Undertaker.

18
00:01:13,080 --> 00:01:14,440
Speaker 1: Oh wow, cool.

19
00:01:14,520 --> 00:01:16,319
Speaker 2: And then the next one is Shawn Michael.

20
00:01:17,440 --> 00:01:19,640
Speaker 1: Whoa, that's awesome.

21
00:01:20,240 --> 00:01:21,400
Speaker 2: So it's pretty good.

22
00:01:21,920 --> 00:01:25,720
Speaker 1: Yeah cool, okay.

23
00:01:24,840 --> 00:01:30,040
Speaker 3: So anyways, but how would I record it?

24
00:01:30,480 --> 00:01:32,559
Speaker 1: Well, I'm recording right now. I was going to see

25
00:01:32,560 --> 00:01:39,840
Speaker 1: what it sounded like after Oh later, Hey Gane, Welcome

26
00:01:39,840 --> 00:01:42,920
Speaker 1: to your weekly Joseph Escape from Reality. I am one

27
00:01:42,920 --> 00:01:46,360
Speaker 1: of your hosts, Lena Harryton from Bell's Lebral, here to

28
00:01:46,400 --> 00:01:49,480
Speaker 1: brief you on this week's events, mostly ones leading up

29
00:01:49,480 --> 00:01:52,559
Speaker 1: to Money in the Bank, which is Sunday, May tenth

30
00:01:52,560 --> 00:01:57,800
Speaker 1: at WWE's corporate headquarters in Connecticut, with matches beginning on

31
00:01:57,840 --> 00:02:03,240
Speaker 1: the ground floor with the briefcases on the rooftop. Very

32
00:02:03,360 --> 00:02:05,920
Speaker 1: much looking forward to that. That is going to be

33
00:02:06,120 --> 00:02:08,840
Speaker 1: very interesting and so far in the women's matches, we

34
00:02:08,960 --> 00:02:15,600
Speaker 1: have Oska, Shana Basler, Nya Jacks, Dana Brook, Lacey Evans,

35
00:02:15,760 --> 00:02:20,960
Speaker 1: and what's one last entrant to be determined today when

36
00:02:20,960 --> 00:02:25,040
Speaker 1: you're listening to this or actually tonight. May First, we

37
00:02:25,120 --> 00:02:31,240
Speaker 1: have Mandy Rose versus Carmela. Should be very interesting. I

38
00:02:31,240 --> 00:02:33,960
Speaker 1: have to say I'm going for Mandy Rose because I

39
00:02:34,040 --> 00:02:37,960
Speaker 1: love her, but you know Mela, Mela is money. She

40
00:02:38,080 --> 00:02:42,120
Speaker 1: has one Money in the bank before, so she's got

41
00:02:42,160 --> 00:02:45,760
Speaker 1: a good chance. But I think for to make a

42
00:02:45,800 --> 00:02:48,880
Speaker 1: little more interesting, Mandy Roe should win. Also at Money

43
00:02:48,919 --> 00:02:53,160
Speaker 1: in the Bank, we'll have Bailey versus Tempina, so we'll

44
00:02:53,160 --> 00:02:57,520
Speaker 1: see what happens with that. Speaking of SmackDown, last week,

45
00:02:57,639 --> 00:03:01,919
Speaker 1: we had Lacey Evans versus Sasha Banks. They've both been

46
00:03:02,040 --> 00:03:05,519
Speaker 1: feuding for a while now, so this was an interesting

47
00:03:05,600 --> 00:03:10,520
Speaker 1: match and Lacey was pretty brutal this time around, so

48
00:03:10,720 --> 00:03:16,400
Speaker 1: it's cool to see that side of her until Bailey

49
00:03:16,600 --> 00:03:23,799
Speaker 1: accidentally distracted Sasha, giving Lacey the win. And then we've

50
00:03:23,840 --> 00:03:27,440
Speaker 1: got Tamina that came out and kind of beat up Bailey.

51
00:03:27,639 --> 00:03:32,840
Speaker 1: So there's that that happened. That's a thing. And we

52
00:03:32,919 --> 00:03:37,880
Speaker 1: also saw Alexa and Nicki versus Carmela and Dana Brook

53
00:03:38,000 --> 00:03:42,480
Speaker 1: which was a very short match, and of course the

54
00:03:43,320 --> 00:03:48,760
Speaker 1: tag team titles were held by Alexa and Nikki, and

55
00:03:48,800 --> 00:03:52,680
Speaker 1: this gives Carmela and Dana a chance to focus more

56
00:03:52,760 --> 00:03:56,160
Speaker 1: on money in the bank. Interesting duo. I like them

57
00:03:56,160 --> 00:04:01,240
Speaker 1: as a tag team, but we'll see how this progresses

58
00:04:01,320 --> 00:04:05,400
Speaker 1: as time goes on. So yeah, that was SmackDown Raw.

59
00:04:05,600 --> 00:04:12,200
Speaker 1: We saw Shana versus Osca versus Nya Jacks. That was

60
00:04:12,440 --> 00:04:14,960
Speaker 1: a little bit of an almost street fight. I guess

61
00:04:15,000 --> 00:04:17,240
Speaker 1: you could call it. It was more of a fight

62
00:04:17,320 --> 00:04:21,400
Speaker 1: than wrestling. Didn't last very long. I guess you could

63
00:04:21,440 --> 00:04:25,040
Speaker 1: say Nya won that match. I don't I don't even

64
00:04:25,080 --> 00:04:29,560
Speaker 1: know if I heard a bell ring, but that was

65
00:04:30,120 --> 00:04:34,000
Speaker 1: interesting with the ladders and whatnot. And we also saw

66
00:04:34,160 --> 00:04:42,360
Speaker 1: liv Morgan versus Ruby Riot another rematch, and I don't know,

67
00:04:42,480 --> 00:04:46,279
Speaker 1: I'm over that feud. I don't know about you guys,

68
00:04:46,960 --> 00:04:50,200
Speaker 1: but I'm ready to see what Ruby's gonna do on

69
00:04:50,240 --> 00:04:52,800
Speaker 1: her own? What's Live gonna do on her own? I mean,

70
00:04:52,920 --> 00:04:55,560
Speaker 1: I have to say I'm a big fan of Lift Morgan.

71
00:04:55,680 --> 00:04:59,800
Speaker 1: I think over time she has really shown her talent.

72
00:05:01,720 --> 00:05:07,240
Speaker 1: Her moves in the ring have greatly improved. So I

73
00:05:07,279 --> 00:05:09,279
Speaker 1: am very interested to see where we go from here.

74
00:05:09,400 --> 00:05:13,080
Speaker 1: Live actually won that match. I do like Ruby Wright

75
00:05:13,160 --> 00:05:17,880
Speaker 1: as well, but I'm just excited about the potential for

76
00:05:18,000 --> 00:05:21,479
Speaker 1: Live Morgan, so we guess she I'll see what happens

77
00:05:21,560 --> 00:05:27,640
Speaker 1: with that. Also from WWE n XT, we saw Candace

78
00:05:27,800 --> 00:05:34,120
Speaker 1: Theret versus Casey Katazorro Kittain Zorro. I know, I'm sorry,

79
00:05:34,160 --> 00:05:40,520
Speaker 1: I'm probably butchering her last name. I'm really digging Candace's

80
00:05:40,600 --> 00:05:46,560
Speaker 1: new look. You know, she's turned heel. Her husband, Johnny Gargano,

81
00:05:46,680 --> 00:05:49,599
Speaker 1: came out behind her introduced her to the ring. I

82
00:05:49,600 --> 00:05:54,720
Speaker 1: thought that was pretty entertaining, kind of kind of made you, h,

83
00:05:55,839 --> 00:05:57,520
Speaker 1: you know, like them a lot more. Not that I

84
00:05:57,560 --> 00:06:01,400
Speaker 1: didn't like them, but like now they're doing things together.

85
00:06:01,800 --> 00:06:05,040
Speaker 1: I think that's a lot of fun. Her look is cool,

86
00:06:05,560 --> 00:06:11,160
Speaker 1: the colored hair, she's not smiling, that's cool. And her

87
00:06:11,279 --> 00:06:17,080
Speaker 1: new finishing move, the wicked stepsister. Now that's a cool

88
00:06:17,160 --> 00:06:20,240
Speaker 1: name for a finishing move, and it is pretty brutal,

89
00:06:20,520 --> 00:06:23,440
Speaker 1: which is how she won the match with the weakest stepsister.

90
00:06:25,600 --> 00:06:29,159
Speaker 1: So yeah, excited to see where her little heel turn

91
00:06:29,240 --> 00:06:31,919
Speaker 1: is gonna take her. You know, no longer a baby face.

92
00:06:32,080 --> 00:06:34,400
Speaker 1: That's okay. I think it's fun to be the bad

93
00:06:34,440 --> 00:06:35,360
Speaker 1: guy every now and then.

94
00:06:36,880 --> 00:06:40,360
Speaker 4: This episode is sponsored by Ladder. Hey, it's battle and

95
00:06:40,400 --> 00:06:41,839
Speaker 4: I want to talk to you about Ladder. Did you

96
00:06:41,880 --> 00:06:44,520

98
00:06:48,520 --> 00:06:50,800

Speaker 1: Flair in the ring against Mia Yim and what a

00:08:02,160 --> 00:08:06,360
Speaker 1: match it was. And I would like to encourage you

122
00:08:06,720 --> 00:08:13,280
Speaker 1: to go to Tiger Driver's Twitter page to see the

123
00:08:13,320 --> 00:08:18,320
Speaker 1: best of Mia ym video that they posted and it

124
00:08:18,400 --> 00:08:22,200
Speaker 1: was just awesome because some of us might not know

125
00:08:22,440 --> 00:08:27,360
Speaker 1: the background on some of the NXT folks, and Mia

126
00:08:27,720 --> 00:08:30,960
Speaker 1: has been around a while, she is a force to

127
00:08:30,960 --> 00:08:34,640
Speaker 1: be reckon with, So definitely check that out Tiger Driver

128
00:08:34,960 --> 00:08:39,600
Speaker 1: on Twitter. And the Queen of course won and held

129
00:08:39,640 --> 00:08:45,120
Speaker 1: her title. So next week what we have been looking

130
00:08:45,160 --> 00:08:49,160
Speaker 1: forward to since I guess the quote unquote takeover show

131
00:08:49,320 --> 00:08:55,080
Speaker 1: from NXT is Charlotte versus Low Sharry and it is

132
00:08:55,280 --> 00:08:59,000
Speaker 1: going down. I am so excited. Next Wednesday, I will

133
00:08:59,040 --> 00:09:05,200
Speaker 1: be there, so we'll have the debut of Scarlet Bordeaux.

134
00:09:06,400 --> 00:09:10,040
Speaker 1: I don't know much about her, but this is has

135
00:09:10,080 --> 00:09:14,160
Speaker 1: been very anticipated for a while, so looking forward to that.

136
00:09:15,760 --> 00:09:23,360
Speaker 1: Aw Aw, we didn't see any wrestling, women's wrestling. I'm

137
00:09:23,400 --> 00:09:27,800
Speaker 1: not shocked. That's okay, not even on Dark. But they

138
00:09:27,800 --> 00:09:30,720
Speaker 1: do have a little tournament going on. Hopefully we'll see

139
00:09:30,800 --> 00:09:35,920
Speaker 1: maybe a women's tournament. I'm just saying, but I absolutely

140
00:09:36,040 --> 00:09:41,120
Speaker 1: adored the Britt Baker promo, or I should say the

141
00:09:41,160 --> 00:09:44,480
Speaker 1: promos they've been doing of how to be a role

142
00:09:44,520 --> 00:09:49,520
Speaker 1: model with Britt Baker. It's hilarious. It makes me love

143
00:09:49,559 --> 00:09:54,679
Speaker 1: Britt Baker that much more. Shout out to Rebel or

144
00:09:54,800 --> 00:09:59,560
Speaker 1: as Britt calls her Reva, that does her makeup such

145
00:09:59,559 --> 00:10:02,480
Speaker 1: a good but I hope they keep that up because

146
00:10:02,559 --> 00:10:08,560
Speaker 1: it's just it's just wonderful and just very entertaining. All right,

147
00:10:09,920 --> 00:10:15,640
Speaker 1: Impact over the week had rebellion nights one and two. Well,

148
00:10:15,720 --> 00:10:18,160
Speaker 1: I guess that wasn't over the week Night two happened

149
00:10:18,160 --> 00:10:22,640
Speaker 1: this past week and we saw Rosemary versus Havoc in

150
00:10:22,720 --> 00:10:28,880
Speaker 1: a full metal Mayhem match. Whoa you guys, if you

151
00:10:29,000 --> 00:10:32,560
Speaker 1: have not seen this, get on YouTube and watch it now.

152
00:10:33,120 --> 00:10:35,679
Speaker 1: All I'm gonna say is there is a stapler involved

153
00:10:36,600 --> 00:10:42,240
Speaker 1: and it looked painful. But I tell you that I

154
00:10:42,320 --> 00:10:45,200
Speaker 1: don't watch a lot of impact, but I would like

155
00:10:45,280 --> 00:10:51,400
Speaker 1: to after seeing this because Rosemary is creepy. For all

156
00:10:51,400 --> 00:10:57,240
