Tonight was night number one of the twenty twenty three WWE Draft and the first draft under Triple age. What moves would he make to shake up the WWE roster? He talked about this draft shaking up the very foundation of the entire company. All talent eligible from Raw and SmackDown, divide it up into two pools, one tonight one coming up on Raw this Monday night. NXT talent also eligible to be drafted, and we did get some NXT talent drafted.
Now that Night one is in the books, I will say SmackDown tonight was in Corpse's Christie, but I may have to start calling it Corpus Christie again because it was actually I thought, a pretty good crowd. You know, you guys are gonna kill your gimmick if you keep making noise like this. But SmackDown was in Corpus Christie tonight, and I was trying to think of a word, a good word that I would want to use to sum up Night one of this draft, and the word I kept coming back to was
baffling. There were some baffling moves on this show tonight as far as the draft is concerned. What they did with Cody for one, what they did with their women's champions, both on the main roster and on NXT. You know when Shawn Michaels came out in the fourth round of the draft tonight to announce the picks, and he was talking about how unhappy he was, I'm
not very happy to make this announcement. He wasn't working you. I am sure that Shawn Michaels was not very pleased with some of the moves that were made and some of the people he lost in the draft tonight. But just some baffling moves. And then when I hear Triple H come out and I hear some of the other presenters come out and they're talking about Raw selects and SmackDown selects. Yeah, we have the the NFL draft is ongoing right now. You hear them say, you know, with the fourth pick in the
draft, you know such and such teams selects. They're trying to make it out to be like a real draft. The only problem is who exactly is doing the selecting. It's just goofy. Raw has no general manager, SmackDown has no general manager, So who exactly is doing the selecting in these drafts? Adam Pierce is the de facto authority figure on this show. I guess
it's supposed to be him where we don't know. We don't know. Actually, this would have been a great opportunity for them to reintroduce authority figures for each show if they're going to do a hard brand split, but they didn't do that. They said instead that so and so was selected depending on what show they went to. But I'm going to go through these moves one by one instead of sort of outlining them all here at the beginning. There were
a few of them that were more baffling than others. There were other moves that I think are going to be a big benefit to raw, and I think there were other moves that we're going to be a big benefit to smack down. There was some moves that I liked, There were some moves that you know, I outlined in my mock draft, and there were many that didn't happen. We're going to go through all of that. But there was also a baffling announcement to accompany some of these baffling draft picks that we had
on this show tonight. It was a baffling announcement with regard to the new consolation belt that was introduced on Raw Monday Night, which some people are calling
Many Big Gold. They made an announcement, the announcers did on the show tonight, and they made it very clear that this new championship will be on Monday Night Raw because the reigning champion, Roman Reigns, has been drafted to SmackDown, So Roman is going to be staying put and whatever brand Roman Reigns is not on, the new belt will be on the other brand that means Monday Night Raw. So they made that very clear. But then Wade Barrett
made a very confusing announcement. He said that top stars from Raw and SmackDown. In terms of how are they going to determine this new champion, There's going to be a tournament. Top stars from Raw and SmackDown will battle it out in a tournament, the final of which will take place at Night of Champions, which of course is taking place on May twenty seventh in Saudi Arabia. We already knew that, we knew a new champion was going to be
crowned at Night of Champions. That's not the surprise. What surprising is that if the new title is brand exclusive, if the title is going to be exclusive to Monday Night Raw and the draft ends on Monday, So clearly, this tournament is not going to start until after the draft is already over and we know where everybody is. Then why do we have Raw and SmackDown stars in a tournament for a raw championship. They made that very clear that this
title is going to be and specific. Even if a SmackDown talent is in the tournament and doesn't go on to win the championship, that would mean that over the course of the next month, as this tournament plays itself value, you're going to have SmackDown talent potentially crossing over. You're gonna have talent crossing brands, which defeats the entire purpose of this draft that we are in the
middle of sitting through. Every time they do one of these drafts, we hope and people say, well, you know, if they take it seriously, if it's treated like a real draft, if they if they do what they did in the early days of the draft, they're not That's the point. They just introduced a new title not even a week ago and told us that it's going to be raw specific tonight, and they're talking about Raw and
SmackDown talent in the tournament. I don't understand it now. I have to m it's because they're looking at the talent pool that's available to them and they want to have their options open. They want to have access to some of those talents that are currently on SmackDown. And the idea has to be that if a SmackDown talent were to go on to win this tournament, that they would automatically be flipped back over to Monday Night Raw. It has to be.
It can't be any other way. So I assume that is going to be the logic here with this tournament. But just the fact that they would even say that you're having a tournament for this Raw belt with Raw SmackDown talent at a time when you're doing a draft, as if the draft is supposed to mean anything. This is what I'm always talking about. This is why you can't take this shit seriously. Doesn't make any sense anyway. We're gonna talk about this, We're gonna go through all of the moves. We're gonna
go through every single round of this draft. I'm gonna give you my thoughts on the picks and you'll see them also scrolling here on the bottom of your screen. But we also had a WrestleMania made event tonight for the second time.
Night one of WrestleMania had the undisputed tag team titles on the line, the USOS defending against Kevin Owens and Sammy Zane, and tonight was the rematch, and the story coming out of this match is that Roman Rains would not be very happy with the USOS if they did not deliver, if they did not win back the tag team championships. Well, the USOS did not win back the tag team Championships. In fact, the plan that the Bloodline had Solo Skoo was coming out. What was he coming out to do? Was
he coming out to excommunicate the USOS from the Bloodline. We'll never know because he got cut off by Matt Riddle. Kevin Owens and Sammy Zane are still your tag team champions and now going into Raw this Monday, there is blood Line drama. Not that Roman Rains is going to be on the show. He wasn't on the show tonight either. I don't think he's going to be on the show on Monday. Brock Lesner will be there. If Roman Rains was going to be there, they would have told us. So whatever may
end up happening, Roman will not be there in the flesh. But it's not looking good for Jimmy and jay Usso after what happened at the end of the show tonight, this is your WWE Draft Night one recap and your WWE SmackDown review here for Friday, April twenty eighth, two thousand and twenty three. I am the solom Monster. Thank you so much for choosing me for your Draft Night coverage. I do appreciate you hanging out with me here on a very rainy, very wet Friday night here in New York. It's going
to be a washout all weekend. The rain is coming down outside, but it's nice and cool in here. That's why I got my hoodie back on. It's not quite summer whether yet here in New York. Super chats are open. You see one right there on your screen. Thank you to everybody so far who was sent in super chats. Let me know what you thought of these draft picks tonight, because I'm gonna be telling you what I think of this draft. I want to hear from you. What do you think

Hit the light button as well, because we need five hundred likes on this video to do be the booker. That's the goal for tonight. If we hit five hundred, we will do that later on in the stream. And of course you can become a channel member. Channel memberships are open Bobby's world. Thank you.
He just gifted a new channel membership to somebody. You can become a channel member. You can gift channel memberships to other people randomly here on the channel. Whatever you choose to do, I say thank you for that. So Triple H his very first draft officially, of course, we all know that Triple Ah ain't the one really pulling the strings here, but Triple H's first draft as the head of creative in WWE. The chief Content Officer came out
on stage to open the show up tonight. He was out to the podium to welcome us to night number one of the WWE Draft and for mister Dynamite to the chat, who was wondering if they're going to split tag Team titles, or if there was any indication of them doing so. There was no indication whatsoever. I have no idea if they have any plans in mind to
split the tag team titles. I have already said I would not split the tag team titles because the tag team division in WWE I don't believe is strong enough to be split in half and to sustain two different sets of tag team titles. I support keeping them unified until they call up more teams or create more teams. Ricochet and braun Strowman right, mush together. They're developing into
a good team, right, but they're still fairly new. You've got them, You've got the Viking Raiders, You've got the Street Profits, You've got Alpha Academy. After that, it gets very fuzzy. Obviously, you have the USOS, you have Zane and Owens. That's not a bad division, But then you're talking about cutting it in half and having two sets of tag belts defended independently. I just don't think the division is strong enough for it. So if it were up to me for now, I'd keep the belts
together. But no, there was no indication about them splitting those titles or any titles, but triple as you laid down the ground rules here at the very beginning. He explained that fifty percent of their roster will be drafted tonight, with the other half to be drafted on Raw this Monday. In addition, select superstars from NXT are also eligible to be drafted to either brand. The post draft rosters officially will go into effect on Monday May eighth, that
is, the Monday following the Backlash pay per view next weekend. So he said it's time to shake things up. With the first four picks of round number one, the first pick goes to SmackDown and they select. All three drafted is one Paul Hayman. I love, By the way, the first name mentioned in the WWE draft. Technically the first name drafted was not a wrestler. It was Paul Hayman, but that's how valuable he is to this company. Paul Hayman is a very valuable asset for any company to have.
I might draft him first. If if it were my roster, I might take Paul Hayman on my brand first. Paul Hayman, Solo Sakoa and the undisputed WWWE Universal Champion Roman Reigns the bloodline. Noose surprise there, other than the fact that they left the usos out and usso's are going to be drafted separately. We don't know where they're going to end up, but they were not counted as part of the blood line, So that was the only surprise.
I mean, we already knew that from the eligible pools that were released a few days ago, but that was the only real surprising element of this. It had to be Roman. I mean, how again, there's no GMS, so the whole concept of picking Roman first is just fucking goofy as all hell. But let's pretend right that there are people on one side and people on the other side who are actually doing this draft. How do you not pick Roman Reigns first. Roman Reigns is the most dominant champion this company
has seen in decades. He is the number one man in the company. He is the number one man in the business in terms of his position. How do you not draft him first? Right? That should have been a gimme, So no big surprise there. Triple H said that that means that the new World heavyweight title will be exclusive to Monday Night row and given their loss tonight in the main event. We may be getting Roman Reigns and Solo Succoa turning on the Ussos next week for losing that match. The USOS maybe
at least temporarily exiled from the bloodline. They could get back in if they get exiled to Monday Night Raw. They could get back in by getting another match and winning the tag team titles back, because so long as the belts are unified, the champions can float. So well, we'll see how that angle plays out next week. Speaking of Raw, Oh, there's Paul Haymon. There we go, there's our number one draft pick on screen. Hey, James Fishwick guitar with the twelve dollars super JAT. I like that,
James Fishwick guitar, Paul Hayman, super Jat. So Raw their first pick tonight, and look, I'll say it makes sense if this was a legitimate draft, if somebody got Roman Reigns first, I would pick this guy second. The American Nightmare Cody Rhodes goes to Monday Night Raw. So they have separated Roman and Cody Rhodes. They have drafted them to separate brands, which means theoretically that Cody Rhodes, who right now is occupied with Brock Lesner,
But as far as we know, it's just the one matchic backlash. Their program could very well be over after next weekend. All eyes then are going to be on Night of champions All eyes are going to be on this tournament. You drafted Cody Rhodes as your number one draft pick on Monday Night Raw, not Seth Rollins, not Bobby Lashley, not aj Styles, not anybody else, Cody Rhodes, and you have this new championship on Raw. How does Cody Rhodes not be entered into or try to qualify for this tournament.
Of course, he's going to be involved in some way. He may not win, but he's got to be involved. It doesn't make any sense for him not to be. If he's your number one guy on the show, why wouldn't he go for this new championship? So automatically, if Cody Rhodes is going to be challenging for this title, it's exactly like I said that on Monday. It becomes a participation trophy for him more so than anybody else on that roster. It is a participation trophy if Cody Rhodes goes after that
title. Because Cody Rhodes is the one who tried to take down Roman Reigns at WrestleMania and finish the story and he failed. And if they have him in this tournament, which they really should, if you think about it, that's exactly how people are going to see it, and that's exactly what it is. They're seeing it for what it is, and that's the element about
this that I didn't like. This completely unnecessary championship. I mean, that ship has sailed already, could have, would have, should have at WrestleMania. But again for Cody more than any other member of the roster, that's exactly what it is. It's a consolation prize. And if they do that, let's just say they put that title on Cody. I don't think they will. I don't think they should. I don't think they will, But if they did, that would be fucking awful. You know what else would
be awful. They did say that raw and SmackDown talent would be involved in this tournament. I put nothing past these people. We may get Roman Reins in this tournament. Maybe Roman Rains will go all the way to Night of Champions in Saudi Arabia and he'll win the World heavyweight title, and he'll unify all three. Why not at this point, just give him all the belts. He'll be the new belt collector. You don't think there's at least a
minute chance that they might not do that. Have Roman Rains go just to troll everybody, Have Roman Rains go Tonight of Champions and win the World Heavyweight Championship. You got, you gotta at least leave that open as a possibility. I certainly hope that Triple H is not that stupid to put that title, even if he's going to wrestle in the tournament, to actually put that
title on Cody Roads, I certainly hope he's not that dumb. Now, there was a report out today there was something from wrestle Votes that WWE is still very much considering the possibility of doing a rematch at WrestleMania forty in Philadelphia next year with Roman Reigns and Cody Rhodes and saving the rematch for WrestleMania in twenty twenty four. Now, I don't know about you. I think that is a ridiculous idea. Just the idea of keeping the title on Roman for
another full year just completely fucking ridiculous. But if they're going to do that, then it makes sense why they would want to keep them apart and just draft them to different brands. You would have Cody win the Royal Rumble for the second straight year. He can then choose the champion he wants, the face, he picks Roman Reins, and you've got your WrestleMania main events set up. That's a year away. A lot of things can happen in a year. A lot of bad things can happen in a year, not just
with injuries people. You know, the fans, they cool off uncertain people. Where the company cools off certain people, somebody else gets hot. Look what happened with Sammy Zane when Cody got hurt and he went away, and for months there was all of this debate about, well, maybe Sammy should be the guy, and people are gonna boo Cody when he gets back because nobody expected Sammy Zane to get as hot and as over as he did.
A lot can happen in a year, and when you have a story that is staring you right in the face, sometimes you have to just take your shot right instead of putting it off and putting it off and dragging it out and dragging it out. There are times where you go a little too far and you miss your moment, and I certainly hope that hasn't already happened with Cody. So that's one possibility. They're gonna wait a year, Cody wins the Rumbull, he goes to Mania next year and finishes the story. That's
one possibility. I hope that's not the case. There is another possibility here. They've drafted these two men to different brands, right, there is a pay per view coming up. There was actually a pretty big pay per view coming up in July in London at the O two Arena called Money in the Bank. I could see Cody Rhodes going to Money in the Bank winning the briefcase. It's funny because I was in Philadelphia, of all places, in twenty thirteen when Cody was in a Money in the Bank match and he should
have won that match and they took it away from him. But this year and Money in the Bank ten years later, you believe that ten years, ten years later, Cody goes to Money in the Bank, he wins the briefcase, he gets to pick the champion he wants to defend against. I don't even remember if that's the rule for money in the bank, it doesn't matter. You can change the rules, right. It's certainly not the first time that this company would have changed the rules. Cody wins the briefcase.
He says, I choose Roman, and you do Cody Rhodes challenging Roman Reigns at Summer at Ford Field in August for the championship. You don't wait a year, you do it at Summer Slam. That is what wwe should do the way things have now fallen, with the brand split and the roster split and the draft picks. Cody goes to Money in the Bank, he wins, He goes to Summer Slam, and he finishes the story at ford Field.
That is the way to go. As far as Cody Rhodes is concerned, that is the move that I would make with him after what they did here tonight. We do not need another year of Roman Reigns as the champion. I don't care about what records they want him to break. He's going to hit a thousand days in a month. Congratulations will throw him a fucking balloon party. That's great. We'll have balloon animals and everything. We don't need Roman Reigns to go another year as the champion. Cody Rhodes has far
more challengers and potential challengers as the champion than Roman Reigns does. It's a much shorter list with Roman. If you're looking for fresh, new, credible
opponents for him. With Cody, disguy's the limit. You got tons of choices for Cody, whether it's Drew McIntyre, whether it's Seth Rollins, whether it's goun There, whether it's Shamus, Whether I mean, you can build up fucking La Night if he ends up on the same brand with Cody, Randy Orton, if and when he ever comes back, plenty of different possibility solo socoa. It's a far shorter list with Roman Reigns. I just outlined at least probably a year, year and a half's worth of talent right there
that Cody could be programmed with. We don't have to wait a fucking year just to get the belt on him. So he was the second pick. With the third pick of the first round of Fish Drafts, SmackDown selects the Raw Women's champion. They have done it again. They have blown up the champions. Raw Women's champion, Bianca Belair has gone to SmackDown. That was a surprise. They absolutely should not do another belt swap. We know how the last belt swap went. We don't need to have that again. The
belt swap has always been a stupid concept. Anyway, give me your blue belt, I'll give you my red belt. I mean, it doesn't get any dumber than that. And the last one didn't go too well. We don't need another belt swap. But unfortunately it looks like that's where we're headed now. I thought that, okay, maybe that means Bianca is gonna lose it backlash, and if she drops her championship backlash, that takes care of that problem. But then we found out later on in the show that it's
all a moot point anyway, and we'll talk about why later on. You can pretty much figure out what I mean by that, So that possibility now is off the table. The best thing to do would have been, frankly, to have the O sky beeat Bianca backlash, and that would solve that problem. And well that's pretty much out the window now, So we'll know on Monday. We can see where this is going. We'll know on Monday based on what they do with Ria Ripley, who is not eligible to be
drafted tonight. How things are going to play out and if they're just gonna do a belt swap. And with the fourth pick of the first round here of this draft, Monday Night Raw selects the man Becky Lynch. Becky Lynch will remain on Monday Night Raw. And where Becky goes, you know, so goes Seth Rollins. Not eligible to be drafted until Monday. But whatever brand Becky Lynch is on, you can bet your bottom dollar that's where Seth
Rollins is gonna end up. And with that new title on Raw, it's the only place for him that makes sense anyway, makes all the sense in the world for Seth Rollins to stay right where he is, although we won't know for sure until Monday. So then Triple H with the conclusion here of round one, introduced the former tag team champions, the usso's out on stage. They came out, they dedicated their victory in the main event to the
tribal chief, Roman Reigns, Sammy's Ain and Kevin Owens walked out. Sammy said that he wasn't there to try to talk sense into them, but he had a question. He asked them if they thought that it was strange that Roman had not said a word to them since WrestleMania. They have not been able to get Roman on the phone. They have not seen their cousin. There's been no communication. Paul Hayman has been the conduit between both parties,
but they haven't spoken to Roman Red. It's kind of hard to speak to Roman Reigns when Roman Rains doesn't come to work. So Sammy thought that was a little weird. He asked if they also noticed that they aren't being drafted tonight as part of the Bloodline. Roman got drafted with Solo and Paul Hayman, but not the USOS. He said that they would walk out as the tag team champions. Jay said that they would walk out with nothing, and Jimmy added that Ko would turn on Sammy when it was over. Owen said
that he didn't care what happened to them. He didn't care about what they thought. All that's going to happen tonight is they're gonna walk out still the tag team champions. And so ended the opening segment of the show. We had Pete Dune still going by, Butch, you know, Madcap Moss got his name back. He's now Riddick Moss again. So I'm waiting for a Butch to revert back to Pete done, Pete done against La Knight. Solid
match here from these two. I enjoyed this. They were chanting the man's name in Corpus Christie tonight, as most of these crowds have been doing. They have been chanting for l A Night. Are they listening? I think they might be because he actually got a win tonight. I was shocked. It was a great spot where La Knight did a leap up to the top rope and one leap deliberty, gigantic, superplexed the fans like that. Butch
avoided Knight's blunt force trauma finish and then he applied an armbar. L A Knight fought to the ropes for a rope break and then quickly nailed blunt force trauma and got a big pop for the winning pinfalls. There you go, a win for La Night. Step in the right direction. Now we wait to see where he's going to be drafted. If it were me, he ends up on the red brand, away from Roman Reigns and all these people that he would never have a chance against. Move him over to the Raw
brand. That New World Heavyweight Championship. That's something that he should be involved with. Can I have a tournament on that show? He should be part of that tournament. In the back, we're in the Bloodline locker room and the USOS are hyping themselves up for the main event. Paul Hammett is helping them out. He's given them at a little pep talk here from PAULI reminding them that they do get drafted tonight. People think they're not eligible to be
drafted tonight, they are. They are getting drafted tonight. They're either getting drafted to the island of relevancy or they're getting drafted to the ocean of irrelevance. Said tonight, the USO's come back as the tag team champions because one way or another, Tonight is the night. And that last line that Hayman delivered, he delivered. Now you got a picture it. The USOS are sitting on a couch right backs turned. Paul Hayman is standing behind them.
Solo Sakoa is standing next to Paul Hayman. When Paul Hayman delivers that last line, Tonight is the night. He's staring at Solo Sako when he delivers that line, and Solo begins to tape up his thumb for the Samoan spike. He's wrapping the tape around his thumb, and the usos were sitting on the couch in front of them, so they were completely oblivious to any of us. After that segment, they cut to the back to show of all people walking out of an office with the Monday Night Raw logo on the door.
Rob Van Damn And it is kind of appropriate that Paul Hayman was in the previous segment because when RVD walked and I'm not insinuating he's gained weight or anything like that, but he has the ponytail like Hayman used to have. He had a suit on. When RVD came walking out of that office, I saw a little Paul Hayman in there. I say, hey, it looks a little like Paul Hayman years ago. There he is Rob Van dan talk about random. He had a placard in his hand with the names of
the folks that were being drafted to Raw. In the second round. Then they cut to a different part of the building. Michael Hayes walked out of a SmackDown locker room with his card. We were told there were two of our guest presenters, that they had guest presenters for the second, third, and fourth round on the show tonight, and they came out after the break
to commence round number two of the draft. Michael Hayes went first, and he announced that the first pick of the second round, SmackDown picks montez Ford and Angelo Dawkins, the Street Profits who have been drafted together. Which, if you're Angelo Dawkins, you're wiping your brow and breathing a sigh of relief
that they're keeping the Street Profits together. My first reaction when Michael Hayes comes out, this is the first pick of the second round of this draft, right, still early in this draft, and they announced the Street Profits and I'm just thinking, how do you and again who's picking, but how do you select the Street Profits as the first pick in the second round of this draft when you still have people who are eligible to be drafted, like Drew
McIntyre and Bobby Lashley, right, I mean two former World champions Drew McIntyre and Bobby Lashley have not yet been drafted. How do you draft the Street Profits as the first pick of the second round just was very busy, are to me, But as far as the landing spot, at least for montez Forward, same with you know, Becky and I'm sure Seth. Come Monday, you had to know wherever Bianca bell Air goes, so goes montez Ford. So if they were not going to split the street profits, you knew
they were going to end up on SmackDown. And that's exactly what happened. So then it was rvd s turn, and RVD announced that Raw selects Gunther, Ludvig Kaiser, and Giovanni Vinci, the entire trio of Imperium has been drafted to Monday Night Raw. That move brings the Intercontinental Championship back to Raw, I believe for the first time in about four years. I believe brings
the title over there. And I like that move a lot. I had Gunther an Imperium in my mock draft that I did you know on the podcast moving to Monday Night Raw. I just like, now we have to wait
and see how the draft plays out on Monday. But the way things stand, I just like the idea of Gunther going over, getting a change of scenery, getting a change of opponents, taking over Monday Night Raw and having people like Seth Rawlins that he could work with on that show was Seth Rollins and I thought maybe aj Styles, although that's no longer the case, but
I like this move. But again, it's like what I said on Monday when they announced this new World Heavyweight Championship, and I said, you see, this is why Cody should have won at WrestleMania. It's the same thing
with Gunther. Gunther should have lost the Intercontinental title at WrestleMania. Shamis should be the Intercontinental champion right now because you've moved Gunther over to Mondays, You've just debuted this new World Heavyweight Championship that you're going to be commencing a tournament for shortly. That title is the perfect target for Gunther to go after that championship. I mean it practically has his name on it, if not now,
very very soon. So if you had taken the Intercontinental title away from him, I mean, at the timing couldn't have been any better. When they were going to do King of the Ring. I had him peg to be the King of the Ring this year and then would go on over the summer to challenge for one of the world championships, but they kept the intercontinental title on him. That doesn't mean that he will not be in the tournament.
It doesn't mean that he may not even get to the finals. You know, he may be competing for the championship anyway, but his chances of winning it while he is the Intercontinental champion or slim to nun Michael Hayes said that with the third pick in the second round here of this draft, give Gunther both titles, says Swank to Sauce. You know what, fuck it, go ahead, go ahead. I'm a little hesitant to agree with you on that, just because of the situation that we now find ourselves in with
Roman Reigns having unified two belts. That's why we're in this world heavyweight title mess to begin with. But Gnther is great. You want to give him both belts? Fuck it, just give them both belts. Michael Hayes said that with the third pick, SmackDown selects WWE Hall of Famer the Rated R Superstar Edge is now once again, for the first time in many many years, part of the SmackDown roster. I had the same pick. I had
the same thought. You move edge over to SmackDown. And with the fourth and final pick of the second round, RVD said that and this one, I mean this should have been obvious. I mean, given who was making these announcements, how could he not read off this name? The fourth pick was the original Bro Matt Riddle. Imagine that tag team back in the day, Rob Van Dam and Matt Riddles as a t A tag team that would have been. That would have been very entertainment. So that was round number
two of the draft. In the books, Two down, two to go. We had a triple threat tag team match up next with the newly drafted Street profits Ricochet and Braun Stroman, who I guess is cleared well, clearly he has to be from the concussion that he suffered. He did suffer a concussion last week. And the LWO Joaquin Wild and Raoul Mendoza, who I guess is I still call him Raoul Mendoza sometimes, but it's Cruiz del Toro. Three weeks in a row. For those who don't know, the LWO
has been the top merchandise seller in WWE. So the l WO merch is flying off the shelves right now. And I was thinking when I heard that how much money if you had a guess, And I don't have the answer, but I would love to know, how much money do you think those nWo initials or for the nWo gear and all the knockoff stuff like the LWO. How much money do you think that logo has made over the last twenty
six twenty seven years. Got to be an insane amount of money. Like I'm pretty sure the Austin three sixteen shirt is the highest selling wrestling T shirt of all time if it is, nWo has to be right there at number two. Austin three sixteen and the nWo have to be a B. But there's been so much nWo merch and then you have knockoffs like the LWO and parody shirts and everything, and I would just how much money is that design
made over all these years? It's got to be a staggering amount. So Del Toro landed a missile drop kick that sent Dawkins to the floor joking while tagged in. He landed a springboard dive onto the streetfits outside Wild, then landed a Hercan RNA into a pin on ricochet or a pin attempt. Stroman entered in came Braun and he took out Wild, he took out Del Toro, and he took out Montez four. And then it was time, as it is usually every Friday, it was time to ride the Stroman Express and
braun Stroman heads outside the ring. He barreled all of them over again. On the outside, Dawkins flew over the top rope absolutely blasted Stroman with a dive. Ricochet followed with a dive onto Dawkins. Ford tossed Ricochet back into the ring. I think he made a blind tagging here, and then he landed a gigantic frog splash for the victory. You can't be beating the Street Profits on the same night that they get drafted to their brand new show.
So Street Profits, of course we're gonna win this match. It was a fun match though, you know, I enjoyed it. The lwoh. Look, they lose all the time. Joaquin and Cruse are not very successful, and even Escobar, I mean they all lose, but whenever they're out there and they're in a match like this, they always show up. They always show out. They have a good showing. Tonight was no different. I
enjoyed the match. They recapped the angle from Raw on Monday Night where Bad Bunny made his return and he beat up Damian Priest with a kendo stick then challenged him to a street fight. At Backlash, they announced them that Bad Bunny is going to be on SmackDown next week because SmackDown is going to be in San Juan, because it is twenty four hours before Backlash. I believe
it. Backlash is already here. Next weekend is Backlash on Saturday, so they're going to be in Puerto Rico on Friday as well, and the Bunny will be there. After the break, we had round number three of the WWW Draft with Teddy Long announcing the picks for Monday Night Raw. Shouldn't he have announced the picks for SmackDown. Wouldn't it have made more sense to have Teddy Long announcing the SmackDown picks. Teddy Long announcing the picks for Raw,
JBL announcing the SmackDown picks. With the first pick of the third round of the draft, JBL announced that SmackDown selects the Almighty Bobby Lashly, there's a big pickup for SmackDown. With the second pick, Teddy Long said, the Monday Night Raw selects the Scottish Warrior Drew McIntyre, who has yet to make a single appearance on television since WrestleMania. I believe he is out dealing with an injury. I know there's been a lot of talk about his contract situation.
His contract is not up anytime soon, although apparently they are far apart on money. I don't think that has anything to do with why he hasn't been on television. I believe he has hurt. So he was drafted to Monday Night Raw. With the third pick, JBL announced that SmackDown selects Luke Gallows, Carl Anderson, Meet Chin, and the phenomenal AJ Styles. The entire OC has been drafted from Raw to SmackDown, which means we might finally
get Roman Reigns in the ring with AJ Styles for the championship. And with the fourth and final pick of the third round, Teddy Long announced that Monday Night Raw has drafted them Is and the crowd goes mild as them Is will stay right where he is on Monday Night Row. The story of this round, story of round number three here in this draft was Roman Reins getting two new opponents. Now granted, it's two new opponents that will be fed to him like meat being thrown to a lion in a cage. But it's two
new opponents for Roman Reigns. Roman Reigns and Bobby Lashly, who I think is a baby face. I don't know what they're doing with Bobby Lashly. I don't know what Bobby Lashley is supposed to be. He comes out, he slaps hands with the fans, right, they cheer for him, So he's a baby face, I think, right, But it's it's just weird. So let's let's assume he's a baby face. So they could do Roman and Bobby and get a pay per view match out him. But you also
got aj Styles back. It's been a long time since we've seen Roman Reigns in aj Styles in the ring together. The last time we saw those two in the ring together, that was not the Tribal Chief. That was a very different Roman Reigns. That was a very long time ago, and it was great, and I was kind of puzzled by the fact that these two were kept apart throughout this entire run that Roman has been on. But now it looks like we're finally, at some point we're gonna get that match.
So two new opponents for him Drew going to Monday Night Raw means that he follows Gunther, which is not a bad thing, but it also immediately makes him a top contender for the new championship that's on Monday Night Raw, this new tournament that they're gonna have again. I don't know what his injury status is. I don't know when we may see him back. We're gonna have this tournament kicking off in the next few weeks. But assuming he's healthy enough
to come back in time, he's automatically in the mix. Has to be right. He may not be the first champion, but how do you not have Drew McIntyre in that tournament? And you know what, here's the problem with that. For Drew, it's very similar to Cody, right, I said, for Cody more than anybody else on that roster, it feels like second place. You could say the same exact thing for Drew McIntyre. Drew McIntyre had his shot against Roman Raids in Cardiff and he lost the same way
that Cody lost, thanks to Solo Sakoa. He went in there, all the fan fair, all the European fans right cheering for him. He got his old theme song back the whole nine yards and he lost, and so here we are again where it feels like it's a silver medal because he couldn't win the gold. Zelena Vega is going to be challenging rear Ripley for the
SmackDown Women's Championship at Backlash in Puerto Rico. She's Puerto Rican. She's very excited to be going over there and working over there for the first time. It's going to be a big night for her. But before she gets there, she had to go through Sonya Deville on this show who got a job or entrance. Chelsea Green was out in Sonya's corner to distract Zelena. Didn't work. Zelena surprised Sonya with a roll up out of nowhere for the win.
Not exactly a convincing victory for your number one contender for the championship, but it wasn't supposed to be because she is not meant to be a dominant force on this show. In fact, just the opposite story they're telling what Zelena is that she is one hundred and ten percent the absolute underdog who nobody expects to win going into this match of Backlash. After the match was over,
Ria Ripley kick Vega from behind. Then she gave Sonia a headbut just because Rio went for rick tides, Zelena countered it into a spike DDT. Michael Cole sold it like Ria got cocky. When you get cocky, you make mistakes, you let your guard down, you underestimate your opponent. Bad things could happen. Maybe she loses her championship. They're trying to convince people
that Zelena Vega has a chance. She has no chance, but they're trying to convince be that she has a You know what, I take that back. I take that back. I won't say that Zelena Vega doesn't have a chance just because of all this draft nonsense going on. There is always the possibility that if Ria is going to stay un SmackDown now that Bianca is on the show, that could be their way of getting belt off of Riha and giving Zelena a big win in Puerto Rico by having her shock the world and
win the SmackDown Women's Championship. I think that would be atrocious to take the belt off of Ria now after she just won it at WrestleMania. But I won't say that there is a zero percent chance. I will say that there is a three percent chance. There is a ninety seven percent chance against it, but there is a three percent chance that maybe it happens, but I'm not expecting it too. And on commentary Michael Cole said, is it probable? No? Is it possible? Yes, of course it's possible. Anything's
possible. I could interfere in the match and trip Zelena and help Ria win the match. What is the likelihood of that happening? Not very likely. I Am not going to be in San Juan next weekend, I promise. So the entire OC was out next down to the ring, including Aj Styles, his first appearance here in four months since he broke his ankle at a live event. So very good to see Aj Styles back. He's been missed.
Very good to see him back on TV. And believe me, nobody is happier to have Aj Styles back on television than meechin Luke, Gallows and Carlanders. He was about to speak when they were interrupted by the Viking Raiders and Valhalla made their way to the ring and we had a standoff, and aj told him whoa hold up? And he took a few steps back and he took a seat on the top turnbuckle, and he told the OC to handle their business and a brawl broke out. Mia Yim put Sarah Logan down
with eep defeat or I think that's what it was supposed to be. I think I'm not really sure. She didn't get all of it. I know that whatever it was supposed to. The Good Brothers then put down Eric with the Magic Killer. AJ told the crowd SmackDown we have just started, and they went to go leave, and then AJ head second thoughts. He turned around, he delivered a phenomenal forearm to Ivar and left him laying so again.
Good to see AJ back on TV. Then it was time for the fourth and final round, probably the most bewildering round of all of the WWE draft. We had Seawn Michaels, who just screwed me and fired me in the latest installment of SoundOff Gamer Sean Michaels delivering the picks for SmackDown Road Doug, who made a comment on his podcast that I wish I hadn't I wish
I had it in front of me. And look, I get he's a company guy, and you know he's trying to build up the current roster, but he made a comment comparing Omas to Andre the Giant and the Big Show and said something basically about him being better than both of them, but I forgot the exact quote. So road Doug was hanging around with Matt Riddle and RVD backstage, but road Doug came out to read the picks for Monday and
Iron, so they came out together. They entered to the d X theme song, and they stood next to each other at the podium on stage. Road Dug looked like Omas. Actually, I mentioned Omas, he looked like him standing next to Sean Michaels. I'm not sure if Sean is just that short or if Roaddug is just that big like Paul. I think Sean has shrunk over the years. I mean, he was never the biggest guy, but I do I feel like he's shrunk. Sean announced that with the first
pick, SmackDown selects Bailey, Dakota Kai and EO Sky. They're keeping Damage Control together and the entire Damage Control faction has been drafted to SmackDown, and so there goes any chance of them putting the championship on EO Backlash. That's the other thing I don't like about this is that it just makes the outcome for backlash predictable. But the solutions of the problem of not doing a belt swap and just having Bianca dropped the belt before, I mean it was unlikely
to begin with. Bianca has been champion for almost a year. Were they really going to have EEO Sky, who can't cut promos in English? Were they going to have her be the one to break the streak and take the belt from Bianca? Of course not if you're being honest with yourself. Who was never gonna happen anyway, But they just took that bullet out of the chamber. They can't fire it now, so they're all moving over to SmackDown
and look keeping damage control together. Damage control has been largely a fail. The one good thing about this you have Bailey moving to SmackDown so she can continue to torture Michael Cole the way that she did during the Thunderdome shows. So that's something to look forward to. Road Dog announced that with the second pag Raw Selex Shinsky Nakamura. I don't believe Nakamura has ever been on Raw
before, well, I mean part of the raw roster. I'm sure he's made appearances there, but he is now moving over to Monday's with the third pick in the draft, Shawn Michaels. You can see the look of disappointment on his face and he said, not thrilled about this. And I thought he was going to mention Grayson Waller because Grayson Waller as somebody, Because you knew when Shan was out there as a guest speaker here, you knew that meant we were going to get at least one NXT pick. I thought it
was gonna be Grayson Waller. I guess maybe that would have wouldn't have made sense because he should have been happy to see Grayson Waller leaving an XT, considering the issues the two of them have had in storyline. But it was not Grayson Waller. In fact, there were no men from NXT tonight drafted
to the main roster. The SmackDown pick was the NXT Tag Team Women's Tag team champions Alba Fire and Isla Don are now officially members of the SmackDown roster, and they had a live feed from the Performance Center where all of the NXT talents were all sitting together in rows of chairs, kind of the way
it used to be done with the WWE Draft many years ago. They would cut to the back and everybody in the locker room was sitting around, so they cut to the back or they cut to the PC rather and we saw that Alba was in tears hugging Isla. They were very happy. Road Dug then said, well, if you didn't like that pig Sean, then you're gonna hate this next one. He said. With the fourth pick of the final round, Raw selects the NXT Women's champion, Indie Heartwell, they cut
to the piece. See Hartwell had a walking boot on after she injured her ankle. At the Spring Breaking show on Tuesday, there was a big triple threat match for the NXD Women's Championship that completely fell apart after Indie hurt her ankle. I'm going to talk about that match and that show on the podcast on Sunday. I'll give my review. But she got hurt and it was scary. You know. Her ankle got caught underneath her as she was trying
to catch Tiffany Stratton on a swan dive outside the ring. And it wasn't so much that her leg buckled, but she just the way she came down, her ankle was caught underneath her and that was very scary to watch. So she has a working a walking boot on rather, which is not good. I don't know what that means as far as an extended layoff. I mean, there's never a good time to get hurt. This would be a terrible time given the fact that she's the champion and now she's been drafted to
the main roster. So hopefully the injury is not that serious. But if Johnny Gargano and Dexter Thomas and Candice lay end up staying on Monday Night Raw, which I think they should after this, I think they should, you may as well have them all in the same brand, have Indie on the same brand, and they can have a little way reunion. The only one missing would be Austin Theory, who I think is switching over to SmackDown.
Mackenzie. Mitchell interviewed Alba and Isla about being drafted when they were confronted by Caden Carter and Katana Chance, who challenged them to a match on NXT this Tuesday for the NXT Women's tag team titles, which was accepted. Obviously, that's their way of getting the belts off of them before they go up to the main roster. They called up the wrong team. They called up the wrong team. And I'm not even saying that Alba Fire and i La Down
don't belong on the main roster. They're not ready Alba Fire at least, and both of them, but especially Alba, more than capable of being on the main roster and working with the women they have on the main aster. I'm not saying they're not. But Katana Chance and Kayden Carter have been down there now for I think five years. I don't know when they were officially put together as a team. I don't think it was a full five years ago, necessarily, but it was. If not, it was pretty closed.
But they've been working together for about five years now and they have turned into a tremendous tag team, and they've been tag team champions already in NXT. They are toiling down there, and it certainly doesn't seem like they're going to be drafted on Monday. If they're gonna be challenging for the women's tag team titles on Tuesday and probably winning them, that doesn't make sense. They called up the wrong team. I was shocked by this. I expected that
we would get a women's team called up. This was not the women's team I expected the reigning tag team champions. They do this kind of stuff from time to time, and it just I think they just do it to shock people because people won't be expecting it. But that doesn't necessarily mean that it's the right move to make just for shock value. So I think the wrong team got called up, and to call up both of your women's champions absolutely
baffling. That's why I said to look on Sean Michael's face. I don't think he was working. I don't think he had to work very hard to work that expression on his face when he got the news, because he doesn't make these decisions. When he got the news that hey, we're gonna be calling up your women's champion and oh, by the way, we're gonna call up your women's tag team champions too. While I'm sure he's very happy for them, I'm sure he wasn't very happy at getting that news. Just absolutely
baffling, baffling to me. And Indie Heartwell is an interesting case. I like Indie Indie Heartwell. In the pecking order, there there are a lot of women who are more talented in the ring who are more prime time ready for the main roster than Indie Hartwell. So even calling Indie Heartwell up over some of the other women they have down there, it's just baffling to me. Today's episode of the podcast is sponsored by Better Help. Getting to know

Who I guess, figures, shit, this guy just got drafted. I better beat him up now, so he attacked him Cross Cross is eligible to be drafted on Monday. He has to be drafted to Row. I mean, he's just starting a program with Nakamoor. They have not even had the first match yet. He has to be drafted to Monday night. Row him
in Scarlett both. I mean, just have to be so we'll find out on Monday. But that seems to be a gimme right there now. They did mention that the draft is going to continue before even Monday. The draft continues tomorrow because tomorrow morning they have their SmackDown, Lowdown Show on Peacock, and there are going to be additional picks that were eligible. They were in the pool to be drafted tonight and they ended up not being drafted. So
these are the names that are eligible to be drafted tomorrow morning. Candice Lay, Chelsea Green and Sonya Deville, Dexter Loomis, Dolf Ziegler, Death Row or hit Row, Lacy Evans, Maximum Male Models, Mustafa Ali, Natalia Omas and MVP, and the Viking Raiders and Valhalla. So they will all find out tomorrow morning where they have been drafted to that will be on the SmackDown, Lowdown on Peacock. Main event was a rematch of the Night one
WrestleMania main event for the undisputed WWE Tag Team Championship Hips. Kevin Owens and Sammy Zane defending their titles against the USO's. USOS were dismantling Owens and Zane. They were targeting Owen's knee, which they did on television a few weeks ago, heading into the first of two commercial breaks that they took during this main event. I mean there was a long match. It went probably sixteen or seventeen minutes, so we got two breaks here. The match did.
By the way, the match went over fifteen minutes, not the commercial break. Although some of these commercial breaks do feel like they last fifteen minutes, it was not. The match was j Uso and Sammy Zane. They fought to the top rope until Zane hit a Sunset bomb for a near fall. Zane then hit a blue Thunderbomb for another one. Zane climbed to the top rope, Jay cut him off with an ziguri, which caused Sammy to crash down to the floor. Back from the final break, Owens hit a cannonball
on Jimmy. He went up for the frog splash and Jimmy cut him off. They fought on the top rope. Owens ended up nailing a Fisherman buster and then a swanton bomb for a close two count. In the back, Roman Rein's phone Paul Hayman. He answered his phone and then he got off and Haymond turned to Solo Skoa and said that tonight is your night, and off went Solo. Back in the ring, Owens hit the stunner on Jimmy
for a near fall. Then we saw Solo Sakoa He was slowly making his way out to the ring, but he got jumped by Matt Riddle, who brawled with him to the back. USO's regain control. They hit Owens with a double superkick. Another double superkick followed, and then a pair for Sammy. Not to be left out. They had a third double superkick on Owens for another near fall. USO set up for the one D. Sammy pulled j out of the ring, though Owens took advantage. He hit a stunner
on Jimmy. Sammy came back in. He nailed Jimmy with the Hallulah kick and he looked at WrestleMania. He hit j with the Haluva kick. Impendam tonight it was Jimmy ate the Haluva kick and eight to three count still tag team champions Kevin Owens and Sammy's aim. They cut to Solo Sakoa, who I guess made the short work of Matt Riddle. He had come back out. He was looking at what just happened. He saw the USOS lose,
and he had this shocked expression. It was like the most emotion we've seen on his face since he debuted, and Michael Cole speculated that Roman Reigns might not want the Usos in the Bloodline anymore after what happened tonight. This did not have the emotion of their WrestleMania match. I mean, it never was going to because that was the payoff to the story. We got the payoff of WrestleMania. Now it now it just feels like we're an extra innings.
But this was still a very good main event. You know, these four worked very well together and a lot of energy, good action and the right outcome, you know, not taking the belts off Owens and Zane so soon. So tonight was a one match show. But I enjoyed the first two matches of the show tonight. I'm not saying those matches were bad. I enjoyed the La Night match. The Triple Threat tag match was fun for the time it lasted. But really tonight was a one match show. And the
only week spot I thought on the show tonight was the women's match. That really was it. I mean, but tonight wasn't about the matches. Tonight was not about any of the matches other than the main event, which was more about furthering the Bloodline story and the drama with Roman and the USOS. Tonight was about the draft. It was about Night one of the draft. And now that we have Night one of the Draft in the books, and shout out to Toby for gifting a channel membership to Macavelli in the chat.
Hey Toby, thank you. And David Wilson just became a sound off superstar as well. David, thank you, sir. Now that Night one is in the books, let's throw up these graphics here. I want you to take a look. Look, these are the picks for the show. Actually that's not it. Here here's how SmackDown shaped up tonight after Night one of
the Draft. See Roman Reins, Paul Hayman, Solo, Sakoa, Bianca, Belair Edge, Bobby Lashley, the Street Prophets, Damage Control, the oc Albifire, and Isla Dawn. And then you look at Monday Night Raw. You got Cody Rhodes, Deckie Lynch, Drew McIntyre, Imperium, Matt Riddle, Shinsky, Nakamore, them Is and the NXT Women's champion Indie Heartwell, take take a look see see look at the Raw graphic right, and then look at the SmackDown graphic and you see how lopsided those graphics are in
terms of quantity. You see way more bodies for SmackDown. I mean, look at look at Raw, and then look at this, way more bodies here for SmackDown, which is an hour shorter than Monday Night Raw. SmackDown is only a two hour show, So that is going to change on Monday. That's why we're far from done here. Has to change on Monday because it's just logical that Raw would end up with more talent because it's a longer
show. But if you look at these, you look at these two rosters here, I would say quality wise, quality wise, it's pretty even. I would give the slight edge to Raw. Honestly, you know, SmackDown got Roman and Edge who barely wrestle, but they did get a j Bobby and Bianca, Raw got Cody Drew Gunther. I gotta give the slight edge
to Raw, at least as far as the men. SmackDown I think has the edge as far as the women's side is concerned, and SmackDown for the time being still has Rear Ripley. You know, as of this moment, they still have Bianca bell Air and Ria Ripley on the same show. Now, I say for now. You know, we got the Bloodline and the OC on SmackDown and Damage Control. That's three factions that they have. Now on SmackDown, you have Imperium going to Raw, and I have to think
they keep the Judgment Day because they need to balance out the factions. And there's just no reason for Ria to stay on SmackDown if Bianca is going to stay the champion then, which is a shame because I was kind of hoping that we would get Ria and Bianca on the same brand and then build to an eventual match between them, and now it just doesn't seem logical that they would bother doing that. But I want to bring this list up here.
This list here is the talent pool that is eligible to be drafted on Night two, which is coming up this Monday, and I believe this is this is the entire list. Kira Tozawa, Alpha Academy, Angel Garzan, Humberto Carreo, Osca, Austin Theory who should be a shoe in for Smackdad. If you're moving the Intercontinental title to Mondays, then the US title goes to Friday's Baron Corbin. I would like to see Baron Corbyn go undrafted like that
last kid who gets picked in Dodgeball. Yeah, everybody else is getting drafted, and he's just kind of he's just kind of forgotten, standing there all by himself. Braun Strowman and Ricochet. Actually, you know, it would be cool for Baron Corbon. Not usually a word I would associate with Baron Corbin. Cool, but it would be kind of funny since you could technically be drafted anywhere, if they drafted Baron Corbyn to NXT. If you remember when he was the lone wolf in NXT, used to make fun of these
guys who would come in from the Indies. One of the funnier moments was when he made he was making fun of Apollo Cruise after he did viewed and he told Apolo he said he shouted at him during one of their matches. He said, go back to Ring of Honor. Of course Apollo had never worked for Ring of Honor. But it would be kind of funny here now, all these years later, if we see Baron Corbin sent back down to the minor leagues and he's on the NXT rosters sulking around, I think that
could be entertaining. Braun Stroman and Ricochet, they are eligible to be drafted on Monday. Brock Lesner is also and I would have brock Lesner right where he is on Monday Night. Bronson, Reid, Cedric, Alexander and Shelton Benjamin, Charlotte Flair. Charlotte should be wherever Bianca is. I was gonna move Charlotte to Raw, but if Bianca is going to be on SmackDown that
I think Charlotte should stay on SmackDown. You move Raha to Raw. I just think Charlotte against Bianca is the eventual direction that I would be building to. Dana Brook, Elias Emma, Johnny Gargano who I would keep on Raw. And Tamaso Champo when he comes back is a Champa eligib. No, he's not. He's not eligible because he's hurt. The Judgment Day, Carrie and Cross who should be on Raw? Kevin Owens and Sammy Zane La Night who I would have on Monday. N Ira Live Morgan and Raquel Rodriguez,
the reigning women's tag team champions. Maybe they'll do an even swamp since they moved Alba Fire and Isla Dawn off of n X team, maybe they'll live Morgan and Raquel take their belts and they'll go to NXT and we'll get another
belt. Swamp, Nicky Cross, Piper Niven. Interesting. They're listening rear Ripley separately from the judgment Day, Rick Boogs, Ridick Moss, Ronda Rowsie and Shana Basler, Seth Rollins. Who should stay on Monday Night Raw SHOTSI, Temina, Tegan Knox, the Brawling Roots, LWO, including Ray Mysterio, the New Day and there has been there have been rumors that Biggee could potentially be a surprise, which I guess would mean whatever brand New Day is
drafted to, maybe Biggie makes a surprise appearance. Again, that's just a rumor going around. There's been no confirmation of Biggie even coming back, but that would be a cool moment. The USO's are officially eligible on Monday Trish Stratus, Zia Lee and select NXT stuperstars. Now we saw some baffling picks tonight. Less baffling would be moving Grayson Waller to the main roster. He's ready. They put Miss on Raw right Miss is still on Raw? Then
I would send Grayson Waller to the opposite brand. We have Roxanne Perez I think is ready to be called up just based on her being pinned on a spring breaking on Tuesday. It just seems to me like she took the pin in that match. They want to protect Tiffany Stratton, but she took the pin because she's probably on her way up. Zoe Stark is another one. I mentioned her the other day. I would be moving her up as well.
Cameron Grimes and Pretty Deadly. Now they only drafted three people technically two NXT acts if you count the tag team is one act, so maybe they won't draft that many, but for sure Pretty Deadly who were murdered on Tuesday. That's how things were left with them on NXTA. They were murdered. We didn't see it on camera, but they were killed. They were killed off. They were putting a card trunk and dumped in the water. So only place left with them to go is the main route. They will be
reincarnated on the main roster. Let's get some more tag teams up. I think the most likely call ups are going to be Pretty Deadly and Roxanne Perez, but all the names I just mentioned I think should be called up and spread out between the two shows. So there you go. That is your draft night in America, everybody, right, the most important draft of the day, right, not that other pesky draft that's going on. It's all about the WWE draft, right, That's the one that people care about.
Here's the Twitter poll, what did you think of SmackDown tonight? Barely above fifty percent? About fifty two percent of you have given the show a thumbs up, twenty nine percent thumbs in the middle, and about nineteen percent of you have voted thumbs down. So the thumbs ups are winning so far with over a thousand votes in what did you think of the draft? Go ahead and vote at solom Monster is the place to go. He Jeremy Leaf,
thank you for the ten dollars super chat. Yeah. Pretty Deadly is sleeping with the fishes. They took a page out of the Impact playbook where they just kill people to write them out of the show. They just murder them and nobody seems to care. Nobody seemed to care, The announcers didn't seem to care. Nobody made a big fuss about it. Poor Pretty Deadly. I do have a couple of quick rampage notes for you. There was a rampage show on and I think it was on at six thirty tonight, So
then we'll get to your super chats. But the firm deletion match at the Hearty Compound now has a date. It is going to be taking place on Rampage next week, I presume on Friday. I don't know what day of the week it's airing next week. It could be Friday, it could be Saturday. I believe it's airing on Friday. Yeah, I actually have it. Hold on again, I think I have it here thirty. Okay, there you go. So the show is once again out of its time slot.
It's ridiculous. All the sports coverage is just an annihilating Rampage. So the show will air next week at five thirty, but the firm deletion match at the Hardy Compound will be on the show. Tonight on Rampage had the Hardy Boys and Hook looking for Isaiah Cassidy and the Firm that appeared on the big video screen. Big Bill was holding Cassidy on top of his scaffold. I haven't seen this myself yet, by the way, I'm just I'm reading
a description of what happened. Ethan Page demanded that Matt Hardy agreed to have the Firm deletion match next week on Rampage, and in return he would let Isaiah Cassidy go. Hardy agreed to have the match next week, and Page then told Big Bill to let Cassidy go, with Big Bill choke slamming Isaiah to the floor. Also, we learned tonight that on the May tenth episode of Dynamite, So not this coming Wednesday, but the following week there will
be a steel cage match one on one Kenny Omega and John Moxley. Oh there will be blood. Oh yes, there will be John Moxley in a cage match. Get the EMTs ready, there will be blood. So that's May tenth, inside the steel cage. I guess that's kind of a little preview of the eventual blood and guts match, right, you know, one on one match inside the steel cage. All right, let's go through your super chats here. I know you guys have been a lively bunch tonight.
There's Boombox Brock. We'll get a kick things off here with fire Panda. Drop it at twenty one dollar roughly twenty one dollars super jatuh, Fire Panda, thank you very much. Let's say the authority is brought back under Triple H. Let's not say we did. The authority is brought back under Triple H and Stephanie. They are allowed to recruit three superstars each. Triple H gets three men, Stephanie gets three women. Who would you have joined Triple
H and stephan Well, you quit me on the spot. He should be amazing goon Thar. Jerry Lawler loves goon Thar, a magnificent all hell goon Far, all hell, the mighty far. Yes, love it. Who was that? That was our buddy? Fahad would just dropped a fifty eight dollars super chat bomb courtesy of the amazing goon Thag Bahad making a run in here on draft night. I love it. I love it, Fahad, Thank you very much. Jagon Thar joins the authority. Faha, I'm gonna
get to your super chat here in just a little bit. I'm gonna go in order here. Thank you for that fifty bombs. Man. Wow, you know this is the final street for the month of April here, and we are on our way to having our best month ever. I don't know if it'll We're like right there, I don't know where we're at at this point, but we got seven minutes left here. This is the final stream for the month of April. So let's end on at on a hot note. That's one way to end on a hot note. Fire Panda Manum,
you're putting me on the spot. But if they brought the authority back, I don't know, Triple H a rage thank you for the sub Who would Triple H recruit? Well, he already had Randy Orton and his authority once, right, Maybe he'd have Randy Orton back in his authority again. Maybe Triple H would have his own little evolution a fetch this time Randy Orton would be kind of in the Triple H role since Triple H can't wrestle. Yeah, maybe maybe you'd do a deal where you have Orton and Theory and maybe
somebody from NXT. It's just a matter of who. I don't know Waller would really fit necessarily, but I could see that I could seem like a Grace and Waller type. Um. I could probably do better though, if you give me a chance to think about that. But as far as the women who would Stephanie Pick, I mean Ria Ripley does not need to be part of the authority. I wouldn't go with her. Maybe it healed Bianca bell Air. Bianca goes corporate, have her part of the authority. She's
still very popular though Bianca is very popular. I'll give me a chance to think that over. But that's a good question. Fire Pandom, Voiceless Jackson. Cody either winning money in the bank or the rumble, Well, it should be money in the bank. I don't need to see this drag out for another year, Groovy Goose. The only reason Cody will be SmackDown Champion for a year is because Roman Rains doesn't want to work. Mondays, thanks for the stream by friend. You're very welcome. It's an iconic promo,
and he met ray. I know what you meant. Thank you, Groovy Goose. I know what you meant. Jacob Harrison. Don't know how we're expected to care about Romans title run anymore if there is no incredible to beat him. Beyond tired of it at this point, Dan Teller, Okay, so that's it. Then instead of Cody finishing the story, the story is just over. So now I guess Cody goes for the Consolation prize title WTM. I'm with you. I'm with you, but I have to assume that
the plan is money in the bank or the royal rumbling. The story is not over. They have just chosen to drag out the story them much longer. How they're going to get there, we don't know. I don't know what to tell you. You're preaching to the choir, Brett Brode. What was more shocking on SmackDown the fact that Corpus Christie made some noise or the fact that La Night actually only one a match. That's a tough question.
They were both pretty shocking, I will tell you, but probably more shocking that La and I got to win the way things have been going for him, Raoul, I'll tell met on no put some respect on Corpito's tonight, Vato, Okay, I did? I gave them credit. I gave them credit right at the top of the street, Jay Glow with the four ninety nine. I read a rumor the WWE is considering going back to brand exclusive plees. Would that be a good thing or a bad thing? Having two
pls a month? Having two pls a month is not a good thing. Having split brand pay per views and alternating months where you have maybe three for Raw during the year and three for SmackDown, and then the stadium shows the big shows are joint. If they were to treat the brand split as a real brand split, it could work. Your idea though of doing two plis a month, I don't think is what is what they would do. That
is certainly not a good idea. You would alter it. Raw gets three, SmackDown gets to rate and then they share the big stadium shows in the Saudi Arabia shows. Right now though, that's all it is is a rumor. This is not anything confirmed. Aussie of Steel with the six bucks, Hey Aussie, thank you Sarah. We are only what twelve legs away from be the bookers, so hit that leg button. Seth should still be the one to win the new World Heavyweight title and maybe have Cody win money in
the bank and announce where he will cash in like RVD did No. Six. Also on a side note, great to see aj back. Absolutely I missed them and even before he got hurt, he really wasn't doing much. So I'm hoping that this is the refresh that he needed and to get him really involved in something meaningful on the show. Como Almos though, Hey, Como, what's going on? I heard from Como earlier on Twitter. Before I get to Como though. The thing to keep in mind about these split
brand shows, they've tried this twice. They tried this many years ago in the mid two thousands, and they tried it again in the mid twenty tens, and both times it only lasted a few years and then they gave up on it. And a big part of why they gave up on it is because they gave up on the brand sport. So if they do go back to a model of split brand shows, which they could do, I don't
see it lasting in the long term. It may last a couple of years, and then they're going to go right back to the way things were, because they always do. It's their m Como says, I literally was more excited for this review just to get your reactions and takes on this draft. As I knew this was going to be a field day for you. It's always a field day for me. It will be a field day for me on Monday as well. It is always a field day when it comes to
this draft. Ship. Combo, though, thank you for the five man. I hope you enjoyed it. I hope, I hope you thought it was worth your time. Nick Grosso with the nineteen ninety nine Indie being drafted is baffling. If that was the case, why didn't she drop the title on Tuesday? You could have argued that just based on the injury alone. At one point during that match, they were calling in a finish of Tiffany Stratton to win the championship because they didn't think Indy was going to be able
to make it back in the match. I mean, this is a lot of reasons they could have been should have taken that title off of Indian. They didn't, But again, they're going for shock value, right. Nobody would have expected the SmackDown Women's Champion and or i'm sorry, the NXT Women's Champion and the NXT Women's Tag Team champions to be drafted on the same night. It gets people talking, It gets people excited. Oh if they did
that on Friday, what are they going to do on Monday? I get that, I get the logic in that, but do the moves make sense? Certainly not the moves I would have made. He says, I guess we're getting another belt swap with Riha and Bianca because I do not see the titles being urged Arabian Night two thousand with the five dollars, super Chat says, with Cody going to raw again, so dumb? Does he win money in the bank or is his story over and he will win the other title?
Is there a chance that Jay Usso is the chosen one for the other title? No? But again, I don't think Cody's story is over. I just think they're taking They're taking the scenic rout. All is okay if he wins money in the bank and cashes in its summer Slaven announces that I want to face you at Summerston. That would be the correct way to go. We have the champ with the nine ninety nine. Cody has to be winning money in the bank now. Also, I really don't want to see
him in rollins in the finals at Night of Champions. I hope that he gets screwed before the finals like stone cold Steve Boston did during the Deadly Game tournament. Right, that's where Shane McMahon flipped him off the comedic genius LA Night one. Yeah. Oh, by the way, f the Cody story. Chris Minor Best and Worst GM in Raw or in WWE history, it's gotta be Mike Adamley, right, Mike Adamley has to be the worst of all, at least as far as Raw SmackDown had Hoots Backdowndown, SmackDown had
Steph A. Curt Angele, Teddy Long, Vicky. Paul Hayman was Paul Hayman the GM at one point Unsmackdown, I think he may have been. Who am I missing? I don't know. I'm sure I'm missing a bunch of people. To me, it doesn't get worse than Mike Adamley. Mike Adamley was literally out there with que cards. And you know it's said because we didn't know it at the time. We found out many years later that he's got some pretty significant health issues and brain issues, and that had a
lot to do. I don't even think he knew at the time, and that had a lot to do with his screw ups and him not being able to remember certain things. But still, when you have a guy out there reading in front of a live crowd off que cards to remember his lines, you know he shouldn't be in that room. I'm sorry, but he shouldn't be in that room. Down Bad with the four ninety nine. Time for a belt swap between Ria and Bianca. I am so excited. Oh I
could tell. I could tell how excited you are. Isaiah Duson with the Five Bugs. Rob Van Damn got me into wrestling. I was happy to see him on SmackDown, but I am even more excited to meet him at a show in Pennsylvania tomorrow. That's very cool. I saw RVD he was walking down Bourbon Street one of the years I went to WrestleMania, I think it was WrestleMania thirty. He had an entourage around him with bodyguards. I don't know whoever they were. And yeah, I went to go say hello.
A couple of people just went to say hello, and it was like nope. Kept walking, just totally shielded away from everybody. It's like, all right. Meanwhile I'm running around to just bars on Bourbon Street. I bumped into Mojo Rawley is in one of the bars. Couldn't be nicer he was. He was all over the place, all smiles, taking pictures. Trey Marquis, we are about to have another belt swap. Yay, Toby says, where is Vince? Vince is always around you may not see him,
but he is everywhere. Vince is everywhere. Vince is watching you. Even when you don't think anybody is watching you, He's watching. And I want you to picture him watching you. You are in your most intimate moment where you think there's nobody in the world who can see what you're doing. You will picture Vince in your mind with that creepy mustache. James Fishwick guitar
uk A twelve dollars super Chat. Thank you, Salo Monster. Been listening to you for ten years, but more so over the past year is My brother passed away and I have been walking listening to all pods that you do, and it does help. Well. James, I'm very sorry to hear that bet your brother, but I'm very happy that you found the podcast, very happy, and I hope that you continue to listen. Rob g Spot with Shane and Blackman in two thousand was insane. Shane was insane. Yeah,
I mean to do that. It's a trust fall, but you're not really falling onto anybody. You're falling onto a crash pad. You're not falling into anybody's arms. But he was every bit of fifty feet in the air, took a kendo stick to the back, right on the side of that scaffolding and just let himself go. And man, if you if you don't fall in just the right spot, you don't land perfectly, that could be tragic. He took a lot of bumps like that. Chris Minor Within.
If WWE logic was in sports, top players in the American League such as Aaron Judge and top players in the National League like Bryce Harper will all compete for the American the American League championship. Well, I thought you were gonna say that if it were a real draft, um and uh, you had players like Judge and Harper that you would draft, you know, trying to who who can I who can I name? You know, some second string
catcher or somebody you know. I'm not meaning that the Street Profits are a second string catcher, but I'm just saying again in the second round, first pick, Drew Bobby, you picked the Street Profits, really, Roberto Bennet with the one dollars super chat. Hey, roberttol thank you, Ginger Stolpion, long time lurker, just contributing to the tip jar Ginger, thank you. If I had a hat on, I would tip my cap to you, love Lie. Do you ever think Roman is too big to lose?
He is such a big star that I fear him losing anywhere other than WrestleMania will not feel like a big deal. Summer Slam is at ford Field. WrestleMania was at ford Field ten years ago. Right, they can put seventy thousand plus if they want to in ford Field. That's a big show.
I know it's not WrestleMania. But here's the thing about WrestleMania. WrestleMania each of the last three years has ended with Roman Reigns the heel going over in the main event, and WrestleMania will always feel like a like a big deal in all the pomp and circumstance in the stage and everything. Right, it
will always be a big deal. But a lot of what wrestleman it was about was finishing story, sending people home happy, browning a new champion, getting that big moment, and it just feels like these last few years we've gotten less and less of that. I don't have an issue. If they want WrestleMania to be just another show in terms of moving the story along,
then that's fine. But then you've got to take some of these other big stadium shows that they're doing, and you've got to pay off some of these stories sometimes, and Summer Slam in Ford Field would be a perfectly acceptable time to do a title change if it makes sense story wise. Just because it's not WrestleMania doesn't mean that you can't do it. So I don't feel that way. I think Summer Slam, if it happens, it's Summer Slam,
I think that would be a perfectly fine place for it. I get what you're saying about it's not WrestleMania, but that's why they should have done it this year, and they didn't. And just because they didn't pull the trigger this year, it doesn't mean that, oh well, well, gee, I guess we can't take the belts away from Roman until next year. No, you can, absolutely can. Jay Glow with the four ninety nine Wweek cannot have three world titles. I think after Roman hits a thousand as the
Universal Champion, they should retire it. What do you think, keep up the great work? Yeah, I mean, look, I'm fine with retiring the universal title. I don't really have much of a need for it. But are they going to do that? No? Of course not. He's going to be the unified champion until he loses. He should not lose or retire anything until he gets picked. Then you can do whatever you want with the universal bilt. Reborn bladder or bladder? What a gimmick that would be
right if you were if you were a reborn bladder. Wow, Wow, must be getting late, man, because I thought that said reborn bladder. And of all the things to be reincarnated as, yeah, I can get being wanted to be reincarnated as a bird, as a lion, to be reincarnated as a bladder doesn't sound very appealing. Reborn Blater says, not the worst draft, but I hate the only way to fix Cody now is a
briefcase. I love the streams solemn months. Yeah, I mean it's it's not the way that I would have It's not the way that I would have done it at all. But as long as he doesn't do one of those ridiculous cash ins on somebody at the last minute you announce in it advance and calling my shots like the fucking babe Ruth. He's gonna call his shot a month in advance, then I'm okay with silver Tower. Hey, it's our buddy, Silver Tower man, he's he's gifted quite a few memberships over these
last six weeks or so. Silver Tower with the eighteen dollars super Chat, thank you for these streams. I have not been able to watch the shows recently, and your streams helped me keep up to date with WWE and ae W Well. Thank you. I am happy that you can find some use out of these streets again. I watch so you don't have to, or if you don't want to, if you can't, That's what I'm here for. I'm always here to bring you up to speed on what's going on.
Scotty were Scodie clash with the ninety nine? These picks make zero sense to Tody going after the world title? What story is he finishing if he is going after a little a title. The Dusty was not screwed at who will beat Roman? Now? I don't get it at all. I think it's still Cody goat Bobbert Reviews with the thirty dollars Bully the Cloud super Chat. I am a little sad that Bobby Lashley di drafted to smack that new world
heavyweight title would look good on him. Nick Grosso with the nine ninety nine. If the LWO and Judgment Day get drafted to Raw and continue their feud, Judgment Day is going to need a new member. Ben Valor already teased the new member joining, So what if Cross gets drafted to Raw and he joins the judgment Um. If the LWO and the Judgment Day get drafted to Raw, well, I mean, I guess been teased it when he tried to recruit Cody last week. But has he been teasing recruiting a new member
on social media or anything serious. I'm not aware of there being some kind of big campaign to get a fifth member of the Judgment Day. I don't know that they need another member. I think it's fine the way it is. No because if you bring in Carry and Cross, then you got Scarlett, so now you're gonna have Balor Cross, Scarlet, Ria, Dominic Priest. It's too much, it's too much. I would keep the Judgment Day together and just move them to Monday Night Raw or I guess keep them since
they've they've they've been on Monday Night. Raw Ria went to SmackDown when she won the belt. But I would I would have them on Raw. I don't even think they need a new member winked the Cosmic Grandma for a slice and a pint on me. Thank you, good sir, thank you for the nineteen ninety nine wink the Cosmic Grandma. KRT went to the show. I'm sure you've said it already, but was the crowd tier liking? It?
Was hot the entire time I was there. It was the first thing I made comment on when I started tonight, I said, Corpus Christie, they're gonna kill their gimmick. They actually made a lot of noise to night. I was very impressed. You know what's wild about WWE right now? They have a European tour that's going on, and so I don't know what's city they're in tonight or today, but the show that they had over in Europe was sold out, like a legit sellout. I think seven thousand people,
and I believe they were sold out tonight in Corpus Christie. So that would be two sellouts in the same day. What's the last time that happened. It's a hot product right now, man, it's a hot ticket. Arabian night. Underwhelming way to bring AJ back? Yeah, yeah, I would say I would. I would agree with that. I'm just glad he's Backbild Zachariah, thank you for the four ninety nine two questions. Could Finn win the World Heavyweight Championship? Which lineage bites the dust? WWE title or
the Universal Time? The one that bites the dust is the one that's only been around for about six or seven years. Solomania running wild right now on all your screens. Look at those seven inch pythons. Brother, Yeah, the Universal title goes goodbye. If you're telling me to pick between the lineage of those two titles, the Universal Title can take a seat next to the fucking twenty four seventh time. And could Finn go after the World Heavyweight Championship
as long as he stays on raw? I don't see why he wouldn't be in the tournament Arabian Night. Do you think the plan is for Cody to still win the WWE title or is that over now with the draft? But Bill Cody is a smart guy and he knows how the story should end. The story is still Cody winning the w w E Championship. John John trailer with the twenty dollars super chats. What is one of the most inspiring promos
you have seen in WWA. For me, it was Eddie Guerrero against Brock Lesner the night Brock came back out with a mariachi band and Eddie talked about his addiction. Yeah, the addiction promo is definitely one that's on the list for sure, because again, it had those elements of realism to it, and you knew that Eddie had addiction issues in the past. Yeah. Just the way that they weave that into the story I thought was well done.
Yeah, it wasn't. It wasn't overly exploited. There's been plenty of exploited WWE angles that they've done, so that one would be pretty high up on the list. Unfortunately, we've had a lot of retirement promos due to injury from Edge and Daniel Bryan, and they both eventually came back. But those were pretty emotional. I mean, I don't know if you would count those,
but you know those we were pretty emotional promos as well. Yeah, I mean those are those are some of the ones that jump immediately into my mind. I would say, uh, Ian Noel kamelots with the ten dollars super Chat. Looks like we'll have Bobby Lashley and aj Styles going after Roman next. Hopefully they won't be just fed to him to pad his reign.
Well, boy, you are going to be very disappointed, my friend David Wilson with the ten spot, I sensed the Bloodline losing the six man tag and backlash, and that's when Solo drops the hammer on his brothers once again. A SoundOff member shears solomonster David, thank you very much. Appreciate your membership, Appreciate your patronage very much. Jeremy Watley, I love your show. I agree that Cody should beat Roman at Summer Slam, but I think
WWE's intent is to make Cody a champion without beating Roman. They think that Cody winning ros belt is the same as the WWE Taitland. Well, that would be very stupid. You know, as much care as they have taken to craft the Bloodline story and the Roman story and the Jusso story, I would certainly hope that Triple H and Vince, because you know Vince is still he's got his fingers in this. I would certainly hope they have enough sense to realize that the two are not the same, and there is a story
that Cody has to finish. This is not the way that you finished. They have they have to realize Slipper house extra extra omas for the new World Heavyweight Champion, Slipper Slipper. I think he may have dropped the slipper on your head. Somebody may have bashed you in the head with one. I hope you're feeling well. I hope you're a concussion is not too serious, that you are cleared and back on your feet very soon. All the best
Arabian night. Do you think Mero can be the next challenger for Claudia? I don't. Fahad, there we go, there's our boy, Fahad with the fifty eight dollars super chet bomb. Did you feel that the aj return fell flat? Did not feel that the announcers made a big deal about it. I would have made a bigger deal about it. I would I would not have. I would not have just sent him out there for a promo
to be interrupted by the Viking Raiders. But if he's going to be part of the OC, then you know he's gonna have them following him wherever he goes. I would have made it a bigger deal. You know, he's a former world champion, he's one of the more popular stars they have. I mean, it would be the equivalent. And maybe people think that, you know, Orton's return would be a bigger deal because he's he's a bigger
star on that roster. But imagine, after all this time, Randy Orton comes back, right, and they did something similar as a way to reintroduce him. Right. It's just certain guys who you gotta bring them back in a certain way where the spotlight is on them. You have something for the to do. You let them cut a promo or it's some big angle you shoot, or you hit their music and they come back out. Yeah, they didn't do any of that with AJ, so it was kind of flat.
He got a great reaction, fans were happy to see him by it was kind of flack. But fahad again, thank you man. That's that's big. Slim Yoshi with the twenty bucks. AJ Styles is finally back home on SmackDown. Now give me AJ against Romans. Since their last one on one match on TV was seven years ago, you believe it's been that long. I know they had a house show match a couple of months ago, but let's be honest, that doesn't count. I agree, that does not
count. Arabian night. Only good thing out of the draft is SmackDown has Lashly and we may see the bloodline against the Hurt Business. Plus Bobby is someone Roman has not yet face. He's incredible. You're way more optimistic about the Hurt Business than I am. I think that ship has sailed, But I guess we'll see where Omas and MVP and Cedric and Shelton end up.
They haven't been drafted yet. Ian Noel twenty five dollars Brimode. So you're the culprit if things work out with bray Wyatt, someone's spighty senses and the chat just just went off. He said the magic words. If things work out with bray Wyatt, where would you put him? He was faced before he left the possibility of him with Alexa Bliss and Uncle Howdy. He would have some potential on both shows. A judgment day against the Wyatt six, he says, yeah, I don't see there being a Wyatt six. I
think that was something that people just right into. Um you know where he goes. And it's funny that you know you're super chat. I'm reading that one now. Bliss Fan has been a channel member here for four months and Bliss Fan says, I still think that only the Fiend should beat Roman reigns at Summer Slam, at Alexa Blish should become champion, beating Charlotte or Bianca for the title. Well, it's not gonna happen. But as far as where Bray Wyatt should go on Raw, now we have Gunther, we have
Cody, We'll probably have Seth Drew McIntyre. I don't want to see Cody and Bray. I don't really think. I mean, certainly not anytime soon. Cody, Cody needs to be far away from Bray, Bray and Seth. I think Seth would have horrible PTSD even being pitched the idea of working a program with Bray, Bray and Gunther. I mean, you talk about a styles glash on SmackDown, You've got Roman, Obviously there's a history there with them. J is there. It's tough to say, just because we
don't we still don't know what the draft picks are going to be. On Monday, I would say probably keep him on SmackDown. I would keep him on SmackDown. Bobby's World tenty one ten ten dollars super Chat Solo's face when bree Mode was activated equals priceless. We love you, brother. I wonder sometimes if some of you do some of you do love me Bobby's World. Thank you hey. Silver Tower just gifted twenty count them, twenty Channel memberships
to all of our fellow SoundOff members who were not already Channel members. Our Green World Order has expanded. It's a lot of new children to have at one time. That sounds very painful, having twenty new children at the same time. I've heard of I've heard of Octoma, Octomom or whatever she was called years ago. I don't know what you would call that. Twenty how many would that? What would you call that? Silver Tower s and D
you are the goat. Thank you, sir, that's very cool. Becom C clearly Triple H says, let it play out again, God help Cody, EJ slump Mike Adam Link can run a triathlon and he is like seventy five years old. What can his haters do? I personally like Adam Lee way more than Pat MC. I don't think anybody is hating on him.
He was just he was a shitty general manager. What is this concept that it's not just with EJ, it's just kind of a general thing I've seen where you say something negative about somebody in a particular role and they take it personally and they get so offended as if you are torching the person and you're saying that this person has no value, they have no talent, they suck. Mike Adam Lee objectively was a fucking terrible general manager. That was not
the role for him to be in. Doesn't mean that in his heyday he was a bad announcer or he doesn't have personality. When he was doing ECW com Terry, I found myself laughing more than anything. It was it was entertaining, even if it wasn't always meant to be, it was entertaining. But just objectively, he was a terrible general manager. And that's a perfectly fine correct opinion to have. Doesn't mean that I hate Mike Adam Lee.
I used to watch Mike Adam Lee all the time on American Gladiators when he did commentary with Larry Zanka, So I certainly hope you weren't directing that at me. I know you weren't talking about me, because I was always a Mike Adam Lee fan. Daniel Malcolm SoundOff has been holding me down since two thousand and twelve, right over a decade. My first WrestleMania back in twenty twelve, Uh como amos stove with the I WWE was willing to allow one
of their superstars to come to House of Glory. Who would you have handle your Charles Mason problem? And have you ever had any dreams where you interacted with wrestlers in odd places? No? I don't dream about wrestlers. Um, I mean maybe uh twenty five years ago. I may have had a few about Sonny, which is kind of horrifying now to think about. Um. As far as uh, one WWE star I can bring to Hog, I mean just one, right, There's there's a lot of people I'd love
to bring into Hog. Enough to get rear Ripley in to compete for our women's championship. I think that would that would sell some tickets. We already have a former WWE guy coming in to try to take our world title in a few weeks from Jacob Patto. We got Matt Cardona coming in and at Cardona is not coming alone. He is bringing Steph de Lander, his new valet. He's bringing Steph with him as well. I might have to keep an eye on those two Tony Biquette, who was a better job or Barry
Harrowitz or the Brooklyn Brawler. Both guys did their job very well. So as far as a matter of personal taste, I was always I always enjoyed watching Barry Harrowitz Clone Force ninety nine. I smell Usso's breaking up from the Bloodline and Jacob Bought two coming in around the summer and it will be a civil war in the bloodline. If Bought two would have been a great would have been a great addition to the bloodline. Still could be one day.
Honestly, if the timing had worked out, I think he would have been a great enforcer. Even he would have been in the solo so coo roll. I think that would have been perfect. Assie of Steel when reborn, When reborn, bladder hits the ring, you're in trouble. Oh boy, you're in trouble. Assie. Got that from the Henny Youngman Book of Jokes. Zzo with the four ninety nine. Where did you buy pat jacket?
It looks sick. Thank you, I appreciate it. If you want to check it out, you can find it on the iedm Arabian Night two thousand talk about Cody a lot, but having him win money in the bank is such a waste asn't needed. All they had to do is draft him to SmackDown money the bank should be La Knight or Gunter. I had La Night as my pick, I would have gone with him, But just the way things happen now with the draft, it's gotta be Cody. It's gotta be
Cody because otherwise they're gonna drag this out for another year. It's gotta be Cody. Silver Tower with the sixteen dollars super check Papa, and that was sixteen minutes ago. Look at that. That's on top of the twenty gifted membership. Silver Tower has been very busy there. I'm very grateful. Moist
Kite I got drunk in Miss SmackDown. Love the content always a better alternative to watching WWE television Phone Force. Cody wins money in the bank and cashes in RVD style on Roman and beats him at Summer's Slat, like the way you think Slim Yoshi. When it comes to the women's titles, it would not be an issue if they did not have raw and SmackDown in the names. Get rid of it and renamed the belts. Well, the problem is Raw's red and SmackDown is blue, so you still have the color issue.
You could change the name, but it wouldn't make sense for the Raw belt to be blue. I mean, I guess what you're saying though, is is well no, I mean Bianca has got a red belt. So again that doesn't really it doesn't really work when you have colored the multicolored belts like that. It just kind of screws everything up. Devin from NJ with Cody
in w W E is AW now in WWE Continuity? Well, given all the references to Cody, you know, going somewhere else and being an EVP and everything that they bring up in promos, I guess I guess it would be. You know what AW was in WWE continuity The moment that Sammy Zane cut that promo a few years ago when he was sitting in the ring and he asked the crowd, what do you want to talk about? You could have asked and he had the fans asking him questions, and he said,
you could have asked me about anything. You could have asked me about a e W. From that moment on, AW was in WWE Continuity storyline. It exists in the w w E universe. Lady fire Panda, remember before the White Rabbit reveal, I said it's either bray or it's a bust. Well it was bray and it was a bust. We've finally gotten through all of your message and look at this. Nearly thirty new members so far tonight have been added to the roster. That is a hell of a way to
close out this month, I'll tell you that much. Now. The gold tonight for be the book or the Lights goal was five hundred lights. We are just shy of six hundred. We eat two more people. Who's going to be number six hundred? But thank you for smashing the goal. And it is now officially Saturday morning, and it is time for us to hear our night one of the draft to be the booker. Ladies and gentlemen, it is now time to be the booker. A toasted sheep? What's going
on? Toasted sheep? For twenty in the chapel, all my channel members bust out those b to b be the booker emojis, and we are going to begin by booking ourselves a Mend's match. The Salom Monster draft is over. We have a brand new roster. And first the first pick and the Solom Monster Sounds Off Draft, Salom Monsters Selex Andrade El Dolo looking mighty jacked here in this image, I believe Andrade is currently in the Caribbean on vacation
with his bride Charlotte Flair. With the second pick in the Salom Monster Sounds Off draft, the Salom Monster selects The Rock. The Rock and Andrade El Dolo would be a fine television main event if I do say so myself. Prime Rock in the ring with Andrade, and very good things will happen. So let's do some drafting on the lady side. Here with the first pick and the Salom Monster Sounds Off draft. On the lady side, the Salom
Monsters selects Vicki Guerrero. Well, that was a fucking fan and we don't need to have her on our screen, and so we are going to move on. We are going to move on to the tag team. Salo Manster loves himself a good tag team a war. But first pick in the tag team portion of the Salo Manster Sounds Off Draft, the Salom Monster selects Kane An xpoc. I was always a fan of Canaan X Pot. I like that tag team. I like that tag I was always a Kanan Xpod Gut.
Kane had a lot of tag team partners over the years, Canaan RVD, Kanan Mankind, Kane and the Undertaker, Kane and Hurricane Kanan Big Show Hit, a lot of tag team partners. I'm sure I must be missing one. Kanaan XPOC, though, was always my favorite. There's just something about that team. I don't know what it was. I enjoyed them. It was it was x POC who got Kane to speak his first words and with the final pick Slo Monsters Selex. Oh look at this, Bobby Rude
and Austin Theory. Oh wait, Bobby, I picked the wrong Austin. Bobby Rude and Austin Airies the dirty Heels wrong, Austin. I apologize. This is another team. I enjoyed their run when they were together, an Impact doing the dirty heel stuff. I enjoyed their work together. So Kane and XPOC against Bobby Rude and Austin Airies. It's too bad the women's won. When Sideways there we could have gone three for three, but now we'll never know. Thanks to Vicki fire Panda says, Okay, Solomon, Sir,
