This is Austin Theory and you're listening to the baby Faces podcast on the IHEARTRADIOTOC right for the wall, and you are listening to the baby Faces on iHeart Radio. What's going on, y'all is WWE Superstar Kobe Kid's gonna never been into the baby Faces on Imheart Radio. Bab Well, ladies and gentlemen,
we have finally reached WrestleMania Week. WrestleMania four. You going down this weekend in Philadelphia and yours truly the baby Faces, Me, Billy and my guy Austin gonna be boots on the ground live in Philly for Night one and Night two of WrestleMania Austin, I can't believe we have finally reached this moment. I mean a big moment for us as a podcast. Obviously, we would have never dreamed that this would be the case when we started this thing a
few years ago. So how are you feeling into WrestleMania Week. It feels surreal. It feels like I mean, even even though we were we I we were represented President WrestleMania last year, it's us going together. You know. We've been to raws, smackdowns, ov W shows and It all just started one day when you decided that, hey, let's let's start a podcast, and we kind of talked this into existence for people that that's been And I texted you earlier this morning when I was at your house for the World
Rumble. I kept telling you it's gonna happen. We're gonna go to WrestleMania, and now it's here, and it just seems like it doesn't seem like the longest week ever. Can you only believe it's only Wednesday? I know, man, we we're gonna be heading out Friday, flying out of Nashville to Philadelphia, So I am I'm counting down the days. Man. We're just a couple of work days away, and then we got a nice four day weekend to enjoy WrestleMania. But yeah, I'm pumped. You know.
Obviously, like you said, you went last year, so you you kind of know the drill with this. But for me, you know, it's been watching wrestling since Wrestleman any of twenty four and now sixteen years later, going as a credential media member. I mean, I think that's really the coolest part of it, right, is that, yeah, you're gonna get like the cool lanyard or something, right, Yeah, yeah, we'll look official. We'll look official. We don't have to pay for a ticket.
Like it's I mean, it's awesome, Like it's awesome. And the fact that this podcast has allowed us to to get that to that point, definitely grateful, definitely grateful for that. So absolutely gonna be a fun weekend. Like I said, we'll be heading out Friday, so you know, be sure to give us follow on social media at baby Faces Pod. We'll be posting from WWE World and all the fun that comes with that. You know, probably hit up the Rocky Steps and the Liberty Bill and all that fun
stuff. So you want to fund Philadelphia before you I've I've kind of I've driven through like a couple of times, but never actually you know, stopped and smell the flowers and whatnot. Yeah, I mean, I'm a big it's always sunny in Philadelphia TV show. Yeah right, So yeah, I'll be I'm I'm excited. I think Philly is kind of yah a cool little destination. So and the weather, the weather's sports fans and it's like a huge sports city. So I think we'll have fun and the weather for you
know, northeast. April is actually looking pretty good. You know, it's like mid fifties as the highs for the days. So and no rain. No rain is the biggest thing, thank goodness. That was always my biggest my biggest hold back, not hold back, but that was always what I was scared of, right, yeah, for sure. So with all that said, let's dive into this car. Man. I mean, it's a
it's a thirteen match card as of right now. Everybody's speculating that maybe they add one more to make it seven on Night one and seven on Night two, but I don't know of a match they could add. You know, Live Morgan is kind of the obvious, like superstar that's been left off the car that people are talking about. So maybe they could throw a Live and Nigh in a match. People are speculating that, but I think the card is pretty well set other than that potential. So let's get into it.
You know, I'm not going to go through every single match and like really dive deep into it. There's a couple I'll probably just ask for you know, what your prediction is, and we'll keep it short and simple. But for some of these bigger matches, we'll Uh, we'll really dive in. So let's start with some of the ones on on night one that you know a little bit lower down on the card. You got some like what'd you
say, faction Uh faction battles over here, action warfare. Yeah here, it's like the West Side Story with all these with all these uh, with all these teams, man, yeah, no kidding, So let's start. Let's start with those two. You got Bianca, Jade and Naomi Tiamanov to take on damage Control, which is Courses Dakota, KaiA, Osca and Kyrie saying just quickly, you know what thoughts on the match and who you thinks will win? Uh? I honestly think that it's gonna come down to uh
Naomi Jade and uh Bianca. Obviously it's about time that we finally see uh Jade. When's the last time we saw the Royal Rumble? Right? And she's has had like cameos with just kind of sho on up at backstage with like Nick Alldess. But a lot of people are starting to get like, all right, what's going on here with her? And she's even come out and tweeted that she doesn't even have to wrestle anymore like ever again, Like she's just there's a lot of people just speculating that that she's there for a
paycheck, but I don't care. It gives the star power and more credentials because when she comes out, dude, like she's presented very well. And I'm on the side where I think that they're doing a good job of that. They don't need to rush her in. I think her biggest downfall of what everyone always said that she's not like a great wrestler and who knows, but she's kind of going through the WWE system and they're gonna put her out there when she's ready, and I think that she might be ready. I
mean, she already looks like a freaking star. That was a pretty iconic shot at SmackDown. What was it last week where all three of them were just kind of standing there and pointing at the signs. So it's I think it's they had the potential to really showcase Jade right here, and that's what I'm excited for. But I think that they win. Yeah, I think it's obvious Jay car Gill's debut Matt at WrestleMania, She's not going to take the Walls here, So Bianca, Jade, and Naomi get the win at
WrestleMania. I think we're both on the same page. The other faction match, Latino World Order, which will be Raymisterio and Dragon Lee taking on Santos and Dirty Dom. Now the X factor here and I tweeted this on the baby paces account when they made this match is I think Carlito's is turning heel.
I think he was mad at Raymisterio. He kind of gave him a look when he didn't choose when Ray didn't choose him as his partner for this match and he went with dragon Lye instead, So they kind of planned to the seed with with Carlito in the background, like giving Ray a weird look. So I think Carlita gets in, Carlito gets involved, help Santos and Dom get the win, and then you know, you probably start up like a Raymistery on Carlito feud. Yeah. I actually kind of liked that too.
I know that that they were talking about the Seeds being planning and just seeing like that that look that you just mentioned that Carlito gave Ray right there when he picked when he picked dragonly to be his partner. So it's gonna be uh once again, I use a word showcase. It's a good way to kind of showcase Dragon Lee on the main events scene, right next to a guy that they say he's the next Ray Mysterio as some people say, so you have that, and yeah, I'm very interesting. Carlito is our
guy. You know, this time last year, we're wondering, like they signed him, what are they doing with him? And finally now they kind of got something, and you know him and him and Ray are two pros and they don't have to do a whole lot of stuff to have a good feud with some pretty decent matches going forward. I think that'd be good for him. Yeah. I think Carlito is his best as a heel where he's
doing the whole Apple gimmick and whatnot. Hopefully brings bring back music too, like they need I spin in the face of people that don't want to be cool. We need we need that back. Yeah. I mean he's got the backstabb or that was his character like already, so like why not bring it back? Yeah for sure. Uh So there you go. Carlito turns heel on l w O and help Santos and Dom get the win. Dom gettings by the way, Yeah that's true friend of the show. And Don
gets a little revenge on his that from last year at Wressellmania. So there you go, right, Speaking of Dom, the Judgment Day is going to be defending their tag team championships in a six pack tag team ladder match. Twelve individuals involved in this match going to be absolute chaos, going to be like, you know, money in the Bank when it used to be at
WrestleMania. I think this is kind of take you know, this will take that sort of feature match, right, but to have twelve people in a ladder match and one time, I'm intrigued to see how they pull this off because twelve is a lot. I think ten is the most they've ever done for Money in the Bank, but twelve is something else. So what do you feel about this match? How do you see it going? That was
always kind of in the back of my head too. Is just going to be really really crowded, And of course I don't want to sound like that the safety guy, but you know, it gets kind of pretty awkward when it's a match that's kind of reserved for spots anyway, So it's just going
to be like very, very crowded, but I'm excited to see. Even when we had Damian Priest on Cup weeks ago, he kind of mentioned his concern about it just kind of being a little bit too crowded, and it's different of a match and we wouldn't normally expect in your how many is the original Money in the Bank match? What is that? Six? Eight competitors?
I think the original was six and then it got up to ten at WrestleMania twenty six is the most they ever did, and then it's kind of like fluctuated and usually it's about, you know, six to eight guys. So I mean this is double what the original Money in the Bank match was. So there's obviously going to be a lot of like laying around waiting for your spots, like yeah, you know, stay out of the everybody gets their own moment and stuff like that. So you know, I feel like
they'll pull it off well, but it's definitely gonna be pretty chaotic. And I'm gonna go ahead and tag this as the Friends of the Show match because we got Friends of the Show ladder match. Yeah, Damien Priest been on the show of course, even Johnny Gargano, his wife Candice has been on the show My Association. Yeah, there you go. We got our Truth. We got Kobe Kingston, we got Austin and we got Grayson Waller all we got the mis who I met at the derby. There you go.
So I am like, that's the reason I am kind of excited for it, to see our guys. You know, once you you know, you meet these guys, talk with them, they give you the time of day. You know, you have a lot more respect for him, and you're a fan of them. And so I'm I'm pulling for our guys, Austin Theory and Grayson Waller. Hear him in our podcast open every time we do this thing. But I do think that the awesome Truth, who I would love to see win as well. I do think that they get the w
here and they kind of ride that that hot handle a little bit. They begin over on rall the past, you know, month or two, feuding with the judgment day. So I feel like it makes sense and give our Truth a little WrestleMania moment. Yeah. Absolutely, And it seemed like we don't want to Hey, yeah we do. I want to take credit for it, because once we had our Truth on the show about like a month and a half ago, and you even pitched to our Truth World Champion.
Of course that kind of got a little bit of traction online with some of his quotes when he came on our show, But it just seem games ever since then, it's they've kind of been letting Truth fly a little bit, and they've been giving them a lot of airtime, and Truth's just like he's back over again. He's always been over, but now he's he's got himself a storyline, he's got a reason for people to care. I personally would
love to see our a town down Under guys, do it. You know, there's a lot of speculation that I might even be pulled from the match. I don't. I don't know what all that is. Maybe maybe the speculation of another team returning, who knows. I kind of if it's a Dudly Boys, that'd be pretty cool, But I would hate for that to be at the expense of a town down Under. But I do I think I'm gonna ride with you. I do kind of think that awesome Truth wins.
Even though in this one, I was kind of going back and forth with it with it, because I still think that there's some meat left on
the table with Judgment Day to see what they do with that. But you know, leading on to whenever that world title matches and what they do with that, I guess we'll I guess we'll get to that down the road and how they go about the Priest and Priest thing, And especially this last week on Raw, there was a there's a lot of there's a lot, there's a lot not speculation, but you had a Ria Ripley just kind of saying, all right, what's going on. Dom's got his thing, you have
Damian Priest going on doing his thing. What's up with the group here? So maybe that plants the seeds for not a separation, but things start to crumbling. But yeah, the story is our truth kind of getting his revenge on the Judgment Day and I think that would be a feel good moment for everybody. The interesting caveat here that I just remember that when people are talking about this match, it's the Undisputed Tag Team Championships, So there's the Raw
and the SmackDown. They both you know, are one title right now. But a lot of people in speculating that maybe this ladder match is their way of splitting it up, right, if like one team grabs the Blue belts and the other team grabs the Red Belt. So maybe there is the potential for both of our guys, you know, Austin, Austin Theory, Grace Waller and Awesome Truth. Maybe you know, maybe Austin and Grayson are SmackDown champs and Awesome Truth is rall tag team champions. I think that'd be great.
I didn't even think of that. And they gotta do something with I mean unified the I mean, they got to do something. I think they should spread it up. I mean, like there's so many tag teams right now. The roster is so big. You got to put tag teams together to get people on the show. And you know, if you only have one tag team championship, then there's not a lot of mouths to feed and
that with that, you know, green up. So I like that potential where they split it up and hopefully, you know, it would be our two. Our two teams are pulling for here, so we'll cool to see. Yeah, for sure. Let's get into some of the singles matches here before we get to the main events. Ria and Becky going after the Women's World Championship. A lot of people are saying that this match will open the show. I think the report came out from Dave Meltzer, so take it
with a grain of salt. But a lot of people speculating that all local the show. I could see it for sure. It seems like them are maybe Gunther and Sammy to open, you know, kind of a bigger match, get people into it. Yeah, right, Well, how do you feel about this? I mean Ria has been obviously when it last year when you were there, Russell Madia thirty nine, been Holman ever since Becky coming in, you know, it was kind of like the the grizzled veteran in
this one. You know, she's been there, done that. Can she rise back to the top. How do you feel this match goes? I think it's once again the showcase for Rhea Ripley to kind of look dominant again. I think they're gonna put on a good match, but it just I think even Becky Lynch came out about a couple of weeks ago, she's been doing like a media tour of course, talking about like her book and stuff that just released. But I'm pretty sure I can't tell you the exact quote.
Maybe I could look it up, but she did mention something about like she doesn't need belts and she know, obviously she likes it, but she's she's at the point in her career where she doesn't necessarily care for that, and she seems like she's being the pro and just kind of wanting everyone to kind of thrive around her. And I think that she understands that Rhea Ripley is. I guess we could say the next generation. She's more or less
than now generation. Becky's already had that moment. So it seems that Becky, if anything, Becky would be the one to kind of put Riha over right here. That's that's just where my wrestling mind thinks. But WW could also just go ahead and say, f it, you just got the book out. Let's go go ahead and just give the put put the fame back on you. You know. So, I mean that's a possibility too. But I think I see Ria Ripley uh is still retaining. Yeah, I
agree, I think Rio's she's on fire right now. And I don't think you you halt that momentum. I think this is, like you said, kind of their their way of featuring her and getting her a really credible win at WrestleMania against you know, one of the biggest female stars they have in the last decade or so. So yeah, I think this is a good spot to put put Ria over. And he's already had multiple WrestleMania moments. Yeah, yeah, for sure. So Ria retaining possibly to open the show,
we will render the show by the way too. So that's what we're rooting for. The other singles championship, now, that's true. Good point. The other singles Championship match of Night one, you got Gunther defending the Intercontinental Championship against Sammy Zane Alston. We were talking, we talk about this one ever text you know that doesn't feel like there's a whole lot of like heat to this match. I do like the you know, the whole Rocky
gimmick they're doing with Sammy's aye. But we were talking like, why did they just start that They did one thing yet of him and Chad Gable this week on Raw. Why has that not been going for at least a few weeks where it's yeah, if you were like it was they were building Sammy
up as like the underdog story since a little bit before elimination Chamber. It seemed like, and you know, you had the time to make him the number one contender and then really start to build this and do the whole Rocky thing and do vignettes like do him running on the beach with Chad Gable and like all the stuff that Rocky does, and like nope, just one week of him working out and Chad Gable giving him a little like pep talk. So I don't know, I don't think the one week of working out it
took it. It took He got tore down and built right back up in one week of working out. That's like that's supposed to be like maybe two three weeks of just like he can't stand the first week. The second week that he's all right, it's WrestleMania week. Then Chad Gable throws him the towel and he's like, nah, I don't need it, and then he gives him that Okay, Sammy, I see, that's it. All seems rushed into that that one pro I actually loved the visual of it. That's
something that they should always do for matches. But this is just kind of shoehorned in last second. Yeah, this whole few just kind of seemed like thrown together, like, all right, who who do we have for Gunther? We've been building up Sammy kind of like, are we gonna put him in the world title picture? No? Probably not. Let's put him in
then interercon Hill Championship match. But oh wait, Chad Gable, you know he's probably a formidable opponent for gum Thor based on their history this past year. And then it's just weird. It was really weird. I think they honestly should have probably made it a triple threat match. Yeah, so you have a United States Championship triple threat match on night two, why not just do Intercontinental triple threat on night one? And both of it's not like you
threw it together like both of the feuds made sense. So yeah, But anyway, I don't see any way that Gunther doesn't retain here like it's been is SAME's aying, Really, the guy in this little hot shotted few to in the the longest reigning Interconment Championship champion of all time, No shot, no shot? Maybe next next month at Backlash, with with it being in France and whatnot, But I don't I don't think Sammy wins the belt here.
That's what I say. I think it's uh. I think it is gonna be Sammy's ay, but I don't think it's gonna be at WrestleMania. I think it's gonna be probably they're gonna do the triple threat match I think at Backlash in that way. Obviously Gunther doesn't have to get pinned. You can have Sammy Penn the mentor, right, and then it's in France. He's a French speaking Canadian. He's gonna be uh, he's gonna be able
to promote the show for them. He is like almost kind of one of them, and so that will be a feel good pot for everybody and that will just continue everything with Chad Gable going forward, and then you possibly have Gunther move up to the world title pitcher. So yeah, I like Hunter retaining right here and just like uh and also just a little prop bet of course, one thousand percent, one thousand percent they're gonna do like some other
like Sammy's and hype video. He's gonna run up the rocky steps, right, yeah, probably like a social media video, say yeah, yeah for sure, maybe on SmackDown they show it. There still is a SmackDown. Go. Yeah, So there you go, Gunther retaining in our opinion at Wrestlemandia forty one more match to get before we get to the main event. The brother versus brother match, Jay versus Jimmy, something that fans have been clamoring for for a long time. They had little the little tease of it
at the Royal Rumble. I think we've all known that this was going to be the match for you know, people have been speculating this since, you know, Summer Slam. It seems like, so finally we're gonna get it. I think that you know, these two obviously know each other as as well as anybody, and they can put on a great match. But no shot that Jimmy goes over Jay, right like Jay Jay is so over as the singles competitor. Jimmy is just kind of like, you know, the
afterthought of the bloodline. Yeah, I mean, I don't though. Maybe they throw a win here, I okay, I mean it would be kind of like you know, like Brett hartborz Owen Hard at Russell and it's ten Owen goes over kind of a lesser aut of brother, So you know, maybe that is in the cards. Here. Maybe I'm just uh, you know, kind of kind of already booking into like, oh, Jay's over, He's getting to win. Yeah, I mean he he obviously is,
and he's over with the crowd. But I mean Jimmy Usso is playing one hell of a role just kind of being like this annoying little pest and just kind of unhinged at the same time. So like I I I really kind of like that, but I would like to see him win, but also just I also just kind of think that it's just gonna go to Jay but over under super kicks in this match. Oh boy, we'll have to love to bet on that at at the link, you know, Winter Winter buys
a beer or something like that. Yeah, that's a good prop. We were doing those props for the Royal Rumble. It's good things to bring some of them back. Yeah, no doubt. So there. I mean, you know that you did kind of like change my mind a little bit. I could maybe this is more like fifty to fifty than I thought it was, you know, because Jimmy is the afterthought right now, do they give him a win to kind of make him like, oh okay, Jimmy,
Jimmy Michael to do duel something. I mean, I think this few definitely continues after WrestleMania, right, so that usually helps if the heel wins the first match to continue to the next month. So yeah, yeah, this this one could be a little more fifty to fifty than I thought, So looking forward to that one for sure. I mean Night one, honestly, I'll be real not a lot of matches, like I'm really that interested in.
Yeah yeah, other than the Jimmy j match and some of the spot Fest match, everything is going to be We're just Night one, just gonna be more or less taken in the environment, right yeah, yeah for sure, kind of getting our feet wet, get a field for what. Yeah for sure. But definitely looking forward to let's talk that in let's talk that into existence ringside, all right, Austin Fantasy bookings, s fandom ever here,
let's go. Definitely looking forward to the main event, though obviously, uh, you know, billing it is the biggest tag team match of all time. Maybe it's not that, Maybe it is, I don't know, possibly, but to see the Rock in person will be incredible. Definitely like the bucket list type type thing. As a wrestling fan, So I mean, I'm really looking forward to all the entrances of this match, you know what I'm saying, Like the Rock, Roman range, the Loan are gonna
take up at least an hour. Oh my gosh, it's gonna be incredible. And you know it's this match is all these guys are so over. They don't really have to do much in this match to have people just like really into it. But I do think that they're you know, they're gonna put on a good show. Here the Rock, we'll see if he's got a little ring rust or not. You know, we'll see how he's doing. But let's get into he think it's gonna win. Obviously, big implications
in this one. If Rock and Roman win, the championship match on Night two will be held under Bloodline rules, which means anything goes all that. If Cody and Seth win, then all the members of the Bloodline will be barred side during the Championship match all night two. So with that said, Austin, I'll let you take over and book this for us. Uh, well, I think that this one's just so like I still don't even know a billy, to be honest with you, like this one just still so
up in the air. This and this in the night too thing. There's just so many factors it's going to play into this. This is gonna play into both nights, whether you know. When we had Jimmy Corderioso on last week, he mentioned the Drew thing. Talking to Hayman, you mentioned, uh, some how Jimmy possibly gets involved to kind of help maybe save Cody
Rhoades and other outside factors. If if you're just if you're just forcing me to pick now, I think I think that Rock and Roman win, and it's forced under bloodline rules tomorrow and that's where or tomorrow on that Sunday, and that's where things get really chaotic, like kind of how you envisioned and just it's just like the most russo overbooked, just kind of like crazy ending in that. That's what I would sort of like what I think. It's
probably maybe like a dominant win for Rock and Roman. I just pray that whatever Ring Russ that the Rock has, I just pray they like he doesn't get injured or whatnot in like the first five minutes, because last thing we want are like these Mark fans that just come back and say, oh, we told you he could wrestle, and even though like Rock's main job was to come in and sell tickets and put the profess these people have taken the
professional wrestling part. They taken the wrestling part and pro wrestling way too seriously. They just it's all about the five star matches. It's all about twenty minutes. They want the Rock to come in and just put on like bangers. The Rock is gonna put your ass in the seats, and he's a
good enough wrestler where he'll entertain you. But he's just just the fans with how they disliked all the videos and his return and getting this whole narrative to to flip just because all the Rocks old and oh he can't wrestle, he can't go twenty thirty minute. Who cares. We talked about it last week with him and and him and Hogan. They didn't do it anything, but they just that was one of the best WrestleMania matches ever, one of the
biggest, greatest environments in wrestling history. And that's all that I want to see from this is just that environment that make your hair on the back of your next stand up. But I'm just afraid that most of it is just the times that we are and now they're not gonna care about that, and they just want to see what kind of what kind of moves he can do for twenty minutes, and I just, I just I just can't stand that. So I just one pray that The Rock doesn't get hurt so it doesn't
validate all these marks that comes to you. I told you so it shouldn't have been this. They should have never got into it it was. So that's that's what I'm just hoping for. He might be a little bit rusty, he might be a little winded, but they're they're probably not going to ask much of Rock wrestling wise. If anything, he's gonna brawl and it's gonna be like a brawling style. And that's what The Rock came up in with Stone Cold Steve Austin and back in the night, it was a brawling
style. People just brawled and like through fist and simulated actual fights. What you see now in most of wrestling isn't simulating fights. It's simulating like choreograph dance move And that's why everyone's so excited to come see The Rock. And he's had he's had the beatdown of whooped Cody's ass last two weeks, that's what we're used to. He didn't pull out a Canadian Destroyer on Cody Roads. He didn't pull out a four to fifty Rick Asse splash. He seriously
like whooped his ass and made it look real. That's my soapbox. I'm sorry. Yeah, I just asked for your prediction. I just had to throw that out there. I just do not want it to happen. Yeah,
I hear you. I think Bloodline definitely wins this match. I think that makes the Night two match that much more interesting, right because if everybody's barred from ringside, like I don't know, we need chaos in Night two, Like that match is built up to be just like chaotic, you know, the speculation of Stone Cold coming back for a John Cena, I mean who knows Hal Cogan, Like who knows? Like that could just be the most overbooked like you're saying match fall time, and I would love it.
I think we need that so yeah, because it's building up to be Bloodlined versus like WWE, like the the the true you know WWE, you know, purest and whatnot, the guys that care about the business. And the blood Mine is just in it for themselves. Blah blah blah. That's what
the story is building out. So that Bloodline, I think most definitely gets the win on Night one, The Rock Ain't coming back to lose and a tag team match against Yeah freaking jobber, seth Rawlins, Get out of here, Get out of here, all right, night Let's move on to night too. I know that you know, both of us gotta get back to doing some work here soon. I'll go a little quicker for this one. Let's start. Let's start with with Seth Rawlins, Uh, Seth and Drew
for the World Heavyweight Championship match. I think Drew McIntyre has been spectacular ever since the New Year in this in this heel role, but this few kind this view kind of fell a little flat because of Seth rollins involvement obviously with the Bloodline and Cody Rhodes and all of that. So you know, it's it's been interesting enough, and I like how Drew has kind of warned him, like, don't take your eye off the ball. You got a World
Championship match night too. I'm gonna be right there waiting for you to take that Championship and I definitely think that's what happens. I think Drew has been awesome. I think that he has earned you know, his spot here to to go and win the World Championship and do that in front of fans, something that he didn't do the first time around obviously during COVID at thirty six. So I think this is his big moment for sure, and it's gonna lead to a nice run for for McIntyre. Yeah, I agree, I
agree. I'll just echo everything you said. I've loved his run so far. I loved how he's been able to you know, get creative with T shirts and he even had the uh the the funny even had like the funny little funeral the other day on RAW and he's just he's he's going into business for him and I I love what he's doing. He's making the most out
of it. So I think he wins a title. And I also what they just announced, Clash of the Clash of the Castle is going to be coming to Scotland this year, so it's probably he might be the guy spearheading with that uh that title end of there, because romans as an advertised sport. Yeah, I think that definitely, you know, it confirms it even more so that you know Drew is probably gonna be the champion head into that.
I think wins clean or do you think? Well, I think that they protect Seth because he's in the match in Night one, he'll probably come out with like you know, they probably like work on his arm or something. He'll be bandaged up and whatnot. I think that's how they protect Seth a little bit this one. But I do think he wins pretty clean. Other than okay, so uh, the other you know, World Championship match here, he got Eo sky Depending against Bailey. This one was built up,
you know, pretty nicely. Tales old as time mentor versus student. You know they were friends in the faction damage Control, and now here's the split up. I don't see anyway Bailey doesn't win the title here. You know, Eo Skuy's held it for a while now. She's been a little underwhelming as champion for sure. I can't remember the last time she defended the title. If she did, it was definitely not memorable because I don't remember it. So Bailey is, you know, the much bigger star are this.
I think the story has been built for the for the baby Face to go over here. Yeah, I think so too. I think Bailey has been the more over person. I think EO had a run and it's it was. It wasn't like the greatest thing ever. But I think the Marks got what they want. She was on TV and she wrestled like every week. I don't know if it was like her ever defending the title or when that was, but the baby Faces got their fighting champion on TV and get
the baby Face. The Marks got there. They're they're they're champion on Fighting you know, Fighting TV. So well, it's I I don't think like you said, I don't think she wins. It's it's it's all Bailey from here. I think it's it's her time. Yeah, I agree. I think that'll be a good, a good moment for Bailey. I feel like
she hasn't had a really big WrestleMania moment. I think that's kind of been the story around now, right, is that yeah has been involved in WrestleMania lately, even though she's one of the bigger stars in the women's division. So yeah, definitely deserving, just like just like Drew is too, U l A Knight Yeah versus yeah, Stiles, we both were kind of like, why is l A. Knight not in the United States Championship match at WrestleMania. I think, you know, we kind of talked about this before
it protext and whatnot. I think the reason is probably they want to keep the title on Logan Paul for the time being. So it's like, why would you put l A. Knight against Logan Paul just for him to lose? So this is the way of getting l A. Knight on the Mania card against a credible opponent and AJ styles and getting him a big win, because I think they do. You know, I think La Knight's probably the
favorite to win money in the bank later this year. I think they want to build him up as they have been for a while now, and I think, you know, get a big singles match win here at WrestleMania. Yeah, I think so too. It's La Knight who was left off the
card last year. And yeah, he's he's really showcased himself. Not really a fall from Grace, but just just a couple months ago, over the summer or like over the fall, he was dealing with Roman reigns and that we're going they were in Saudi having the Big Show, and everyone kind of thought, is this l A Knight's chance? But of course that was everyone getting fooled. H Yeah, it'll be interesting. AJ does aj Aj doesn't need it. They also said. Aj Aj hinted at new new interest music.
MANI how do you feel about that? I always like music. I mean I love Yeah, I love it. But like you said, that doesn't really fit his character right now. It's kind of like a dark, like broody, like mad at the world character. So yeah, you know, we'll see, we'll see. I definitely like his I hope they bring back his TNA theme song. It's if anyone's ever want to listen to that, It's a really good one. There you go. Uh, I think this is potential to be a potential show stealer here. I think you know,
La Night can go. AJ styles obviously one of one of the best of all time, so uh, definitely looking forward to that one. Uh. We kind of like sold the lead with this one, so we'll go quick through it. Logan Paul defending triple threat match. It gets Randy Orton and Kevin Owens. I think this is their way of getting Randy and Kevin on the card. But Logan Paul just too big of a start to take the title off right now. Yeah, I agree, I think it's a
Logan Paul. I think this has an ability to probably be a match of the Night for Night those both those two we just said l A. Knight AG style. Honestly, Night two has some really good matches. Yeah, it was gonna be fun like the SETH versus Drew I think will be fantastic. EO versus Bailey I think will be really good. L A. Knight AJ styles. Like I said, potential show Steeler. This one potential show Steeler. So Logan Paul has also had help from either friends or k s
I in the past. I could probably see them coming out and making some sort of some sort of deal. Plus, uh, we forgot to Uh it's good. The Prime Bottle is going to be front center. It's the official Mad Advertiser. First time w W he's ever done that. So it's gonna it's gonna be different to see. You can't have Logan Paul, you know, lose to that right right? All right? Before we get some main event real quick, just one word answer the Pride or the Final Testament?
Who wins? Uh? Who cares? I'll go with I'll go with our guys, a Street Profits look root for them. Yeah, I think I think Baby Paces go over there. Yeah, Philadelphia Street Fights should make it a little more interesting than just basic six man tag. But we'll see. Yeah, all right, Austin main event, here we go and rains Cody Roads. We think that it will be defended under bloodline rules. Hmm, I'll turn it over to you. Go ahead, lay it out for us. Uh. I said it last year and I'll say it again this
year until it just it. It seems like it seems like all the all the stars are aligned for Cody Roads right here at I know you and I kind of both see the value and Cody Roads still chasing and everything that they're doing with Rock and Roman, and I know everyone's just ready for Cody to have that title. So we could get to Rock and Roman next year. But if if, if Roman wins, and people will be pissed off and they're not I feel like they won't be interested in the match with the Rock
because it will most likely be for the title by next year. I think if they don't take it off of him now, I don't think they will, but they're just in such a conundrum what they want to do with Romans with his title reign and passing Hogan's record, and there's just we know he's probably not going to pass Bruno's, but like you still, I still think they want that newer name up on the card. I'm sure up on the record books, but I just I just think the stars are aligned for Cody
Roads right here. I think it's just like I think it's a complete overbooked mess to where it doesn't look like like Roman Reigns really like he really got beat right it'll be. I don't love the idea of what everyone thought that they did with Undertaker and the Yokozuna, where all the heels there, all the baby face came out and like it took care of a Taker, like like they've done with Undertaker in the past. They just bring all the babyfaces
or the heels out and just beat the hell out of them. Like I really don't love that with Roman Reigns. I don't love the the Avengers endgame like idea where there's everybody that they've ron comes out and does that. It should be you're gonna put the guy over on on Roman Reigns. It needs to be one guy singularly, So that's just my thought. But I do think it is kind of an overbooked mess and Cody ends up winning. I was this close to flipping last second and making the Roman reigns my pick,
Okay, but I am like as close as you can get. Fifty one forty nine. Yeah, I think I think Cody Rhodes probably goes over here the more I think about it, And I do think it's gonna be the overbooked mess, which I think will be really cool if they do it. Yeah, I mean the word mess, like yeah, no, no,
in a good way. Right, It's just gonna be like like at some point Rock and you know, Solo and Jimmy will get involved, Jay will come out and help, you know, possibly John Cena, maybe Stone Cold, Steve Austin, like maybe they clear out the bloodline and then leave it just for Roman and Cody to go one on one and Cody goes over Roman.
And and you know, I think that, like you, like you said, if Roman retains the interest in Roman versus, the Rock goes down tremendously, I would say, right, And our whole stance this whole time has been whatever you gotta do to get Roman Versus Rock as big as you can possibly make it for next year WrestleMania most likely. Yeah, then you do that, all right, So take the title off Roman, give Cody
his run that he he has earned it. He's definitely earned it. He's gotten you know, he's as over as anybody has ever been in wrestling. He is the company guy through and through. He's he has put in the dirty work. Yeah, he stays all that stuff that people said he didn't do as of last year. Yeah. Uh. And then, like I think Jimmy corderis mentioned this last week on our show, Have the Rock just like beat Roman reigns, Like you you let down the bloodline. You are
not the head of the table. You're a joke. You lost to that that jobber, Cody Rhoades in the main event. Like what you're nothing, blah blah blah. So then you lead to Roman Versus Rock at next year non title match just for the head of the table. That's That's well, let me ask you something. And this is something as like a Roman mark that I've extremely turned into over the last couple of years. It seems like and everybody is gonna look minuscule next to the Rock. I mean, that's
his that's his presence. But it just seems like Roman's kind of been pushed sort of to the back of this a little bit. And that's if I have any thoughts of Roman Reigns still winning, it will be just because of that, because they haven't really made him look strong, too strong at all. You know, he just really had just a couple of weeks ago, the one where he kind of stopped Rock from talking and he said, acknowledge me. That was really kind of the only thing. But it's usually Rock
coming out and selling it. I've been a proponent of the last two weeks, like why not have Roman Reigns like beat the hell out of Cody Roads in front of his bus, Like that was cool that the Rock did a cool visual and all that, but like, why not that be Roman Reigns.
You could still have it as like it's the Rocks deal and have him, have him come out, or have them come out and show like a video of Rock saying you take care of this, you take care of this guy before Wrestlemaine, or he could have just done it, like you could have made Roman look really good and have Roman give Rock to call and say, please take care of this guy, and then that's when we see the beat down. But it just seems that Roman Reigns has played such such a
small part. That's the only only way I can see him still retaining, just because he hasn't had too big of a part in this feud. It's just been mostly rocking Cody. Hell, if you just started watching just a couple of weeks ago, you think Rock and Cody are fighting for the titles. Yeah, it's an interesting thought, and I like, honestly like I
could see this match one either way. Like I said, I was this close to change into Roman because I do think that there is more they could do with the story, but the fans might revolt and that's a dangerous path to go down for sure. So it'll be interesting. Definitely gonna be a you know, a fun match to be in Person four we are like it did in so far, Like if if that happens again and we're we're it's I feel like an away team, uh going to watch the going to watch
their guy. So yes, I was. I was giving it to La last year when it happened because I was surprised because I came on our show right before and said that Roman was losing, and I'll give it to him again if it happens, no doubt we will be We will be Bloodline fans and surround. Are you for WrestleMania, dude, it's just a couple of days away. Man, It's uh, it's gonna be fun. It's gonna
be a lot of fun. I can't wait. Honestly. It's it's once you once that stadium opens up to you, man in that stage and just walking around Philly, lay out of all the billboards up right now and stuff, and they're gonna play that pre pre WrestleMania package with forty years of WrestleMania moments and you're just gonna remember all the times when you were a kid sitting
there watching it just thinking, am I gonna be there one day? And then just look, it's so cool because I'll get to relive the first time through your first time.
