Listen WWE Superstar Drew McIntyre and you're listening to the WWE podcast show.
The one that everybody wants me sixteen.
So I just work your ass is mind.
You're going to acknowledge me.
What is going on? Guys, and welcome to this week's episode of the Main Event Review, the Main Event post WrestleMania, which is exciting. We're going back to normal screenings as well. I'm going to be also covering raw, the raw after WrestleMania, which to me was probably the best raw after WrestleMania in a very very long time. Lots of twists, lots of turns, some surprise appearances. But again, the main Event does just cover a few segments. So that's what we're
going to be touching on today. Some good news actually gonna that's occurred recently is that they are putting Main Event reviews or Main Event shows sorry on YouTube, So you're gonna be able to watch the full episode. That's for here in Australia and I'm pretty sure that would be available internationally for the US. I still think it's on Peacock because before it being uploaded on YouTube, I've been using a VPN too. Log into Peacock with my cousin's account that lives in the States. But now I
don't have to do that. I can go on YouTube and watch the full show. So for those that are not living in the US and want to catch the main event review or main event show keep saying review because I'm thinking about the podcast, it's on YouTube, so you're able to now watch the full show on YouTube, which is great. And yeah, that's pretty much probably the news that I've got, as well as Australia being updated with the months of when they're going to have the show.
It's going to be in October. They have not confirmed the dates yet, but it will be sometime in October, and I'm hoping that it doesn't occur on a certain date in October where I am busy with something. I've got the Melbourne Marathon here in Australia and have to do that, so if it's not on that date, then
I'll be extremely excited. I definitely will be going and I would love to meet anyone that is from Australia or New Zealand that's traveling down to watch the shows there, and also probably put some content on the podcast regarding what happens when I'm there as well, so extremely excited for more news there. Just want to get my hands on a ticket so I don't have to stress about yeah, not getting a ticket. I'm assuming it's going to be really expensive, so we'll try to probably just make two
of the three shows. I definitely want to catch a house show and definitely want to catch a PLI, So yeah, really keen for that. But moving on, We're going to jump straight into the main event with Kaiser taking on Wack Him Wild here. So Kaiser gets his second match in a row on main event, which I found quite surprising. It does seem as though there's nothing on raw for him at the moment, which is also disappointing for him.
He gets the victory here against a Woking World who is simply there to pretty much just get some singles experience. As I mentioned before, the fans do love his acrobatic in ring ability, but he fails to really connect with the crowd and he's very much attached with the lwos who's not really doing much anyway. So Kailes are getting the victory here makes sense, but again they are failing to really find anything for him to do. Which is
quite disappointing. I've also seen Guntha being suspended indefinitely. Seems like he's going to be taking some time off after obviously what happened on Raw with him putting a sleeper on McAfee. The reason why I'm bringing that up is because there doesn't seem to be a program between those two either or split up, which is what I mentioned last week. I was hoping that maybe they could address them to splitting up Kais and maybe thinking that Guntha is not good enough and he will just leave the
imperium or a program between the two. But yeah, Kais is not really doing anything on Raw, which is disappointing. But we see him my main and he gets some Spider momentum and the victory here, which is the most important thing. We then transition onto Raw, where we get John Cena entering the ring. Alicia Taylor's not there, but he basically tells the new ring announcer to pretty much
say that he is the last ever real champion. I don't know the name of the new announcer, but he is on SmackDown on a regular basis, and he's doing a pretty decent job as a new ring announcer. But anyways, he tells us that winners right history. He's not impressed with the idea of how Vegas treats winners and losers. All of them apparently owe Sena an apology, to which they don't have the courage to do. But actually what's
funny is the fans do end up saying sorry. They chant that, but John Cena agrees that they're all sorry, which means nothing to them, and that they're all sorry people. He wonders how this crowd can mean anything to him right now, as the only thing that matters is his thirty six dates. He counts down each of the time he's been featured since then, which knocks us down to
twenty seven. It's not matches in its appearance, and I like the line here where he mentioned that he doesn't have to wrestle, he just has to show up and when that number hit zero, apparently the wrestling timeline stops, which also doesn't really make sense because he says that
that title will be gone. Yes, he knows that there'll be a new title, but when it comes to like mentioning that no one's going to be able to get the world title or be a multiple time champion John ConA fails to forget there still is a World Heavyweight Championship title there as well, So he may be taking the WWE Championship and they may make a new belt in his eyes, but there's still the World Heavyweight Championship here.
So yeah, apparently the best chance was Cody Roads. I will digress, and he was out wrestled and destroyed and the fans seem to be booing Cody Roads, which was quite interesting. It did fed into what John Cena is talking about and his main kind of problem with the fans having a dysfunctional relationship cheering and when they seem so that does make sense, and really the fans proved
that for doing Cody Rhodes. But basically he tells everyone to get their phones out, which kind of just alludes to the fact that he's still is interested in the fans because of what happened. Later, he mentions the last real champion is here, and just before he gets Randyorden comes out. So randyordon does come out, which is a major surprise or not really, but to him him going to the point to yell shit, which was pretty funny. Just before he copped it An RKO and Randyordan does
hold about here. This obviously makes sense given that the backlash is going to be in Saint Louis, then alluding to the fact that if John Cena does, you know, take the WWE Championship title, Randyornan still has a chance to get seventeen titles. He just has to go for the World Heavyweight Championship. So even if they change it so again, the logic is really flawed with John Cena taking out this WWE Championship again. It does fit to the story that he wants to rule wrestling Maania et
cetera stretcher. He knows that it's going to get a new belt, but it's just hard to really align eff it when you've got a World Everyweight Championship belt on raw and with Jay Usso at the moment. But I think a lot of people are getting their opinions on John Cena's hill turn at the moment and how he's been as a heel. I think John Cena is doing
a good job. Obviously, it seems that it's not real because of the fact that we've been so used to John Cena being a baby face for pretty much his whole wrestling career, it's really hard to kind of take the hill run seriously, but he's really doing a good job in it. The fact that he's obviously cussing out the crowd trying to get them to boo him. It's
just hard when he's pretty much the goat. We all know it's going to be his last year, and yeah, we're basically getting what we thought John Cena was going to be if he was ever a heel. So if we take out the fan reaction, the holistic point of the fact that he's won seventeen titles, the fact that his last year, if you look at him just simply as character, I think he's done a really good job
of being a heel. It's just a shame that they weren't able to pull the trigger a long time ago when this should have really happened and he would have got the heat. But again, the fans are getting what they want. They're getting a John Cena Hill turn, They're
getting a character that they never thought would happen. We're gonna literally see Randy Orden versus John Cena, where the roles of reverse because every time they're versed, Johnsen has always been the babyface and Randy Orden has always been the heel that's gonna literally flip. So again, the fans are not going to probably encourage this, but if you look at how he's performing, I think he's doing a
good job. And there's no hiding the fact that obviously we know that this is a performance, so it's very hard to take it seriously as well, so all these things to consider here. It may have been too late, but I'm happy that it's happened because finally we get the question answered how John Cena as a heel really is and that's kind of what was the stain on his career that was really the stain on his legacy was that he was never able to really really So
he's doing that right now. I think as a character is doing a great job. The fans probably need to boom a bit more. And I think that he's still got a whole year to really sell this, Like eventually he's going to turn face, Eventually he's going to retire, and everyone is going to be happy. But let's enjoy this character that we never thought we'd have. I think if the fans appreciate that more, we'll be able to get the best of John Cena and the crowd really
needs to boot. They just need to boo him despite whatever they think. The more booze and the more heat he gets, the better this run will be. So that's probably all I'm gonna mention on John Cena and continue this. He'll turn change because Becky Lynch on Raw turned heel on La Valkyria. We do get them before losing the titles once just winning it from WrestleMania to Live Morgan
and Racal Rodriguez. With Becky Lynch turning hell. This makes a whole lot of sense for probably so many different reasons. So the first reason being that we now find out who attacked Bailey. I mentioned how it was unfair on Bailey to get attacked the night before WrestleMania. I think that was extremely unfair. We get a bit of a small storyline to that they may set up something between her and Becky Lynch in the future Lyra Tool Belts. Lyra Two Belts wasn't going to last for for too long.
I suspected because again really doesn't make sense for her to hold two titles for too long. The focus should be on the title that she has and Becky Lynch and Seth Rowlins are married, so I guess if you want to take out well, kay fabe, you've got Seth Rowlins who's just turned heel, and you've got Becky Lynch, who just turned hell. Now, so we get two partners, two couples that are both hell too. I do like
the heel turn. I don't like the fact that she came in and did the manhandle slam again when the crowd told her to. That's not the point of a heel. You're not supposed to give the crowd what they want. But again, this is going to be a good feud for Lara Valkira. This is going to potentially put her over. They may give the title to Becky Lynch has mentioned because they might partner up her with Bailey and do a program together. But again, I think this is not
the worst thing ever. I think Becky Lynch coming back as a face she's been there for a long time. Good He'll run here might elevate Laa Vakira and make that intercontinental title a little bit more relevant because we haven't really seen much from it since she's been the first ever champion. So we'll have to wait and see how that goes. I do like the He'll Turn again. I really still feel bad for Bailey not getting a
Wrestlemani appearance there. We then get back to the main event with the new Catch Republic taking on American Made. So it looks like that Pete done since Tyler Bates come back, is back to a face and they're back together. You can see that Tyler Bay is enthusiastic getting on amongst the crowd, and Pete Dune looks extremely bitter. Not sure whether that's just him maintaining his character or just being how he is, but I think that I'd like to see Pete dunturn on Time Debate. Just seems that
Pete Dunn has elevated past being a tag team. I know that he didn't really do much as a single star, but he had some pretty notable feuds with Penta, with Seamus, and I think a good He'll run for Pete Dunn would be something of some more interest. Turning on Tyler Bait might reignite some fire that Pete Dunn sort of had last year. And as for Tyler Bay, he just got back from injuries, so he's looking just to get
some more momentum. They do get the victory here against American Made, who for some reason have just decided to be jobbers. I'm not really sure what they're doing with
them now. You think that they would be a bit more kind of like pushed because of the fact that we've got al Guando, Americano and the Creed Brothers are really really good athletes that could be a potential mid card faction here with Chad Gable potentially winning the Intercontinental title in the future, or American or Americano and the Creed Brothers potentially winning World Tag team as well. They need the World Tag Team division to kind of ramp up, so it definitely is sad to see them kind of
taking losses. I know we've got a Heel Champion Heell Champions at the moment with the New Day, but still having American Made building momentum, I think made the more sense with Newcatch Republic, who I don't think is a functional tag team anymore. I don't think they should just be a tag team. I think they should go off their separate ways. Pete Dunn should really just initiate that with a turn on his friend. So don't really see
why they were given the victory here. It didn't really make sense for booking, but nevertheless, they get the victory there and America made forced to take another loss. Speaking just quickly about the Tag Team division, I'm still shocked that the World Tag Team Champions were defended before the Tag Team Champions based on the events that happened on SmackDown, but I'll leave that for next week. Just thought i'd
put my two cents in that. We then basically close the show with Monday Night Raw Seth Rolins and Paul Haymon coming into the ring. Seth Rowlins basically saying that he was the winner of the main event and he is basically a revolutionary Paul Hayman joining the side of Seth Rowlins, which I'm loving so far. It does make sense for Paul Hayman to be a heel. It just again as mentioned last week again, and I keep going back to last week, Paul Haymon being a heel manager
just makes sense. Him being a face manager doesn't really do much for any superstar. I think Paul hayman Is best work is when he's a heel, so it's great that he's teamed up with Steph Rowlins here.
We then get.
Seampunk coming into the ring, attacking, trying to attack Seth Rowlins, stumping him into the corner, and as he continues to do that, he finally is able to get his hands on Paul Hayman as a themes. Then Seth Rolins rakes his eyes and then hits him with a curb stump basically. Then Paul Hayman gets on the mic and pretty much mentions that he is the reigning, defending, undisputed top guy
in WWE. To then Roman Rains' interrupts and comes and spears Seth Rolans Superman punches Paul Hayman and as he's about to hit the spear and this honestly shocked the shit out of me, sorry for my language, but bron Breaker, out of nowhere spears Roman reigns. So we get bron Breaker coming and joining allegiance with Seth Rolans and with Paul Hayman, which is incredible, incredible. If there was any person, I think a lot of people have said it, that
is the perfect Paul Hayman guy. It is bron Breaker. And now I can understand why they got him away from the Intercontinental title, because bron Breaker is the real deal and They are pushing this bloke to the moon. They have put a rocket on bron Breaker. They have associated him now into main event territory and this is just fantastic. Anyways, I'll continue. He gets out of the ring, goes to try attack Ramond rains Roman Rains Lands and
Uppercut and you can see Brun's reaction. You know what's about to happen, does a full ring sprint all around the ring and spears Roman reigns into the barricade, then brings him into the ring. Seth Rowlins then curb stumping the both of them, and you can see the new potential faction putting their hands up to the sky and
celebrating what is an extremely good victory. And you know what I found super powerful was when I saw bron Breaker get kissed by Paul Hayman on the forehead and just that hug there you can just oh, I love it. I love this. I think WWD did a really good job in booking this. I did personally at first thought thought that Seth Rowlins was going to team up with John Cena, But it seems as though they're going to
create another faction here. There might be another the Superstar into this, But I have a feeling that no, I feel like it's just going to be these two with Paul Hayman at the Helm. But you never know, it might be an evolution two point zero here. We'll have to wait and see. But I loved it. I love this booking. I love Brondbreaker being in those kind of higher ranks, getting away from the Intercontinental title, getting away from the mid card. He is the real deal. He
is definitely the future of this company. When he first started, he was just out there wrecking people. I'm just I'm just really happy with this, honestly, and I think that Seth Rolans teaming up with Paul Hayman is perfect. I remember Seth Rowlands being the face of the company with the authority, doing a fantastic job in that role. He is the perfect guy to be the main guy in this in this faction, and I'm extremely excited to see
what's going to happen here. It seems as though backlash is set up for these two fighting Seampunk and Roman reigns, but we'll have to wait and see as to what happens. Yeah, the raw after WrestleMania was fantastic. The two main event matches were great and that's going to be it for this week's main event review until next week. Hopefully we have a few more questions answered in regards to Becky Lynch's heel turn, and we're going to see hopefully this
new fanction be addressed, maybe with an extra superstar. We'll have to wait and see. But again, it's been your boy, Daniel. You've listened to another main event review and hope you guys enjoy the rest of your week. Cheers.
