Full Wrestlemania Lineup and MLW Lawsuit Update

things in my head. I thought we can talk about that later. It is Wednesday, and that means tonight it is aw Dynamite. They're still in California, Aaron Sacramento. We got six matches announced for the show tonight, including for the ae W TNT title. Wardlow we'll be defending against Powerhouse Hobbs. Powerhouse Hobbs is from the Bay Area, which

is a little bit south of Sacramento. But he is facing a man who is very, very angry because his car got broken into and everything was stolen, including his T and T tie. So we'll talk about the full lineup for the show tonight. We have got the MLW lawsuit they did refile they had until they had until Monday to refile, and they did, so we'll tell you what's going on there. We have a full lineup for

WrestleMania at this point. We've got looks like eight matches and these will be split between two nights and we'll find out what matches are on what night as things go on. We do know a couple of them because of things that people have said. We got another pay per view coming up, Backlash, which has now been booked for May sixth in San Juan, Porto Rico, and so you'll never guess through the host of that show is

going to be. We've got raw ratings for Monday Night with the return of John Cena, which did not do nearly as well as SmackDown with the Return of John Cena. And yes, while I did not get to personally do the world famous Raw reports, I do get to do the world famous n xt TV report today back in a moment with more Observer Live Bregg on the show. Bran Elbarez here Wrestling Observer Live, Mike simper viv also Wrestling Observer dot Com. Your tie line's kind of acting up.

I may have to have you switched channels okay, but we have a lot of news to get into here today. I'm gonna tell you this everybody, because this is a business. If you want the whole story about why I got no hair right now, you're gonna listen to the bran of any show last night. Spend good eight ten minutes on it. But the short version is, I thought I was really clever yesterday spoofing Vince McMahon for his mustache and his jet black hair, And so I might have

painted on a mustache. And perhaps because I do not want to dye my hair black, I got a cover up. They called it a temporary die that was designed to be sprayed into the part of your hair to just cover up the roots. And perhaps it was not designed to paint your entire head black. And suffice to say, it didn't come out. Can I ask you a question, yes, why did you have that product in range to grab? To begin with? Brian? Why didn't I what have the what?

In what? Talking to? Where? Did you have that problem? Why was it just sitting around the house? Have you been touching it up after all these years? I bought it yesterday before the show. In fact, if you want to find out exactly what I was in the store buying it. And this is an irony that nobody knows. So yesterday I told Mike that you know him and filth. You guys want to do the show whatever, but I have got to be on to talk about Vince's mustache.

And so if you recall, Mike, I told you that I was going to start the show and then and then you guys could go from there. Yes, but if you scroll back in your text messages, it would be at exactly eleven thirty eight am Pacific, which was two thirty eight Eastern. That's when I came up with the idea and stopped at the right aid. And in fact,

do you remember when I texted you ironically change of plans? Yes, yeah, plans change when ye when you was it was imperative him that I started to show well because I didn't know if I had everything done on time, and I wanted to sneak in like Vince snuck in. So yeah, I got a jet black root touch up. I sprayed it all over my head and uh, you know it's supposed to It was supposed it said it would wash out after one shampoo. Last one shampoo. It said wrong

and after and this. You know, sometimes I exaggerate and everything like that, but I'm not kidding. I put shampoo in and washed it out eight times, and nothing had changed. I couldn't get my fingers through my hair. Nothing. And I decided I was gonna wait, you know, six hours or so and try it again. I tried washing with shampoo. I tried washing with soap. I tried washing with uh don dish soap. Nothing. And this guy, this guy goes, why not just leave it black? Because it wasn't the

color that was the issue. It was that it's not the stuff that the cover up is not like a die okay. What it is is some substance okay. And the substance would not wash out of my hair. Some goo, yeah it was. It was literally goo. And like I tried to, you know, go like this, and then my fingers are stuck. I got like so at that point, it was like I just gotta shave my head. I

gotta shave it all out of my head. And I thought I thought I was gonna be que bald, like totally bald, but I managed to get it down to a number two and this stuff was all out for scalp at any point on your head there is it? Is it died or is it just your hair? I don't think so. I mean I can see my scalp, so the stuff's all out of it. Goly So. Anyway, Vince once again gets the last laugh on me. It

is like constant suffering. Yeah, I had pictures too, and I would like try and put my hands in my hair and then I like, you know, black goo all over my fingers. It was bad. Oh man. Now, at any point during your time as Vince, did you get the urge to harass anybody you're as signed any NDA's Well, thankfully, I I you know, I got out of the skies immediately. I was going to sneak in with my shirt off and do the full Vince McMahon walk. But I thought we might be booted out of off a twitch if

I did something like that. So didn't happen. You want, if you want more, you can listen to the Briant vide show last night. But tonight we got to talk about news. My head is not news. Okay, yes, Vince's mustache and his jet black hair was news, but my head is not news. Uh So, Sacramento Tonight Wardlow versus Powerhouse House for the TNT title, Jericho, Sammy and Daniel Garcia Berss Top Flight in aar Fox Orange Cassidy versus

Jay Lethal for the Atlantic title. Moxley and Claudio versus Alex Reynolds and John silber I, Blewe versus Ruby soho At. A promo from The Hangman Now is noted in the opening segment. On Twitter or Tuesday evening, Wardlow shared a video of his rental car, which had been broken into. Everything in the car was stolen, including his gear and

the T and T title. He said, well, thanks to the person who broken in my rental car, and literally they took absolutely everything from me, he said, my T and T title, my ring, gear, my boots, my whole life in those bags. I don't know if that means I'll have to beat the stuffing out of Hobbs in these clothes I'm wearing right now. But one way or another, I'm gonna make it a sacramento and we're gonna get this done. Whoever did this better, Thank god I didn't

catch you in the act. Your job would be as shattered as this glass is. So he's mad, and I guess we'll find out what they do on You know, if I had to guess, I've been pushing for Hobbs to win the title for like forever, but I don't think it's happening tonight because they just put the title on Wardlow. And my my feeling as to why this is being booked this way is that, yes, he's not winning the title, Yes he's not winning the belt in Sacramento, but he got the big win in his hometown. He's

getting the big push in his hometown. He will lose the match in the end, but he got all of that other stuff. That's what I figure is going to happen here. I mean I would be you know, but why is it necessary? Yeah, becauuse the match he won was to give him a title match. But this wasn't the next match that Wardlow had, or it wasn't the next thing that he had to do. He could get a big win over somebody to night look dominant, have

the crowd go crazy for it. You know, he can do something diabolical and there you go, and he can you know, challenge Wardlow that way? Why are we rushing into having to have that title match on this Dynamite I'm sure they want to sell tickets because he he's somewhat local, I guess, but you couldn't put him against somebody else, any other name on the roster and saw a ticket for it's got to be a TNT title match. Well, I will say this, I was baffled on the cow

Palace show that he was on the show. But he wrestled for like ten seconds and he was gone. I will laugh if you know his music hits tonight and he walks out in Wardlow's gear and the TNT title because he was the one who broke into Wardlow's car. Actually, that would be quite the little angle right there, but I don't think it's happening. MLW refiled the final day they could have been their lawsuit. They did that Monday.

It was filed and if San Jose again, which I thought they weren't gonna be able to file at San Jose, but they did, calling it predatory conduct. MLW is continuing to claim WWE is impeding their ability to compete in the licensing that's programming for distribution on streaming services. Continues to threaten to deprive MLW of its ability to license

it's programming for distribution on cable. They claim they are quote at risk of the business being irreparably destroyed, and so you know, you know these things are written and a naked attempt to restrain competition through the abuse of its market power. WWE, through Paul leavec It's then executive vice president, called MSG to insist MSG canceled the show

with a Ring of honor in New Japan. Unable to resist the pressure from the industry behemoth, MSG succumbed and withdrew from the Ring of Honor agreement and canceled the Ring of Honor show while Sinclair threaten to sue MSGU over the agreement. The show was rescheduled. Rh and New Japan were forced to incurse significant legal expense to vindicate their legal rights and a defend against WWE's anti competitive behavior. So it is unknown, it says, when the court will

make their next ruling. Original lawsuit was filed in January of twenty twenty two. And we're back in a moment to talk of this plenty more right, Tom Wrestling Observer Live bag on the show. Bright Albert is here Wrestling Observer Live except for bed also Wrestling Observer dot Com. So WrestleMania's coming up. Here are the matches thus far for this show. We have Roman Reigns against Cody Rhodes

for all the belts. We have Charlotte against Rhea for the women's title, SmackDown Bianca versus Zasca for the Raw women's title. We have Austin Theory against John Cena for the US title. Man that segment Monday, Holy smokes, we have got Oh you're over there right, I don't know, am I? You are all right? We got Gunther defending against somebody. Brock Leser will be pacing Oh Moss can

wait for that one, and seth Rawlins versus Logan Paul. Monday, they did a challenge and set up tris Stratis Becky Lynch and Leda versus Damage Control, which is Bailey, Dakota Kai and EO Sky. And originally there's gonna be a women's tag team title match at WrestleMania, but currently the women's tag team champions are in this sixth person. So either there is going to be a title change where beck He and Leda lose the tag titles to somebody and then we set up a title match for Mania,

or that's not going to happen. My guess is, since we have about a month left, that is what's going to happen, because it doesn't make sense to tie up the tag titles in a sixth person when you have two Knights of WrestleMania, and right now we have eight matches, that's one night of WrestleMania. These will be these current matches will be split between both Knights, but the point is eight matches on one show, eight matches on another show.

We have eight more matches that we need, so I presume there's gonna be a tag title change, but well, you know what makes the most sense there is to have Rhonda and Shana win the belts and then defend them against Tigan Knox, which who is one of Triple Ah's favorites. She is somebody that has had so many injuries and so much in her path to even get to this point where she could be at a Rustlemania and Natalia as her partner, who is a Rustlemania stalwart

ever year, getting on the card. So that would make them most sense to actually have some functionality with those titles and to get all of those names I just mentioned on the card, and then as noted, we have got the Backlash show May sixth from Colosseo de Puerto Rico Jose Miguel leg something or other. It's in San Juan. It is the home of Bad Bunny, so he will be hosting the show whatever that means, and he'll be out. It'll be his first appearance since the twenty twenty two

Royal rumble. And he said, in two thousand and five, when I was a kid. God, ouch, that's the year I started all of this, not even the whole thing, just a website. The other thing was was a decade before that. In two thousand and five, when I was a kid, I was not able to attend New Year's Revolution at l Colisseo. Finally, eighteen years later, ww return to the island with a massive event, and this time I won't miss it. So there you go. Is it thirty five years this year since Bruiser Brody? Is it

my math right with eighty eight there? So it has been a long time. And I've been watching some of those WWC shows that are on wop on on Saturdays and Sundays, and that is a scene that needs as much help as it can get now. Obviously economically structurally that place Puerto Rico is. You know, they got bigger concerns than wrestling, but it ought to be interesting to

see exactly what it's like. And frankly, I'm interested to see exactly what WWE does in the week leading up to the event, because obviously they like being involved in these big events. They like again getting themselves in and doing a munch of charitable works and things like that. I'd like to see what they actually do for the people of Puerto Rico to put on that show. Oh alrighty the Raw ratings from Monday, So this was a return of John Cena. They guys, remember when John Cena

returned at that SmackDown show showed great. John Cena really moves those numbers. But I didn't really do that this time. So the Raw show built around appearances by both John Cena and Logan Paul. They were trying to get all of the alleged you know, big market names are Raw one point eight three million viewers point five two in eighteen to forty nine and the hourly numbers. It opened at one point eight nine million, which is not great. The good news is it didn't really drop a lot

throughout the show. One point eight nine million first hour, one point eight six million second hour, and they held to a one point seven four million third hour, which my guess is when Sena was out there, it went way up and then went way down, but it averaged one point seven four million viewers, so it was just, you know, it was just a number. But you know, as we've mentioned before, this goes for both a W and WWE. Everybody gets all fixated on the average viewership

number for the show. But we got to talk about the cable charts, and you know, sometimes people go, ah, it's not about it. It It is about eighteen forty nine, because there's a cable chart and that's how the shows are ranked. So if we're about something else, they would rank them by something else. If we're about the number of people that just watch the show, wud be ranked by that. It's not. It's eighteen to forty nine. And they were first on cable, and they weren't just first

on cable. They were first on cable by a wide margin. With Below Deck doing a point two seven and Tucker Carlson doing a point two seven. They both did a point two seven is two and three Rot did a point five two, So you know. That's great. That's all there is to say about it. So why it was down, Why Johnson didn't move numbers like he has before, I don't know. Maybe maybe people knew he was showing up to see theory. That may maybe that was it too.

But our plus three and plus I obviously it's a thing. It's important to a much lesser degree. But plus three I would think is relatively important because wouldn't broadcasters and add people, you know, the ones who are buying commercials and all that. Wouldn't they actually be happy within three days of you checking out product and being up on it.

Is that a number that they care about? I don't think they care that much about it because it will be honest, if you record raw on Monday and then you decide you're gonna watch it on Wednesday, I mean, because you ain't sitting there watching those commercials. Dude, you're skipping through the commercials. Well that's true and true. And you know the other thing too. I mean, listen, here's

anything about plus three. You know when when a show like Rod is a point five two, and then you know second place in third place are doing what they do point two seven? I mean your plus three ain't

gonna it ain't gonna made much of a difference. And you know, everyone has a plus three, and I would think that for the most part, the plus threes are all similar, with the exception of you know, if there's a sporting event, I mean, if there's a big game, I mean, no one's skipping the game and then watching it three days later. I mean, that's why. That's why sports or DVR proof, which they're not so anything that's not a sport. I mean, your plus three's are all

probably going to be relatively the same. It's not going to make a big difference in the cable charts or the overall about that. Sometimes with Rampage where it's like I wonder if people like three days later or even like if they hear really good matches on there, but it's like I don't have the time to get to it, or the rest of the show wasn't that good or whatever it was. I wonder it's like, do people go back around to it if they hear that that TAKESHTA.

I know it was on Dark, but let's just say t kesh Jack cart Wheel, you know you heard that match? Was that good? At some point do they even go back around to it, or is it just once four days happens, it might as well be gone. Well, it happens because we had gotten plus three numbers before, and there are people that watched the show on a significant delay.

And you know, Tony Kahn in the in the media deal on Sunday, you know, he was talking about that one pay per view, Remember that one pay per view that went like well over four hours, and there was like a game and they were winning for the game to end before they put the big matches out there, and so it ended up going really long, and you know, yeah, his theory was, well, there might be people watching the game, and then you know, if we saved the big matches

till the game is over, we might get a bunch of late buys. So he claims that that happened, you know, not like you know, one hundred thousand, but it did make a difference. And so you know, if there is a if there's word of mouth for a great match on an AW show or you know, a raw sho or whatever, people will go back and watch it. But it's not really in numbers that are going to make like a substantial difference. I mean, you have a core audience that is watching raw, that is watching a w

and that is definitely watching rampage. You've got a core audience, okay. And the key is, you know, for a wrestling company, if you're running for AW, for example, I mean, yeah, you can get some extra people plus three, but what you want is for the people to be invested in your angle so they'll actually buy the pay per view. For WW it's less important because they're on peacock. It's like, you know, you're not asking them to spend forty dollars or fifty dollars or whatever an a w pay per

view is. And you know, the one thing that we've also learned from the AW pay per views is that whether they have a big number or a small number for a go home show, that really does not have a massive bearing on how the pay per view is going to do. Your pay per view is going to

be purchased by your hardcorees. So if your show does eight hundred thousand or it does one point two million, you know, all of those extra people above eight hundred thousand, they may not be buying the pay per view at all. Your goal is to convince the people under eight hundred thousand to buy that pay per view, and apparently they did it, because this weekend show apparently to better than Full Gear. That's where the early numbers showed. So there

you go. This isn't really related, but I'm interested to know what exactly Reels would have gotten on Peacock. I wonder if Peacock goes out and actually gives a number or touts how great it did streaming wise, or something like that. I'm interested to see if there's anything about that at all, because if you were to click into Peacock when you have the channels, at least for the weekend, it was towards the top. Now they've knocked it down a lot lower and they're pushing their own stuff. But

I'm wondering how that did. I'm also wondering if anybody did watch ourm Andy MLW commercials getting through backing them over with more Observer Live begging the show. Bran Albert is here wrestling Observer Live. Mike zipper V also wrestling Observer dot Com. So listen, I'm an honest man, this is a good show. This NXT show had some good wrestling, some really good wrestling, and you know it wasn't perfect. A couple of things are a little weird. Couldn't have

started off any better. Hey, this Tony de'angelo died jack Jailhouse Street Funny Stratton, did they come on? Cares about that Kyle Lee dude? Or come on, it's twenty twenty two. You can't be salibating over these ladies. Tony D'Angelo and dying jacketed jailhouse Street fight was a great match. Although you know, my new most hated thing in wrestling is get a chair thrown in your face. I don't like to talk about the these fans, but god damn, these

stupid fans. Stop chanting for tables and matches where dudes are killing each other with far more violent things. Sean Moxley has got barbed wire wrapped around his hand. He's got a fork. By the way, you guys should watch that match. He should watch how he uses that fork. Okay, And he's he's jabbing this guy, bust puncturing him and

busting him open and scratching with all this stuff. And these fans are chanting, we want tables and the same thing in this match, like they're using chairs, they're hitting these hard slams on the floor. They're using all these gimmicks and these fans we want tables. Get out of here,

you geeks. So anyway, the wrestling was real good. They took hard Bumpsticheck always does crazy stuff sports stacks, The Stacks tries to get involved, he gets killed here, He tries to get involved, he gets killed there, tries to get involved, and then you know the end. Die Jacket's gonna slam the door on Tony, but all Stacks, what a loyal Friendy. He throws his body between the door in the in the cage, he just gets squished again, this poor guy. And finally as he gets booted in

the crowd, Tony ends up. He hits Djack with a series of crowbar shots. There's a lot worse than a wood table, and he throws him in the cell and he locks the door and he wins. Dude, all I want in wrestling is if you advertise his stipulation, bro, just give it to me. And they advertise a jailhouse street fight, and brother, you couldn't ask for more. On NXT, very good opening match, Yes, and Rock sand did a promo and she's gonna walk in his stand and Deliverer's champion.

She's gonna beat Miko to night. Then we had the latest and the greatest current storyline in wrestling. So the Fornicator has offered to go talk to Keyana because things just haven't been the same since Fallon screwed everything up on Valentine's Day. So he goes to meet her ear in her office or strange office, and there's a big Valentine's bouquet of flowers on the desk, and he goes, you know, old Brooks just has him in the same since Valentine's Day, But man, look at those flowers he

got you. Man, look at that. And he takes the card and she grabs the car. She hurriedly puts it away, and he says. She goes, he has such a big heart. Who could not love him? Briggs says, listen all I got or Fallon and the Virgin. I just want to be happy. Keiana says, you know, I've been really busy lately, but I just want to make this right. Briggs said, Man the Virgin, he's terrified of making a mistake. Run

and she goes, yeah, wow, I appreciate this. I appreciate you coming in I'm gonna go give him a call, let me write it down on my thing, and off he goes. And you know, there wasn't subtle. But they're also not treating you like an idiot who sent these flowers. They were not sent by the Virgin. We'll get back to that. Gallus cuts a promo one Pretty Deadly, and pretty Deadly shows up in the crow's nest. Gallus wants to fight. Pretty Deadly doesn't want to fight, and I'm

sitting there and I'm just going, wait a second. Pretty Deadly wanted the tag titles. Now Gallus is offering them a match, but they won't take. Like what's happening. Then it's explained Pretty Deadly only wants to fight Gallus if the titles are on the line. And so I guess we just have to wait for Gallus to put these damn titles on the line, because otherwise we're just spinning around in circles like this poor Virgin. We had a very wacky lyra Valkira segment. She's speaking WWE mumbo jumbo.

She wasn't title shot. I don't know what's going on here. Eliot Dragona vows to break the will of JD McDonough. Then we had a fun match Dude brown Breaker and the Creeds against Gener Mahal and Indue Share. This match was fun. They're just they showed dragon Ly out there by the way. He's there. He waves. Everybody's got his mask on. He's dragon Ly. So they brawled over the place early. The Creeds first, they're just throwing these big dudes all over. Big soup plex, Big soup plex. These

giant dudes bail outside. All three the baby face including brown Breaker, giant flip dives at the outside. I'm like, holy smokes. They get some heat during the break. Then it breaks down into a six way brawl. Creeds double team Veer, Brutus hits him with the brutus bomb, they get the pin. That was a good match. That was fun ball. That's what Big Joseph called it to the butter ball and then adjusted it to the brutus ball. But yeah, that was that is what I want to

see and look into. Share needs to get better as a team because they just need experience. The Creeds are naturals at this. Them on the main roster one day again. You know, it's a long way off, but it's nice to think about. Then we had a train all concerned about Shawn Michaels going out for Grayson's show here, but Sean says, I think I got it, So, dude, I gotta give these guys credit. And actually I don't know if I should give them credit or if I should

just talk about how beloved Johnny Gargano is. So Grayson Waller's out, there was Shawn Michaels, and you know, they're going back and forth and they're talking about bread and you won't give me a shot. And you know what I liked about it is Grayson goes, Dude, I'm the biggest star here. I got so much potential. I just can't get a break from you. And you know I hated this because you know in storyline it's like, what

are you talking about? Dude? But Sean, Sean Michaels flatout says, like the exact same thing I said on this podcast. He goes, dude, what are you talking about? You got a championship match in a steel cage and Valentine's destruction or whatever, and you're lost. So what's your problem? You add your opportunity and you're a loser. Yeah, we we screwed you. You got screwed in that match. We got you a match inside of a steel cage. You lost. That's how it goes. And so now Grayson's mad because

it dude's right. And then, you know, he says, you only are in this position because your friend Hunter had a heart attack, and Sean says, well, listen up, my friend asked me to do this and I did, and now I'm here and is my deal? So what do you want to do about it? And so finally, you know,

Grayson challenges him to a match at Standing Deliver. He challenges Sean Michaels to a match at Standing Deliver, and Sean takes off his jacket and then he goes, you know what, everybody, including the best in the world, because he's referring to Brian Danielson, who wanted a match with Sean Michaels Wrestlemanian Sean wouldn't do it. He goes, everybody, including the best in the world, is challenge to this tree match at Mania. He goes, it's been you know,

a decade or whatever. They backed the truck up to my house. I know the guy by name. It ain't happening. Nothing would thrill me more than to face you and standing the liver. But there is somebody here who will whip your ass. They want to whip your ass a lot more than I do. And so Johnny Gargano's music hits, and listen, on paper, you are teasing the return of Sean Michael's. Okay, you're flat out challenging this guy to a match, and on paper, he's gonna say no, Johnny

Gargano is gonna face you. This sounds like something the fans might not accept, but boy, they hit Johnny's music and these fans went nuts for this guy. They were not let down. They were so happy to see Johnny wrestling back. He comes out and they're going crazy, and and he accepts, and so they're doing that match. Now everybody here is saying, oh, look at that. Vince shows up at Raw. Now Johnny is on NXT. I don't know.

I don't know all of the details. Okay, but this match for this show had been planned for a long time, long before a Mustachio and Vince McMahon returned. It has nothing to do with Vince being back. This was always their plan ever since you know, Grayson Waller started going nuts on Sean Michaels all the way back to then the idea had been Johnny Gargano and Grayson Waller at the show. So I know everyone's thinking it it had

to be got your channel sucks. But anyway, yes, say, look, as long as there's a Triple H, there's probably going to be a Johnny Gargano in a Tomasso chompo. So I think people should be happy about that and actually think about that. Sometimes he's not getting buried. Look even if that's the case, look at it this way. Triple H knew enough and they did enough where he comes down on Wednesday, where hey, he is going to be cheered. He's not going to be made fun of on commentary

or any of that sort of stuff. So you know, good play to them. We're going to figure out your tailind thing. Then we had GG Dolan and j C J and just their first match right here on TV, and it was there and the baby Face won and then JAC beat her up afterwards. And we've seen this a million times inwe the baby Face gets the revenge, but then they get attacked. And now I supposed to

care about seeing them get their revenge. I already saw it So anyway, Fallon meets with Brooks Fellon Enley and she's apologizing it about Valentine's Day, and you know, Brookes says, hey, listen, I'm sorry it took me so long to get over this. The Virgin, I should mention, I should call him the virgins. Guys know what I'm talking about. The Virgin's all I you know, I forgive you. I'm feeling better now. So then Briggs shows up. He gets he goes talk to

Keana of a man, those flowers you got? Are they look great? And Brooks kind of gets a look on his face and goes, A camel was on the desk? What she say? And he goes, She's gonna call you? And right then the phone rings and the Virgin's all excited. He picks it up. It's Fallon and he goes running off in excitement. And after he leaves, Fallon looks at the four nicator. She goes, I knew it. He didn't

get her those flowers? Who got her the flowers? And then Briggs, poor Briggs, goes, damn it, Falon, I hate to admit it, but you were right. What are we gonna do about it? She says, don't worry. I have a plan. Ron Breaker comes out, sence up the match with Carmelo Hayes at the show, and we'll go over all the details different shows. But the point is, even though they've been doing this thing where we're supposed to believe that the fans have turned on bron Breaker, now

they've like totally dropped it. He's out. There's a baby face, Carmelo said, there's a total baby face. They're both putting each other over. They're gonna have a baby face match at the show for the title, and I guess we got some time to, you know, do whatever. Maybe Braun turns on him or whatever, but right now it's a baby face match, So there you go. Loser goes to wwah. That's that's seems to be the scenario. I may have to mute you for a second my ears or being

blown out. I'll come back to you. THEA is meditating with Tyler Bate. He's trying to, you know, teach her how to not be afraid of of of Ava. So they do the Andre Chase Joe Gacy match, and it's pretty good match. I mean, these guys are good workers.
