RAW Report/Otani Update

Show is what it basically was. Let's tell you all about that here today on the program, and of course all the rest of the news as well. And we got an update today on Shinjiro Otani. Otani will undergo surgery as a result of the spinal cord injury he suffered during a zero one show on Sunday. The promotion centered an update on Tuesday, noting the surgery will take place on Wednesday, April thirteen, and is being done too

to prevent future deterioration. Otani incurred a cervical injury after taking a German suplex into the turnbuckle during a match with Takashi Sagia remained motionless on the mat. After taking the move, fans ruts to leave the venue. Ring ropes were removed, and eventually he was transported to the hospital. He has not been able to move his limbs since the injury. Numerous personalities from around the wrestling rolfs and that well wishes to Itani on social media, sending a

rials of positive vibes. So Shinger Otani said, Adam Pierce joined me and doing the same if you please. So O Joe wrote, praying for you this morning, my brother. I know your spirit is too strong to be broken. Best wishes to Otani for a speedy recovery, wrote Chris Daniels, and Stardom s Kyrie also announced that she will be donating a portion of the proceeds from recent merchandise sales to Otani's recovery. So obviously the best wishes to him

as he undergoes this surgery. No update other than that still cannot move his arms and legs and uh see what happens after this surgery. But very very sad story. And we'll give you updates as we get him. But that's pretty much all we know. And it's been several days so it would be time for some good news if we could get it more. After the break, we got the Raw Report. Mike simper Bev joins us. A lot to get into today back in a moment Wrestling Observer Live back of the show. Bright albur is here

Wrestling Observer Alive. Mike supper Bev, also of Wrestling Observer dot Com. A lot to get into here today. The raw report is always. We have the towny update before the break and UH and a lot of news. Guys. Seen Sonic the Hedgehog, by the way, I liked it, Mike, No, you haven't seen Sonic too. I have not yet known. Oh my god, where I didn't see one? I don't know if you have to, but well it was for my My two daughters are big fans of Sonic the Hedgehog.

They've they've seen the first movie a thousand times. So we found the little Fairfax Theater here wherever we're at, which was built and I think the nineteen fifties hasn't changed since. And I got tickets for everybody. We were gonna go yesterday after the Filthy show, and UH went in there smack dab in the middle of the theater, great seeds and uh, Hono, it lasted thirty seconds, started screaming, mostly because like they were playing previews for these like

war movies. I don't even know why they didn't have kids previews. They had like adults previews before a kid's movie. So like this bomb goes off and it's really loud. She starts screaming. We take her out of the take her to the theater, and my my wife text and says, uh, let me know when when something happy is happening, and

I'll try and bring her back in. So the movie starts and there's a brief scene with Dr robot Nick, who is by far the highlight of the movie, Jim Carey, and then they next scene is, uh, you know, Sonic and his buddy or on a boat on a lake. What could be more serene? They're on a boat on a lake fishing. So I text my wife, Okay, it's

a pretty calm scene. Bring her back in. So she brings uh back in and Hono sits down and she's looking at the screen and there's there's as she calls him, Sonic hedgehog, and he's sitting on the boat and uh, Sonic falls asleep on the boat and so he's sleeping, he's eeping, and also he just falls overboard into the water and how long he goes? Ah, she started screaming and crying and that was it. We got out the theater. She never came back. Was there at least a pretty

sweet arcade she could play on? And so they just walked all over, they went to playgrounds. She got her her she got her money's worth. I sure didn't. But anyway, Paisley at the time of her life watching this movie, I was gonna say she unfazed by all that stuff that she tried to help. She didn't like that. She didn't like the spoiler or the what do they call him? The previews either And there were a couple of parts of the movie that she didn't really like, mostly because

the movie so loud. Like if we would have watched the movie at the house with the volume on like nine, they would have had the time of their lives. But they cranked this volume up, and every time there's any anything loud, it's just like it's two. It's ear piercing for me. And I'm a forty six year old guy, who you know, my hearing should be going. But my god. So yeah, paysally at the time of her life. So I recommend the movie especially uh. I won't give me spoilers.

So a couple more years to go on the IMAX presentations for the kids. Dude, that's gonna happen alright. A couple of other news notes here we have Dave Meltzer given update out why Ray Mysterio was not on Raw last night. He had a medical issue, so I I won't. I won't get on him. Although the funny thing is they didn't. They didn't think he know showed like Bandido did. Well, no, but here's the deal. Here's the deal. Yeah, you know

what happened when Bandyo no show? They go, hey, the guy ain't here, he didn't get on his plane or whatever. Instead they spend him. They spent a week advertising is gonna be Ray Mysterio versus Vier. And then they do the show and there's no Raymisterio. He's just not there. And Dominic comes out and Dominic starts doing the match. It's like, where's his dad at? You know, you don't like to see a kid without their dad. So he comes out, he gets killed, it gets murdered, and then

you're expecting Ray to show up. There's no I don't think that they had mentioned one thing about where Ray was, at least with Ria Ripley, who there was another advertised match they didn't do. Ria Ripley wasn't there, but they at least told us and I quote, she's in protocol. What does that mean? It sounds like she's gonna be sent to outer space or something. She's in protocol. She won't be here tonight because she's in protocol. So we're

presuming that next week she'll be out of protocol. We also to assume that means COVID, since I don't know when, I don't know, so he's in So so it's not the concussion protocol or the COVID protocol, which are the only two protocols. They don't like to say the word COVID. They never have, nor do they like to say the word concussion. So my guess is it's either concussion or COVID because they're in protocol with Ray. I just don't know why they can't say. It was a lingering effect

from Veer and Dominick. He told Dominick not to do it, but dominic said, to hell with it. Um um, taking this guy on and then do it that way. It's just I was surprised again if they who knows what this issue is, Maybe it's gonna linger for a long time, but I would have figured they would have played it into Vier. You know, Vir's attack last week, since I

want to get him over as this killer. I mean think Dominick went on in the ambulance that that was gonna be the way you think, Well, they didn't do that. He just wasn't there at all. He was nowhere to be seen. There are a lot of things that we're all explained on this show. You know what, I hope I hope next week. I hope Cody Rhodes comes out next week and he says there's a lot of violence on this show. After all Vier badly, he injured raymisterio and then Miss has to go no in protocol because

that's the gimmick. Cody uses all the banded words and then he has to be corrected. That's literally what the gimmick is right now. He was on the show last night and he said the word belt and Miss like, there's the funny thing is we all hear these things and we talk about these things but I'm sure that some of those you know stand up for w W blokes to actually don't believe it, but it's all true.

And when when Cody mentioned that he wanted to win the belt, MSS literally said, and these were his exact words, it's a title, a belt holds your pants up. That was the exact thing that we had heard for years, and it was incredible to actually hear them use that terminology on Monday Night. Rod and he also said wrestlers and miss said, no, they're superstars. So you know, the thing about the belt just used to be a heel line, like I mean, I heard Dick Slater did that with

Rufus R. Jones. It's not belt Rufus Championship, you know, trying to put some you know, some some spice on there.

And it's been said before the fact that they take it to such an extreme as hilarious, but the fact that they're also talking about it, I mean, wrestling is a part of Cody's introduct I mean, I don't know how long they're gonna push this or how much they're gonna go with this, but yeah, I mean it does stand out that Cody, he is the wrestler he is the one talking about the second generation and all that

sort of stuff. So it's not even that it actually likes his gimmick is that he is an a E W wrestler that has gone in w W E. Because in a W they say belt. In a W they say wrestler, and you do al say saying a W. I can't stay in the air the S word, which he almost said and then corrected himself. So is he's

an A W guy? Well, I don't. I don't know about that as much as they're letting well, they're letting them be Cody Rhodes right now, or at least they're they're presenting him as ww e's version of Cody Rhodes, which is a lot closer uh to you know, what he's been doing than they do with a lot of other people, you know what I mean. So how long they'll let that continue on, you know, I don't know, but it is a refreshing little burst wind on our program with him there and doing this stuff. Yeah, the

S word, I can't say it on the air. There's a radio show. Do you have to mention this? Every week that we're on the radio, and there's commercials and if you're watching it on Twitter, YouTube, you're just watching it in an alternative medium. But we're a radio show. You can't say that word on the radio. Turn her s and p has not let us go with a stuff that's well and Byeline yells at me and suspends me and all that sort of stuff. So obviously we

didn't get it passed through. When we're able to say s on the radio freely, I'm sure that we will, of course we won't. Professionals here. You you know, Granny there Day goes she never listened to this show because of all my swearing, and I explained I don't do any swearing on this show. Didn't She used to like listening to the show because there was no sword. I think I think you ran her off, Mike, Oh, Tony, con did well, both of you. Hey, I never dropped. I never dropped any m F or F s on

the air. You have no we had to break everybody. We're gonna move on Wrestling Observer Live. It seems blokes here clamoring for this raw report. Ah, oh god, what is this? What? Yeah? I didn't want to talk about this and actually, uh da've wanted to talk about it last night, but I forgot to bring it up the Spence UGA's fight this weekend. Yeah, what's this idiot Stroman doing. Oh boy, you saw my tweet? A No, it was

your tweet. Well, a couple of days ago, he was trying to talk to a fan who said, man, what you do is so based, you know, giving him accomplished. Oh yeah, this idiot and he's yelling at a fan because he's so stupid. Hey, listen, I mean this with all due respect, this is one of the dumbest guys, like in the history of man. Okay, God bless the guy,

but like, he's so dumb. It's one thing when some random moron on Twitter or a box starts doing the paid by Tony Khan thing, but this, this idiot actually thinks that Tony Khan pays Dave. And I like the level of stupidity to actually believe that is unfathomable to me. Like I read, I read Twitter and everything like that, and you know, I haven't think this person can't possibly be real, And then you realize that they're actually not real. They're just an egg an egg bot probably sent here

by Captain robot Nick. Now they think about it, But this dummy, this guy, I gotta I gotta two and a half. You ol, who's smarter than Stroman? I swear to god, she is smarter than braun Stroman. I'm not gonna say any more about this dummy. What an idiot? Like, seriously, what an idiot? Remember remember that one thing where he said something he was really stupid about it, and he

said something stupid on Twitter. It's probably like fifty times and then like a bunch of people, you know, talk to him privately, you realize how stupid he was, and so he kind of sort of apologized. You know, So she s the entire time Shane McMahon was shooting one day. Yeah, of course he was. Of course he was. That was ripping on the square in hindsight. Gole, dude, I got a pair of shoes right here, These shoes right here smarter than Stroman? Do you it me to go on?

We need a presentation of things smarter than braun Stroman. We we need to have these No, the thing should me find out what bron Stroman is smarter than? That? Should be the real you know, what is broun Stroman smarter then a Dodo bird? I'm trying thing I mean, I know some stupid dogs, so there there are some dogs that I would argue that Braun Stroman is smarter than but I don't want to get on that rant again.

Can you ever figure out what dog you're watching is? Yes, you were watching a dog yesterday with a dog, fluffy dog. That dog was smarter than Stroman. I mean, come on, how about the twitch chat right now? How are they doing? Don't you want to know who's smarter than Stroman? The YouTube chat? Ouch? Okay? Can I move on now? Stroman, you are banned from Wrestling Observer Alive. You're not allowed to come on. You're too stupid to come on the show.

Do you understand Ryan and Cumberland smarter than Braun Stroman. If you can figure out how to on block him, you would bring him back on before Braun Stroman. Yeah, Honolulu smarter than Stroman, hollellulu. And he's still a young man with his whole life to go. He's got a lot more to learn at this point, Braun, you know those brain cells are gonna start going one by one. And oh, John and Memphis is way smarter than Stroman. He's a gimmick, but he's he's significantly smarter. Yeah, no,

bron Stroman allowed on this show. Don't even ask Braun whatever your real name is. I don't think bron Stroman is your real name either. Should I throw that in there? You know who else is not paid by Tony Khan? Bron Stroman? Anyway, I was gonna do rob, but I wasted too much time talking about this dummy. Friday's Russell made a thirty eight fallout Editions SmackDown two point two three zero million viewers on Fox, down five points five

percent from the previous week's episode. Second large stieties for the show since March four point six zero rating, the eighteen to forty nine demo on four pc from the previous week, and much of other stuff here. I'm still on Stroman. You and it, I mean, are you gotta be kidding me? Is it just a stupidity? Is it the fact that this stupid thing is being repeated again by somebody? Is it just him in general and his hair? You know? Well, no, I have another gifts a guy personally.

But the fact of the matter is, if you're so dumb that you believe that Tony Khan is actually paying Dave and I, it's one thing to be some dumb fan on the internet. But bro, you're in the business, you have connections. You could very easily find out if this is true or not. Well, were you on Reddit and you saw the fake invoice, like the fakest invoice that you could ever possibly photoshop together? That Dave and

I getting paid or whatever? You believe Tony CON's tweet the other day by by two dollar a month paycheck. I mean, come on, this is this is insane, stupidy. I will apologize for calling Braun an idiot if he smartens up about how stupid he is about this. You know what I'm saying. You understand what I'm saying. If you if you're smart en up, I will no longer call you stupid. But until then, idiot. Now, how do

you believe this? How do you believe this? Do you also need an apology out of him or just the exciting apology? And he's an idiot? So I'm just, I'm just, I'm just I can't wrap my head around this being so dumb that you actually believe that. I gotta find this stupid interview. Where did he say this? Somebody give me a link to this interview. EC three has been on this show. Correct, Yes, he's in the promotion with

EC three. Yes? Is he then thinking that EC three is a bought and paid for stooge because he appeared on this I don't know. With you, I don't know. You've got some answers for on the Maybe you want to hear them not on this show because you're not coming on. But maybe you're You're throwing more people than you think under the bus with such a comment. Hey, listening their integrity, that's fine if you if you're that dumb,

then that's on you, not on me. Rampage did six hundred thousand, up thirty one point six percent from the previous week, best audience for the show since January fourth on Cable. In the eighteen forty nine demo with the point to five rating ties of January episode for Rampages, Heighest reading the in the demo, I was just reading on the internet about how oh, Rampage doing terrible because it's taped. People won't watch if they know the spoilers.

What Meanwhile, we got six hundred thousand viewers and a point to five here for a tape show. Is it the problem? Maybe? Maybe it's a fact that it's on Friday nights at ten. Yeah, that's oh my god. And now are these a W fans that are leading this charge on what we gotta be live? We will, you know effort. Let's do it live. That's what we need to do. Is that what day? And Dagan sent in the article. Let me find this article here. Thank you, Dagon. I can't believe I'm wasting time on this. You know

what comes after it is the raw report, so it's understandable. Yeah, well that's all. That's the most of the news anyway, aside from the news that Chris Dickinson his dream has come true making New Japan is Pro Wrestling Home officially signed an agreement with New Japan allows him to work

in these in the US and internationally. So he has God Bless his soul in his in his Instagram thing, He's like, there's all these people that wanted me to sign elsewhere, and I'm sure that there were people that said, man, I'd love to see an a W or something like that. I think any Chris Dickinson fan, though, who's watched this guy and seen him throughout evolve and all the stuff that he does, like that dude is a new japan dude.

That dude is a Japanese wrestling dude. So I'm really happy he's got his chance in the promotion that he always wanted to go for. Alright, Braun, This is from Ringside News recently joined the bandwagon of wrestlers and fans who mocked Tony Khan for his tweet about a network of bot's disparaging a w Stroman called out Cohn once again. He claimed Tony Khan pays dirt cheet writers and claims his wrestlers are free to work where they want. That

is not the case, he noted. Stroman criticized KHN for blackballing a w talent for appearing in the Control your Narrative promotion. Gee, why would you do that? This is the same guy said maybe I'll read the bronze voice. This is the same guy that pays the dirt sheets and says his wrestlers are free to do whatever. But black bald two words by the way, them from c y N shows why because we're a f and threat. That's more of Vince mcman. You got blue balls. Look

at this guy. He told a fan that watching Dynamite was quote punishment, So why are you watching it then, you dummy? What else did he say here? Anything else? That's about it for here? Yeah, he's one of those guys that doesn't want to watch it. It's it's punishment, but he watches anyway, apparently hate watching those people that hate listening to this show and things like that. You know, of course those people always forget me. Hates listening to this show. It is forced to against his own will.

He can't help it, but listen torture to listen to that observer live. I can't help myself though anyway, ohbraun mm hmm, talking about everybody else on all these dirt sheats and everything. I mean, you can always bring back the old how's your territory doing? You know, keep that one in your pocket to throw out on the next nime. But I don't know what's a dirt eat anyway at this point now de Sean ross Sap doesn't write anything down on paper and send it out to anybody, Like,

is is that a dirt cheat? John Pollock has been around this game a long time. Post wrestling is fantastic, Like are they a dirt sheet? You know what? What constituted dirty? Just people that you don't like or what exactly is it? What? I'm not sure you ever seen those giant dinosaurs. Their brain is the size of a walnut,

even though they're so big. Hadrosaur. If we get if we would get like a stag of Saurus, a Brontosaurus and bronze stroman on Jeopardy together, who do you think it would come out with the most money steak of Saurus. It's possible. Yeah, that one's got plates on its back. Hey, listen, when we come back, we're gonna do that raw Report. I promise this time back in a moment of Zuber Live back in the show right over is here Wrestling

Observer Live mixumbur BT also Wrestling Observer dot Com. Yes, it's time for the Raw Report before we do that O R I P. Gilbert Godfrey really yeah, that's yeah, really tell me about it? All right, Well, I'll have you to talk about Gilbert Godfrey's to the Raw Report. Oh, I mean, was he one of your favorite comedians? One of my favorite comedians, But I'm sad that he's gone.

A unique voice, that that is for sure, and when peppered into certain situations, Yeah, his stand up was was always pretty good and a fun guy when you appear on different shows, Howard Stern and all that sort of stuff. So yeah, just a certainly a legendary character. That's that's for absolutely sure. So R I P. This is your sucks. Get this stupid raw report because it's stupid. Wow, wasn't that bad? I mean, there were some questionable things on it. It opened up with miss TV and Cody Rhodes. It

was the Cody Rhodes Show here tonight. These fans absolutely love this guy for all it was worth. They just cheered him. They went crazy, they go nuts there, just so happy to see him. He sits down and miscos are you done yet? And so he gets somebody just does more and the fans were like, ah, they just

love this guy. And then we had a brief promo segment where MS constantly corrected him on his his inappropriate usage of of these incorrect terms here in w W E and then uh, he tried to attack him, but uh, you know, Roads sent him packing. So not only did h Cody beat Missy wasn't even humiliated in the angle leading up to it. So, you know, when you pay a guy a lot of money, that's kind of what happens there, Mohan, what was that? They're doing it right so far? I mean I told you all that, look

I did. Look know what you said was yet that that's what they have to do. And we I think everybody agrees that, yes, you better put your best foot forward with somebody. But the problem always is Vince's interest and all that sort of stuff, and we've always seen that slide, and in a case of Cody Rhodes, as you've mentioned, you can't let that slide. So there is

going to be hyper focus week after week. But this tie in with MS setting up to another match with Seth, which I know maybe redundant for some people, but damn the match was good. We got a great MS and Cody sports entertainment thing plus the bonus of a pretty damn good match. So two for two so far on roll the Cody. For me, we had Vier versus Dominic. He just killed this guy they sent about on a stretcher or Dominic just got he got his butt handed to him by by Veer. Then hey, listen, I was

a big fan of Vier. I was excited to see vir debut. You guys all you worried about Cody. Dude, Cody is gonna be fine. Veer is the one that you should be concerned about, because man, total generic, big mean guy, total generic. Nothing happened in promo I strike fear into every man. It's like the game, all of Stroman's lines and that was that was the end of that.

So then doing nothing for me right now that sucks too, because when you see this guy elsewhere, when you hear him talk, it's like, I know they want him to have a distinct character, but man, I I don't know if they set this guy off on the best foot. But we'll see the damn dumbest thing with AJ Styles and Damian Priest. So they have a match and the match is good because it's a J and Damien Priest, and then all of a sudden, Priest knocks a J

out of the ring. A J is on the floor, Damian Priest stands in the middle of the ring, the lights go out, then we see his face going or something scary. They go to commercial that all right, Well, you know they do this sometimes they want some stupid thing to lead you in a commercial break because they don't want wrestling during the commercial. But anyway, they come back and we've just moved on. I thought what and I rewounded. I missed? Did I miss on the count out?

Did I miss what? Did I miss here? I missed nothing? The lights went out and then they went to commercial and came back and they moved on. There was no finish, there was no bell to match. Technically is still going on because they never rang a bell And then they cut backstage and a J is all angry. He was I don't know what the hell out was. I was like, we don't either. So anyway, he said he's not he's not done with Priest and Edge. Good for us. Huh. If I were him, I'd just say I'm done with

it and then just do something else. But the problem here is I don't mind letting the story play out. That's that's fine, okay, But like can somebody like when they when they come back from commercial, like everybody, even the Muppet Show, even Kermit would be looking at Fozzy and Shrow or whoever the hell they were going, Hey, why did the lights go out? Let's have something? No, just the lights go out? They come back on. A

J is the only one upset. Nobody else is even he says it, Am I the only one upset here. It's like Kevin Owen's later on asking if he's the only one who's crazy. Good question, stupid. So then we had Cody versus the miss which was a good match, and you don't see a lot of really good mismatches, but Cody. You know, they had a very simple, twelve minute basic match. They worked over the leg, they did the figure four spot, they did the whole nine yards

and uh, finally Cody hits his springboard cutter. He hits the crossroads, pins him clean in the middle of the ring, huge pop. Everybody goes crazy. And then sethro what is seth Rawlins character? He dances out in his stupid suit. He's all wacky. It's like, I supposed to take this seriously when you're not taking anything seriously. You're dancing, you're posing, you do that stupid laugh that you stole from Sasha, and then, uh, I guess they're gonna do a match

at WrestleMania backlash. I hate this character. It's better than the Messiah. But that's about it. That's about it. Do you think he buys all of his clothes agains, he gets to write all those off because the amount of money he must be spending on wardrobe right now, is incredible. We Tomasa Champa debut and then Ezekiel shows up and he says, Hi, I'm Ezekiel. I'm Elias's younger brother. And Kevin Owen shows somebody goes, that ain't Ezekiel, it's Alias.

It's obviously Alias, and Champa goes, no, that's that's Ezekiel. So I don't know if you guys remember back in the day World Championship Wrestling where they had a feud with Hulk Hogan and the Warrior, and the Warrior could appear and disappear in a cloud of smoke via magic. And one day Hulk Hogan is in the locker room and he looks in the mirror and he sees the Warrior. But the warriors not, They're only in theory. Only Hogan

can see the Warrior. So like all of his friends in the locker room and everybody else, they can't see the Warrior, so they all think that the whole Cogan is crazy. However, we can also see the Warrior, so we are all so crazy. Is they're calling the heel crazy. We're all so crazy because we can see the Warrior. So the story here is it. Kevin Owens thinks that this guy is a Lias. You and I know it's a Lias, but everybody else in the promotion thinks it's

another guy. It's not Heels, by the way, it's baby faces. Can I ask you a question, Is there any possible possibility that Lias was gone for so long with no reasoning at all, that they've done a bunch of stuff recorded with him so they can actually like play the two off of each other something. I'm sure they should do some sort of backstage segnally. Do you think they actually have done that? Is there any chance, because that's gonna be the only thing that makes this thing redeeming?

Is any comedy that can come from like Elias and Ezekiel in the same place at the same time together. Hey you know, Natalie Portman, I've heard. Yes, Okay, my mind was absolutely blown. My my daughter still is into Star Wars. So we've got a Star Wars magazine at the at the grocery store, and uh, in the I think it's the Phantom No I remember which, I think

it's a Phantom Menace. So, uh, Natalie Portman plays the Queen. Okay, pod me, She's the Queen and so she's got this entourage spoilers everybody, and she has his entourage of these other handmaids or whatever. And uh, it turns out at the end of the movie that one of the handmaids is actually the queen and the real queen has been a decoy the entire time. Okay, So anyway, I've watched this movie I don't even know how many times, much to my dismay because it is the one with the

jar Jar binks. But anyway, I've watched the movie so many times and I was I was absolutely. I mean, it wasn't even like a question in my mind. Natalie Portman played herself and the queen. It's just like, okay, well you know they used C G I or whatever, and so she's playing both roles. Okay. So I'm reading this Star Wars magazine to to Paisley the other night, and uh, it explains to me that Kira Knightley was

the one who played the queen. I was like what, And I look at the picture and I'm like, no, that's the same person. But in fact it's not. It's two different people. Damn. Unless Kira Knightley is playing Ezekiel. This thing just isn't gonna work. Do all small white women look alike to you? No, dude, even my wife, she was like, man, look at that. He looked online After I read it, I thought it was nightly. I didn't know that. I'm not the only one here, are

you idiots? Get out of here. So anyway, then we had Naomi beating Live Morgan because Ria Ripley was in protocol. So they were gonna do a tag team championship match and they have to delay it because of protocol, And so the challenger got pinned in two minutes by one of the champions because she probably would have lost because she probably would have lost in the tag match. It doesn't matter the match. Then, I know, I know, I know. We had the v I P Lounge with Bobby Lashley.

We've mentioned this before, like they had a great they had a great act with him, and m VP MVP talks for him. He's a scary looking guy. Now he's got to talk for himself, and there was a reason MVP talk for him. Crowds chanting what they don't care MVP comes out, and once m v P came out, m VP such a great promo that like he lit a fire under Lashly and they actually had a really good back and forth on Originally, what it's leading to is another Omas versus Bobby Lashly match, which I do

not need to see. Plus Omas is gonna get the win, I'm sure this time. So that's not good. We had a segment with Reggie acquired to Zawa. There was a bachelor party, bachelorette party, bunch of bunch of who ha occurred, And they're gonna have a double wedding next week and our truth is going to be the Efficient as it is called Texas Tornado rules during that wedding. Surely, Austin Theory is no longer Austin theory. Literally in storyline, Vince decided Austin wasn't a very good name, so and now

he's just theory. That's literally what he said. So now he's just theory. And he left, and then Owens showed up and he's really upset about this Ezekiel Elias thing. So next week they're gonna have a lie detector test, which you know what I'm gonna do next week, everybody, So I am going to teach you how to beat a lie detector test here on year. I think I'm joking and the answer is not by being a great liar. There's actually a trick you know where I read it.

By the way, Big Secrets. Remember we talked about that a while ago Chicken recipe, Are you doing the weight is? Can? I guess right now the breathing and attack in the hand bit as attacking the shoe. We'll talk about it next week. Okay, Raw Women's Hivy and Bianca bell Air beats Queen Selina. That was quick, and then afterwards they shot an angle where Sony Deville attacked her and Sony Deville has signed herself to be the next challenger for

ice Cube's kids said it the best. Oh J Jackson Jr. On Twitter last night, Sonya Deville has attacked more black people than high blood pressure. Doesn't even make any sense, and nobody can still explain why she hated Naomi so much. Then she shows up a choplocks Bianco bel Air. But in reality, I'm actually really happy to see her back in the ring because I would be just fine with Adam Pierce being the only executive. That's just fine for me.

Then we had uh Chad Gable coming out. They had forty five minutes of TV time left, and so uh, Chad Gable came out and he talked and he talked and he talked and he talked, and he talked and he talked. Then they had Randy, Jordon and Riddle beating alph Academy and we saw a half hour of television time left and no matches. The show was just gonna

go off the air half hour early. But thankfully them also showed up and they wanted unification match with Randy, Jordon and Riddle and already talked him out of it, and so instead we got USO's versus the Street profits Usso's beat him and we're heading towards a unification match.
