Sasha and Naomi Walk Out

here today? Anything going on? Well, yes, some stuff is going on, and uh yes, we'll talk about Sasha, Naomi Raw, the whole shebang coming up here after the break, but I don't want to mention very quickly today. Best wishes to Mike Simper Vivie not gonna be on the show today. Still sick, although I believe that he said he's starting to feel a little bit better, but he's still sick. Also, Tuesday's we are normally scheduled to do a figure for dealing with a land storm at two Pacific, five Eastern.

No show today because Lance felt that I was not showing him enough respect. He walked into my office, he put his microphone on the table, and he left. So no show with Lance today. Of course that's not true. But what is true, unfortunately, is that Lance Storm has COVID, and so best wishes to Lance on a speedy recovery. I believe he's also starting to feel a little bit better here today, but you know how that goes. We'll see if if the recovery continues or if he has

those ups and downs a lot of people have. But best wishes to Lance and we will get him back on the show, hopefully next Tuesday. So so best wishes to him. Wanted to get the important health really to stuff out of the way first, because at the end of the day, Sasha Bank Naomi, they walked out of a company over a disagreement regarding who is going to win some matches. I realized this is the most talked about story, but what is more important everybody is people's health.

But yes, I'll get into that story after the break. I got a lot to get into back in a moment. Its over live, a diffiness time duty, you're not kind of seeing the shack time the range. But that to back on the show right now. But is here wrestling observer alive. I'm Mike Simp for VV today, no co host. I don't need one today. There's a lot of stuff we can talk about, yere Yes, Sasha and Naomi. Where

to begin on this story? Well, yesterday on Observer Live, I guess we started the beginning right now, how we always start. Yesterday Observer Live, I had the lineup for a raw, which was of course non existing. As always, we knew that Omas was going to face Bobby Lashly in a cage match, and that was it by the time the show went off the year and the show went off the year at you know three Eastern show starts, it made or whatever. So in the afternoon they I

guess announced I presume on social media. I'm not much of a social media guy, to be honest. Then they were gonna be doing a six pack challenge and the winner was going to get Bianca bell Air at the Helen a Cell pay per view, which is quite frankly a total throwaway pay per view. I think the main event is Cody and seth rawlins for the third time with nothing on the line, just a Helen his Cell match.

And uh so they had a six pack challenge announced, and Nicky ash and do Drop and Becky Lynch and Oscar and Sasha and Naomi, by the way, are the women's tag team champions. They are all gonna be in this in this match. Okay, So what happened was there was a disagreement between Vince McMahon and Sasha Banks. Will go into more details here in a while, but they added disagreement and uh, Sasha and Naomi left. They left the building. And this happened as the show was on

the air. Okay, so about forty five minutes of the show, it was like before a commercial break, they cut backstage and Adam Pierce is furiously texting on his phone and Becky is there, and you just hear Becky say something like I saw them they put their belts on the desk and they just walked out, And then we go to commercial and we come back and essentially they shot a very quick angle where Becky explains that she she saw Sasha and Naomi put their belts on the desk

and walk out, and so therefore there can't be a six pack challenge, and so she wants to just be named the number one contender, and Adam Pierce ends up ruling, well, it's gonna be you and Oscar one on one and the winner against Bianca bell Air. I don't know this one, but the impression I've been given is that neither of them actually had any idea what was really going on, and they were just told go in there and do

this quick. And so they went in there and they did it, and uh, allegedly, you know, Becky, just on the fly, came up with, okay, well let's just do this now. Why in storyline, if Sasha and Naomi walked out, they didn't just make it a four way they took

do drop and Nicki ash out as well. I don't know, but my presumption is that they figure yeared okay, well, they only have two hours to prepare for this six minute match, and we'll just have you know, two good workers that we know can pull it off in six minutes go out there and do it. Plus they've been working on the road. So apparently that's why Nicki ash And and dew Trump ended up not in the match. So they left and w W E then issued a

statement during raw. Okay, I was gonna have faunt Leroy read it, but we'll be serious here, as serious as we can be for this preposterous story. I'll read it and then maybe faont Lerie can read it later. When Sasha Banks and Naomi this is written. This is from w w E. When Sasha Banks and Naomi arrived at the arena this afternoon, they were informed of their participation

in the main event of tonight's Monday Night Raw. During the broadcast, they walked into w w E Head of Talent Relations, John Loria Nitis's office, her suitcases in hand, placed their Tag Team championship belts on his desk, and walked out. They claimed they were not expected enough as tag team champions and even though they had eight hours.

Even though they had eight hours to rehearse and construct their match, they claimed they were uncomfortable in the ring with two of their opponents, even though they'd had matches with those individuals in the past with no consequence. Monday Night Raw is a scripted live TV show whose characters are expected to perform the requirements of their contract. We regret, I'm gonna try and say this with a straight face. We regret we were unable to deliver as advertised tonight's

main event. That's what they said. So we had a couple of notes here, uh there. There was a big article it p w Insider, which largely jives with everything that I heard, and so I'm gonna read that here and then we will we'll talk about more stuff that I heard. So uh, details still light regarding exactly what happened.

This is actually from mussel observer dot com. The sources p W Insider what caused Sasha Banks and Naomi to walk out of Raw Monday One Tuesday report has a version of what led to w w E s Take

Team Champions leaving Cordia. P w Insider the plan for Raw was at Banks and Naomi would go head to head in the planned six pack challenge, with Naomi getting to challenge Raw Women's Champion Biaka bell Air at Helen his Cell. The report went on to say, there is a belief this Friday, Smackdan would kick off at Angle to set up Banks versus SmackDown Women's Champion Rohnda Rousey at Helen his Cell, with both Banks and Naomi losing

at the event. I pitched alternative idea including Dewdrop and nicky Ash that would have set up a different program was not gone with, leading to the two eventually informing John lord Ius they were leaving and handing over the titles on the post. Raw Observer Radio Dave Meltzer said the two went to Vince McMahon about the creative plan. Vince did not back down, did not agree to what

they were asking. The report said. McMahon learned of their departure, reportedly right as Raw was going live with the eventual Becky Lynch Adam Pierce segment, pitched and approved on the spot, which led to the Lynch versus Oscar match. So uh, people the inside the rights. The belief among some is that the creative issue is not with Banks losing to Naomi, but how the duo would have been portrayed over the next several weeks, especially after they had put so much

time into building their team. Once Vince McMahon issued an edict that they would be teaming and winning the women's tag team titles at WrestleMania thirty eight, and that after diving into building that team, they were going to wrestle each other and go off to put over other talents, leaving them exactly where, which apparently was the crux of

the issue. I guess back where they started. The w w E plan looks to have been the w w WE Wins Take Team Champions would have been downplayed until their next program after Helen his Cell and Wade Keller refuted the statement about not trusting their opponents, saying, I can just say I have asked around. There wasn't a pre existing issue with Naomi and Sasha and anyone in

that match. He also said there was not much sympathy backstage towards either woman, nor a sense of them taking a stand for something people agreed with, and as of now,

both women still in the active roster. So I did hear that story that Naomi was supposed to win the six pack Challenge, Naomi was going to go on to Helen's Cell, Sasha Banks was going to do a feud with Ronda Rousey and have a championship match at Helen his Cell. So both of the tag team champions would be challenging for the singles titles and they would lose. And this apparently upset Sasha and Naomi because they have done such a great job in their minds of building

their team up since winning the titles at WrestleMania. If you're watching the video right now and you're looking in my face, yes, I find this whole thing to be completely preposterous. Do they not remember back in the day where when you were gonna build up a champion that that person beat the tag team champions one on two literally in a handicap match. The tag team champions would often do jobs for the champion. I mean, I I understand, like, you know, being happy to win the titles at Maine

and everything, but what's going on here? You've built up this team to such a degree that you can't do a job to the singles champions at Helen a Cell. Have I been watching a different Ron SmackDown where Sasha Banks and Naomi are this huge, popular, fantastically over main event tag team act. Have I missed that aspect of the television, because when I watched the show, they're the women's tag team champions and they're getting the same pops

they got before. The belts are exactly a position largely is there. I mean, I got a lot more to say after this, after the break, but I don't got a lot of sympathy. And I think one of the keys of the story is bro I ain't the only one that has no sympathy. Back in the moment, sever live back in the show, Brian Elba is here wrestling observer live, Mike and Bervit out here today. Hey, listen, anytime I've dealt with this before, any time you dare

say anything negative about Sasha here they come. So I guess I can have to deal with that here today. But hey, you know what's funny is whatever I say about Sasha Banks today or Naomi or whoever, they're gonna you know, they'll come after me. And then those same fans will be in the building when Fitzbigmhan comes out and they'll all a bow to him. So anyway, I've seen already some defenses of oh my god, well you know, and it's true. We we only know one side of the story here. We only know w W E s

side of the story. But I've heard several versions of the story and they're all largely the same. That Sasha didn't like the booking and she left. And what's interesting is, Bro, there's been some horrible booking in this company. And your issue is that the Tag Team Champions, but one of the Tag Team, one half of the Tag Team Champion, is gonna win a six pack challenge over the Top Women on Raw and then she's gonna go to headline of pay per view against the champion and then lose

in the end and somehow that's a down grade. And then the other one is going to start a feud with Rhonda Rousey, the champion, and they're gonna go back and forth and do a bunch of angles leading to a championship match at a paper view, which he's gonna lose. And apparently this is like, you know, this is just horrible that the women's Take Team champions will being shambles after this. Okay, so listen, if if if you think that this is just like whatever, here's I'm gonna tell

you about. You're welcome to think whatever you want inside with whoever you want. Okay, but ill me tell you something about w w E. These wrestlers are given stupid ideas. I'm not talking Sasha, and I'm talking everybody, okay, from the bottom to the top. They're given stupid creative ideas all the time. And uh and boy have I heard some arguments from from very very I'm talking top folks that have argued storylines, and Vince is like, Nope, this

is what we're doing. And so obviously, I think I think everybody is is pretty well aware, especially when you listen to interviews from people who have left w w E. The idea that everybody in w w E is satisfied with their creative it's ridiculous. Of course they're not. They they you know, there's people in w w E. There's people in a w there's people in New Japan name a promotion, and there's a bunch of people there that are dissatisfied with their creative. Right, obviously, I mean this

is common sense. So you would think that if you have a company full of folks that are presented with bad creative all the time and get frustrated with the creative, well you would think that if Sasha and Naomi were handed bad creative and they finally took a stand and they just said no, I ain't doing this, I'm at here, and they walked out, well you would think that all of the other wrestlers would be on their side, would back them up, would say, finally somebody stood up for themselves,

because I see a lot of fans here. Oh, finally someone stood up for themselves. Well, you would think that the wrestlers who are dealing with this every day would say the same thing, We are standing Thank god, someone's finally standing up for themselves. Hopefully this leads to change or whatever that did not happen. Dude, I literally I'm aware of two people that are that are that have publicly said anything positive about Sasha. The funny thing is, like,

this is all on Sasha. I haven't heard anything about Naomi. No one's even mentioned Naoman. It's all Sasha, okay. William Regal made a comment about how he put his job on the line for her back in the day and really wanted her to be signed, and uh, and Dax Harwood made a comment about how you've got to take your your career into your own hands. Those are the only two people I have seen, okay internally. And I'm sure maybe there's somebody that's, you know, I'm sure Jimmy

Usos sticking up for Nail and everything like that. But I mean sure somebody internally is gonna do whatever. But I have not heard from one person, not one that is sticking up for Sasha and Naomi in this situation. And not only are they not sticking up for Sasha and Naomi, but boy have I heard a lot of terms thrown around, most of them some derivative of the word mark mark effing Mark marked to a degree that is unfathomed. I mean, all of it there is, there

has been. I have heard zero support for Sasha Banks in this situation. So quite frankly, like if you want to, you can get mad at me if you want, but like, dude, I am not some voice of you know whatever. I mean, I've been a lot nicer on this show than anything that I have heard from people in w W over

the last twenty four hours. So hey, if you want to come after me, go for it, but you know, maybe don't bow to Vince McMahon the next time he comes out or I'm sure many of your favorits on television. I mean, zero support, I'm talking zero. But like I said, it's funny. I mean I haven't really heard anything anybody saying anything about Naomi and she walked out too. It's all about Sasha, and uh, you know, I've heard it all Mark Diva. I mean, the list goes on and on.

There is zero support for Sasha Banks walking out of w W E over all of this. People are furious. They think it's ridiculous, they think that she's whatever. So uh that's the story and where this goes. I mean, I don't know, but you know, all of the literally every single bit of support that I've seen for Sasha Banks coming out of this has either been for people in another company that weren't there last night or and

that's it, or fans. Those are the only two. The her actual coworkers, the people that work with her in that company, have zero sympathy for what happened here. So I think that would probably tell you something. And uh, again, we largely have the official w w E side of the story, but I also heard from you know, a lot of people obviously off the record in w w

E and not not sympathetic to this at all. And trust me, these are people that have been presented with really stupid ideas and they've had to do them, and they are not sympathetic on this one. So I think that I think that kind of tells you that, you know, she she didn't like some creative, but the other wrestlers probably looked at that creative and thought, dude, what are

you complaining about? Like both of you are gonna be headlining a pay per view in singles championship matches and uh, and you walked out over that, like what, this is your job? I mean, you're not really the tag team champions. It's fake. You were chosen to walk around with these two belts and do matches and uh now they've come up with another idea to you to position you in a top position. They would have been in a top position on television for weeks setting up angles. Sasha would

have laid out Rhonda Rousey. I mean all of that. They do, all of that stuff leading to matches, and that was creative that they decided we're walking out of this company over that. So very very like non existent sympathy for for Sasha Banks And what do you need bad take? I'm not even giving you a take. I'm telling you exactly what's going on here. It's not even my take. Why are you even mad at me? I'm telling you exactly what I've heard from multiple people within

the company. As usual, it's all my fault. Stand up for w W E. Well, stand up for Sasha Banks if you'd like to. I'm telling you what I've heard from her co workers. So it can get mad at me if you want, you can kill the messenger. I don't care. I mean, that's that's how this normally works on the internet. Right, We'll talk about some other news and we'll talk about the rest of RAW, because I think everyone's asking about Rick Flair and Ricky Steamboat. So, yes,

rick Flair's having his last match July thirty one. Jim Crockett Promotions presents Rick Flair's last match taking place on Sunday, July thirty one Nashville Fairgrounds. And uh, Dave believed it would be FTR and Rick Flair versus the Rock and Roll Express and a mystery partner, and yes, the mystery partner. Well, I can't say this is going to be the mystery partner. I'll put it this way. Ricky Steamboat has been asked

if he wants to be the mystery partner. Okay, Ricky Steamboat did an angle in w w E about a decade ago, and uh, and he was absolutely destroyed by Uh. I think it was the Core what was the name of the group that destroyed him. But anyway, Uh, he was seriously injured and uh his I think blood on the brand. I mean it was bad, like he could have died and so he was never allowed in the

ring again. From from w w E. So you know, Rick Flair has got a pacemaker and everything like that, But I mean, I'm no doctor, but to me, I would be more concerned about Ricky Steamboat in the ring than Rick Flair. But Ricky Steamboat has been asked and uh, Ricky Steamboat has been in the ring for sure within the last five years. He's done some uh he's done

some indie dates and that sort of thing. And there was even one show which I think was up in Canada where he made an appearance and then as part of the show, he hit the ring and did a full Ricky Steamboat baby face comeback and he looked great. Apparently, he looked awesome and he was totally fine afterwards, and so, uh, the impression had been given is that he is kinda he's getting in the ring and it's kind of like

the steam Bosson's serenaway. If he feels that he can do this match, he's gonna do it, and if he feels he can't do this match, he's not going to do it. But from people who have who have seen him, uh and seen a lot of the footage of Rick Flair, I mean, I know a lot of people are concerned about the health of both guys, but essentially the feeling is if there's four other young guys in there, and Flair's in there to do a few spots, and Ricky Steamboats in there to do a bunch of chops and

make a comeback. Uh, this can largely go off without a hitch. So that's the update on Flair's final match and Ricky Steamboat and we'll do more news after the break Wrestling Observer Live. Sure, I don't know how some of you get through the day. Flabbergasted that woun vile the trademark for what appears to be a new tag team infection name Bloody Brutes. We don't do blood. We're gonna have a team called Bloody Brutes. So I guess we'll find out who gets that one. Yeah, I am flabbergasted.

I mean I should have known, but some there's no there's no logic. There's what's the old saying, there's no logic in the eyes of love. I think I made that up, But you guys know what I'm getting At SmackDown Friday at one million viewers, down five from the previous week. SmackDown finished second on Network TV with a point four rating in the eighteen to forty nine demo Down n B A n B A n B A A W Rampage Viewers, which is actually up sixteen point four airing a two thirty pm on the West Coast

eighteen forty nine point one two. So that beat uh many episodes of n x T in their normal time slot at two thirty Pacific this week. I believe they will be airing at seven eastern four pm Pacific, so you can you can check that out. You got one of the raw report. Should we just do that? Mm hmm, something else for you to get mad at me about. Actually, if you wanted to get mad at me, i'd say that Raw was great. Raw was It was fine. So it opened up with Bobby Lashley and Omas and Cedric

Alexander ran down before the match and attacked Lashly. Then they got in the cage and Cedric Alexander kept interfering and h m v P kept hitting Lashly with his cane, and the announcers kept telling us this was illegal, even though it's a cage match with no rules. So finally almost you know, beat him up for a while. Uh, and it was it was fine. David said it was Omas's best match, and I guess he might be right. I mean this is a low bar. Was it better

than WrestleMania? I don't know. All I know is, oh, must looks like the biggest geek. At the end of this match, he throws Bobby Lashley into the side of the cage. Bobby Lashly hits the side of the cage, the cage door falls down, Bobby Lashly rolls and you know the finish. He rolls down and he ends up on the ground and he touched the ground first inadvertently,

and he wins. But of course it's w w E and they have determined that you, the w w E viewer, are a moron and you can't figure this stuff out without having your handheld and everything explained to you. So what they do is Bobby Lashly hits the cage. The cage falls down, and Bobby Lashley lands in the middle of the panel, so he has not touched the ground yet, so he lays there. Omas is in the ring and he stands there and he furrows his brow. Ah what

Lashly lays there? Omas Dan's They're looking at him. The announcers like, oh my god, the cage broke. If Lashly puts his foot on the ground, why he wins? Thanks? Finally Lashly rolls down and puts his foot on the ground and he wins. And this moron, this Omas, literally like he could have he could have done laps around the arena, like six laps in the time that he stood there looking like a moron as this guy's laying on the panel. So Lashly wins. If you couldn't figure

it out, you're stupid fans. He won because the cage broke and he put his foot on the ground. Got it, in case they didn't explain it to you well enough on the show last night. So anyway, next week they're gonna do a Bobby Lashly challenge with Omas and m v P. But they won't tell you what it is. It's just gonna be a challenge next week. Got it. Then we had Ali come out for a match with uh theory, Does this sound familiar? They announced MSS is

a special referee. This sound familiar. MS comes out to be the referee, and then all of a sudden, Theory says, well, I talked to Mr McMahon and you have to prove yourself before you can face me. So your opponent tonight is Vier Mahan with MS his guest referee. So Ali goes for a dive, misstands in his way. Ali yells at Miss Vir shows up. Larry It's sim puts him

in his move and Ali just submits. He gives up quits, and then they beat him up afterwards, and the Mysterials run down and the Mysterios beat up Vier two on one advantage baby Faces and they send him packing. Then we had the awkward Becky lynch Adam Pierce deal where they try to fit together, which has happened in the main event. Riddle Face Jimmy US good match, uh, fun match. They both worked well and Jimmy distracts the referee. The

referee Uh. First, Jimmy and Ja try to cheat to pin him, so the referee ejects j and then Jimmy is all upset and he turns around. He gets small

packaged and he gets pinned. No Randy Orton, but they are still pushing the unification match coming up on SmackDown on Friday, and I would not be surprised if we had no finish, leading to a another match at the pay per view, which at this point, given this pay per view, they probably should just do a match to unify the titles to give the people something because we ain't got much we had Live Morgan segments. She has joined a J and Finnvalor, which they've been doing our

shows Judgment Day promo. Edge wants to recruit Live Morgan, Finnbalor and AJ styles. It's likely and maybe happening because, as we noted on Observer Radio last night, Edge wanted a fourth member of Judgment Day, Harlan who has been fired, so he can't be the fourth member. So now edges trying to get a J to join and maybe they'll get a J. Maybe that'll be the fourth member. I don't know, but that's the storyline that they're doing here. We then add a J and Finn Balor versus Los Lotharios,

which was a good match. I don't know if you're aware of this or not, but a J and Finn Valor they're great singles wrestlers, were also a great tag team and Los Lotharios did a good job. A J and Finn hit their finishes, got the win, celebrated with Liv Morrigan. H This was one of the highlights of the show, although not the actual highlight. The actual highlight of the show is a man named Kevin Owens, who is a gem. And you know the thing with Kevin Owens.

Kevin Owens faced Stone Cold Steve Austin at WrestleMania in Austin's last match in the main event of WrestleMania, and he has since in an interview and he's just basically said, dude, I mean it's all it's done. I mean there there ain't nowhere to go from here. I've peeked and like

that's it. So I'm not saying that he doesn't care anymore, but now that he has achieved like the greatest height he will ever achieve in this business, having the final match of Stone Cold Steve Auston's career in Texas in the main event of a WrestleMania, and he's admitted, like that's that's the top of the mountain. It's like it's all downhill from here. I mean, maybe he's at that point where it's like, bro, who cares, I'll do anything whatever.

Because when you get to that point, which brings us back by the way to that Sasha Banks Naomi thing, when you get to that point where it's like who cares, I'll do whatever, and I'm gonna have fun with it, dude, you're at your best, and this guy is at his best, like he's doing this segment with Ezekiel. Dude, it's Ezekiel. It's the former Elias who's pretending he's his own brother. Bro. This should be the worst thing since the heyday of the Fiend, but man Kevin Owens is putting his all

into it and he's having fun and it's awesome. So they've done the DNA test, but this idiot otis eight barbecue over it and he got barbecue in the sample so it got tainted, so they don't get the results of the test. And he's just he can't get through this, I mean the announcement and even saying like can you move on to something else? And he's like no, and I don't even know why, but I can't. So anyway,

he's uh, he's upset. He's upset with with Chad Gable because he's screwed up this even though he's supposed to be so smart and so Chad Gable vow to go out and beat Ezekiel. Tonight we had another Alexis Sonia match. This one went four minutes. They've gotten rid of the old Alexa music that was half and half. Now she's just got cheery chip music or whatever. And she beat Sony Deville with the d D T and then Sonya got mad at the ref for not counting fast enough.

She slapped him. So presumably she's gonna be in big trouble for two hours for the whole Oh, they're screwing up Cody Brigade. They don't know what. Listen, this guy is number two in this company to Roman Reigns. Right now. The show opens with a clock. Cody Rhodes is gonna come out in one hour, fifty minutes and forty four seconds. There's a clock that they keep showing throughout the show. This is when Cody's coming out. Get Ready, here he comes.

So he finally comes out as promised, fans go nuts, and long story short, he is going to face seth Rawlins at Helen his cell South Rollins. By the way, Bro, I hate this laughing gimmick. I mean, I know he thinks he's the joker or whatever, but dude, you've done nothing but lose to Cody Rhodes and you're out here laughing about it. And it's just like, Bro, I can't care about this match when you're a clown. And it's the same thing with Becky Lynch. Bro, there's plenty of

clowns on this show. Okay, Elias, you know he's a clown. Seven geeks, they're all clowns. Bro, I don't need Seth Rongs being a clown, and I don't need Becky Lynch being a clown. It makes me not care about any of their feuds. So you know they're having a match at least at the end. You know, when Cody said I'll see you in Hell, then Seth got all serious for a while. But dude, this laughing stuff is just death. It's death. Oscar promo. Is Zekiel beat Chad Gable? They

went eleven minutes. Chad Gable is really good. Ezekiel, I mean he could have a match, but I mean this was just like it was just there. But we had eleven minutes of Kevin Owens freestyling the storyline on commentary, and dude, he was awesome. This was the best thing on the show by leaps and bounds. So Ezekiel gets to win. Kevin Owens is just he's furious. They showed a photoshop picture of of Ezekiel with Elias and Kevin's having none of it. He's like, dude, it's a photoshop.

I saw it on Twitter. That's it was some guy to count. He's just going off. This was awesome. We had a segment. Oh God, Sven stuff here. Cazella's in the garbage can. She started over again. You realized Sasha walked out earlier because I was in a garbage can. He gets served papers, he goes running. Truth tries to steal the seven title from Dana. Dana goes running, she runs into Carmela. Carmela is upset because her makeup got messed up. She got run into even though she's not

even on the show. She's doing her makeup for fun and this is leading to a feud between Dana Brook and Carmela and Truth in a three way over the seven title. Did I mentioned there was no sympathy when Sasha walked out because they wanted her to headline a pay per view in a singles title match. Anyway, Uh, Lacy Evans comes out to do a promo and baby

Face promo. But I wasn't in the crowd, and I can't speak for everybody, but when she came out, I was like cringing, just waiting for her to start burying the crowd and turn heel. And I feel like a lot of the fans were thinking the same thing because they weren't super into this. It was like, Okay, well

here it comes, and it never came. So hopefully they've just dropped the idea and she can start coming out and beating people up instead of just we're on seven weeks of the same story now, so it's time to pull the trigger on some action. And then of course we had the main event. It was Oscar and Bicky Lynch. They got ten minutes, and you know, they are two professionals. They did not have eight hours to rehearse. They had a couple of hours to get up, get a match plan.

They went out there, they did it. It was good. The finish was awesome. So Bianca is in a chair. Becky throws Oscar into Bianca because she wants Bianca to attack her so that she'll win viad Q and go to get a championship match. But uh, you know, Bianca jumps up on the apron and the rust trying to get rid of her. Becky runs over and she grabs the big umbrella of Oscar and she rears back and Oscar blows the mist right in Becky's face, kicks her in the head and pins her. It was awesome, of course.

Then the referee is like trying to wipe green stuff off Becky's face, but he hasn't reverse the decision. So whenever we had a good match to close the show, Oscar is on the way to a championship match at hele nself and we're off to a commercial break. Observer live back in the show. Bright now bur is here wrestling Observer alive mix Umber BB recovering hopefully back here, Sue,

Land Storm battling COVID So no land Storm show today this afternoon the first year says Dave mentioned there may be a contract issue in play as well with the Sasha Naomi situation. If you remember, this isn't the first time Sasha has walked out. She asked for her release in twenty nine, but Vince told her no and to take time off instead. Could this be the culmination of years of issues? And do you

know the current status of her contract? No? I don't so, I mean, you know, if if it came down to a contract issue, like do it after the show don't walk out at the beginning of the show. I mean, hello, I know this is being defended by by certain people, but like, if you have a contract issue, then deal with your contract issue professionally. Just walk out at the beginning of the show. I'm the bad guy. Let's see. Oh man, oh man, I shouldn't have opened my text messages.

Let's see what else we got. I can't, I can't. It's a show over yet, tom how long do I have here? Thank you? I can't take it. I gotta get off this social media. It's the bane of my existence.
