Special Edition WWE Payback 2015

The following is a sooner orgator production.
This is the first time I've ever seen it before.
I cut down with the victim.
We both know you need them.
Just like in the mail.
It is 702 on the East Coast.
It is 402 on the West Coast.
It is the 17th of May in the year of our Lord 2015.
It is season 5 episode 41.
It is also a milestone day in the life of the Clubhouse podcast.
Welcome to episode 300.
We have reached another plateau on the show.
300 times you have heard me say welcome to the Clubhouse podcast.
My name is Rob and payback is a whole different deal for me.
It is the official non official.
WWE payback pre-show that we do.
Remember there is a WWE paper that you can expect us to cover it for you.
As we lead up to go time, but I am not alone for this particular episode.
Across the desk for me as he tends to be each and every Sunday night.
Is a man who once thought payback was a candy bar.
But he was corrected.
He is my co-host, he is Chad Welcome sir.
I am not really feeling candy bar.
I am really craving notchills right now for some crazy reason.
Beef notchills by the odor that is emanating the studio right now.
Also joining me across the desk directly.
I didn't bring it up.
He just opened the door.
Is the official fact checker of this show.
And a man that keeps discovering new flavors of milk splash every day.
You may know him is fun, don go, but his mom and I name him Don Ford.
I am going to call it Don Ford.
Welcome sir.
Milk splash and notchills.
I will quote the Avengers.
That is not going away any time.
But hey, another, this is a 300.
We have been in a lot of Stentry marks and stuff with this.
I know.
You know, 100 show the season and then 100 iTunes exclusives.
Hey, keep it rolling.
Keep it rolling.
Also joining us is the man who has now become comedic fodder on this show.
He is friend of the show.
He is one of our favorite people in the world.
He is LA.
Welcome sir.
You guys are jerk.
No.
He is.
Thank you guys.
You're on the other side of the table.
He's not your brother.
He's not your friend.
See?
That's your welcome.
That is your boy dog.
You're like that.
All of these jokes are quite cheese.
All right.
Don't got to be so sour creamy about it.
But you're hearing in the background the official theme for WWE payback.
Imagine dragons called Friction.
I did this too.
I'm really digging this on.
This might be a heavy rotation for me.
We are wrestling intensive tonight.
We're normally we're all thing sports and entertainment.
But we're going to be wrestling intensive as if we get you ready for payback.
Boys, huge announcement this past Monday night.
Starting tonight.
We have three paper views in five weeks.
Good lord.
Because two weeks from tonight.
Somebody's listening to the show.
Because if you go back when we announced that the chamber was gone.
You'll hear my heartbreak through the microphone.
WWE has come to my rescue.
Two weeks from tonight.
The elimination chamber returns.
14 days.
And a problem is with that.
There's only a few arenas I could do it.
Well, but here's the thing.
Yeah.
You're going to have people pulling double duty that night.
Because WWE also has a house show in that area.
So people like John Cena are going to be working twice that night.
Good night.
But you know what?
Respect.
Yeah.
Respect for their superstars that are honoring their commitments to the house show.
And then coming and doing the paper view.
It's the last thing.
We need this more signal.
And it's also.
It's also going to be.
It's not going to be available on cable and satellite providers.
This is a network exclusive paper view.
Which doesn't make it a paper view.
But that's going to be there here and over there.
Well, you pay.
Just a view.
For the WWE network at 999.
Which I pay every month.
That is paper view, I guess.
So I'm very excited.
Because on one hand, I'm a little bummed.
Because the WWE World Heavyweight Championship will not be defended in the chamber.
However, the intercontinental championship, which we're assuming is going to stay vacated
until the chamber.
Because as we know, Daniel Bryan vacated the title Monday night.
But the tag titles are going to be defended in the chamber.
When I read that, I was like, you have my attention.
Because to me, having a tag match in the chamber adds an entirely different dimension to the chamber itself.
So what?
Four teams.
I'm assuming.
Yeah, you never know.
It'll be either be three or four.
Because you get what?
The four chambers, then you get two guys in the ring.
Or do you start with four?
Yeah.
Half the tag team would be the way to do it.
It would as a failed four-way kind of a deal.
Where each team gets to add your second guy every couple minutes.
I'm on board.
No.
Isn't that a bite off of the one-man advantage from T&A though?
Well, T&A's Rob Royal Rumble and everything else.
But they call that a gauntlet match and that's not a gauntlet match.
But I'm very excited about the chamber coming back.
And then two weeks after the chamber is money in the bank.
So you're going to have two of the, in my opinion, the biggest non-major pay-per-views within three to the next month.
Yeah.
So I'm very excited about this.
That being said, let's talk about Raw.
It's Booker T turning into the John Madden of the WWE.
Because his commentary, it's like watching a snake eat its own tail.
So we're really okay with the swap of King and Booker T.
No, I'm not.
I don't like King getting all of the data to SmackDown.
I just don't.
But unfortunately, given who you've got commentating SmackDown,
you've got to have somebody in there that's going to give that thing credibility.
So they decided to stop making Michael Cole to double-doodle in it.
Yeah, pretty much.
Which is a good thing.
Well, we're going to talk about Cole here in a minute.
What do we have to do?
JBL was doing double-doodle.
Both of them were, yes.
Yeah.
It was just the third chair.
Much like this show.
The third chair was different every week.
JBL when Barrett came out and said bow down, bow down to the king.
And I was like, oh, isn't that gimmick infringement?
Can Triple H say something about this?
What's in the company?
Probably proved it.
Yeah, that's true.
And you know, last week we talked about how I thought it would be great
if the Lucha Dragons teamed up with Daniel Bryan.
I came up with a better one.
Can you imagine the crowd confusion?
If Daniel Bryan was in a tag team with.
But then you'd have to have the yes chant with it?
Yes, yes, yes, yes.
Caucasian race that were the efficiency would take.
Yes.
Yes.
Yes.
Yes.
Yes.
Yes.
Kill me.
Hey, you started to not show me.
No, no, no, no, no, no.
No, no, no, no, no.
The notch up it was funny though.
No, no, no.
Let's keep this, keep the screaming to a minimum channel.
I do have levels I gotta keep.
This is life in me.
Yes.
Okay.
See.
But we do have to have our Michael Cole moment of the week.
When Michael Cole said, what do you do now?
Nikki Bell has been the Davis champions since November.
It's her 5th series when she won it.
Really?
She's been the champions since she won the title.
When does that ever happen?
No.
We she got the fact right.
He's the official fact.
But she's been the champions since she won it.
Like.
What do you expect anything better?
Well, at least it wasn't Booker T.
Yeah.
And I love Booker T.
Don't get me wrong.
I'm a huge Booker T fan.
Raw now table.
Raw now it's table.
Not the best place for him.
I'm just saying.
Keep him on the pre show.
I love him as through.
I love the best king.
And what could be my favorite moment of the week.
Although Chad will horribly disagree with me.
I words cannot express.
How much I enjoy.
Mucho man now.
I.
This man.
Man down.
It's just.
When Axel was doing his thing.
And and Sandal walked in.
And he started.
You can see little glimpses of like.
This is fixing to happen.
This macho man.
I was crying.
I was laughing so hard.
I was just crying.
Or is it Chad did not enjoy it.
Now they got the metapowers.
Not the metapowers.
But not there.
Don't bury the lead.
I'm not.
What was it?
Don't run cheap.
But macho man down.
Genius.
Don't care who you are.
I've been Sandal students since.
I know you have been.
But.
I.
I.
I still.
I.
I.
I still wonder how long you can go with this bit.
It's what you have to give him a true identity.
Because he's got great technical skills.
But I don't know how long this bit can go.
But you know what?
I'm going to enjoy the ride.
I just am at this point.
Can I really go past the nice paper view though?
I don't know.
It's going to.
We're going to talk about that here in a minute.
How long did we do the misdal thing?
Well, that worked.
That did work.
You got to met that got him.
Okay.
He was about to be.
I'm saying you.
I honestly think they're going to end this thing that quick.
No.
No.
They're not going to get there.
They're going to put the straps on these guys.
Come on.
We're going to talk about that here.
I do want to talk about something that Chad might be interested in.
Later this year, there will be a new undertaker DVD set.
A set.
Not a single disk.
A new undertaker DVD set.
Now, there will be a book.
But it's not going to be written by Mark.
The book that's coming out later this year is being written by one
of the head bookers.
That's going to be more k-fave.
Just talking about the undertaker character and taking you through all of his views.
Anyone who you find that funny, a book written by a booker.
But not book or tea.
That would be even funnier.
But I just, I wasn't sure if you had heard about that.
No.
So I'm sure you were in the loop.
This is news to me.
I also did notice last time my wife was,
was leafing through Amazon Prime.
And apparently the undertaker brothers of destruction DVD is available on Amazon Prime.
Right now.
Distream.
Really?
Yeah.
I saw that.
Also, in what could be our funniest moment of the week.
Funnier than not sure.
Oh, yes.
Last night, State College, Pennsylvania.
WWE House Show.
Ruseb Star is stolen by somebody in the crowd.
This should look at Emma.
I don't know.
I still think, and Chad kind of referenced this earlier.
But I don't know if he versed in this way.
Have Santino show up with it.
Or stand out.
You can have Ruse now.
Or Emma.
Sand Dev.
No.
Poor guy.
He works so hard for that medal.
I'm just, what did I say though?
All the guy do a stop by party city.
Get new one on the way to the ring tonight.
I'm just saying.
You are listening to the clubhouse podcast WWE payback pre show.
We are live every Sunday, 7 Eastern, 4 Pacific.
Normally you're one stop shop for all things sports and entertainment.
But it's paper view day.
We got to be wrestling intensive because it's kind of what we do.
Episode 300.
I'm going to say this about a hundred times before this episode's over.
Because I could not be more proud of this show.
Can't do it.
All the stuff that we've accomplished.
We're going to talk about that a little bit later as well.
Let's talk about the Russian national anthem.
That's right.
While you're not just.
Hey, don't give me that look man.
That wasn't Chad on that one.
But we didn't need to talk a little bit about SmackDown.
Something happened on SmackDown this week,
which further is my concept that somebody's listening to this show.
We talked was it, it was a little while ago.
Maybe right before extreme rules.
About how I believe you should have more matches.
That don't end with a finishing move.
How you can kind of surprise your crowd.
By not having seen a hit the AA or the STFU or anything like that.
Ambrose did it on SmackDown.
He won the match without using dirty deeds.
Which I thought was great.
Because it's, you're like, okay, he's going to kick out.
Oh, we didn't it. That was a three count.
I like it when the company can surprise me.
And Ambrose did it this week.
But it's further is my thought.
But somebody's listening to this show.
But I'll take it.
Also, I just wish you knew who it was.
I noticed.
And we talked about this recently.
Don and I.
Oh, 300 of them.
There you go.
Rise of an Empire.
Oh.
Don and I were talking.
I don't know if you were there or not, Chad.
Have you noticed that?
Bray Wyatt doesn't have the traditional name plate when he comes to the ring.
How the fireflies kind of form his name and then they fly off.
Very awesome.
Roosts have has his own name plate now too.
And I think we need to do that with all the superstars.
I think it's kind of cool how they get their own custom little deal.
And I think we need to do that more.
It just not the generic raw.
Dean Ambrose at WWE Ambrose or whatever it is.
You know, because why they didn't put his little hand Twitter hit on or Roosts.
And speaking on that, I actually think they need to come back to showing the cards.
And then this time making a motion cards like they used to do.
Oh, I do like those.
I do like those.
And you know what?
I got to play this for the for for the meta powers.
Yeah, that's the real thing.
I do miss.
I miss black machismo.
I'm just going to say it.
Well, it's a but J lethal doing very well in ROA right now.
And I like J lethal a lot, but the meta powers who ever came up with this name give
that man a raise or woman a raise because that's genius.
Now, if we and now you talked about Emma, we can get Emma to become Miss Emma.
Huh?
Yeah.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Yeah, you think it.
So for there, just taking it.
That's a rod.
Oh, I'm natural.
Macho Mandale and Emma.
I'm telling you, I'm in.
I'm in.
Shoot Chad now.
But you know, but you know what?
I think once you get this, this deal out of the way with with Sandal.
I don't know that they'd ever do it.
Let him do a luger bit.
Because he's got a decent physique.
Is this theme for real, by the way?
I don't know if it's a member doing a member black and cheese mo from TNA.
When J lethal did his macho man play?
This is what he used.
This was the theme song.
This is it.
Here's God.
And I remember the first time we saw him at that house show.
And I'm like, I don't know who this guy is, but he's a dog or a genius.
Or that was like a pop-up.
Never mind.
Let's talk a little bit.
The flare bit was better.
Oh, his flare.
You heard what flare said.
That kid doesn't need better than me.
His flare is scary.
Good.
Let's talk a little bit about impact.
Starting the week after next.
Or maybe two weeks after next.
Was already in June.
Impact is moving back to Wednesday nights.
Again?
Destination America right now.
A little concern.
Although they're getting the best ratings on the network.
They're worried that the ratings aren't high enough.
Oh, I'm sorry.
Are your 900 big foot shows doing that well?
That you can worry about the ratings for impact?
Absolutely.
Well, when they came on, you remember they did the show before the week before the regular show
Then repeated the regular show.
But they do that.
Yeah.
I like, I kind of like that business model.
They also do impact this next.
Because the same way.
Because I'm going to tell you something.
When they moved to Wednesday nights, they're going to have a problem in this household.
Because I've got so much stuff on Wednesday nights as it is.
Crazy.
Arrow.
Goldbergs.
My wife's got modern family.
SVU.
I've got a lot on Wednesday nights.
And I don't know that it's.
I'm going to have to get the later showing.
And they've also pulled the Saturday morning show.
Destination America has pulled that Saturday morning.
TNA unlocked or whatever it was.
That's gone.
And we're going to talk about that.
The reality show.
No, that was the one where they were giving you like the top five contenders every week and everything.
Yeah.
The second show.
Oh, okay.
But it was a recap show.
And we're going to talk about possibly why they've pulled that show here in a minute.
But next week's show is not going to be a new episode.
Because it's the holiday weekend.
They're re-showing last year's slam of nursery.
Dude.
That's a true story.
The wonder why I was there.
I never do that in the rest of the week.
The wonder that I was there.
That was last year, wasn't it?
Yeah.
We're going to be showing that with about 1,000 people in the crowd.
Because they're actually doing slam of nursery as a paper view this year.
It's their first paper view of the year.
Was a paper view last year.
Remember that?
Mm-hmm.
And I, like I said, one of three, remember last year.
Lockdown was a paper view this year.
It's not.
And they totally ruined bound for glory last year.
Yeah.
That was a joke.
That was about it.
That attendance was nothing.
You saw the photo as I said.
Oh yeah.
Oh yeah.
What I am concerned about when it comes to impact right now.
Let's go ahead and talk about the show.
I just want to say right now.
At least for the foreseeable future.
Please do not turn Christmas on this heel.
Angles pumping him up just a little too much.
And it's starting to worry me.
Because given who that kid is, you cannot turn him heel yet.
Also though, and LA and I were talking about this in pre-show.
I love the rising stuff.
Their gear is awesome.
I love the bit.
I love everything about the rising.
I don't know who kicked Drew Galaway in the butt and taught him how to cut a promo.
But my god that kid's good now.
Maybe he's just trying to outshine his baby mama.
I don't know.
Because I don't like this version of her.
Terrible heel.
Especially in this bit with the doll house.
I actually kind of like it.
It's something different for me.
You know, each that in the each their own.
It doesn't work because it's a different thing.
I don't like the doll house.
I think it's a dumb thing.
Well, the knockouts don't really have anything he over.
Outside of a.
Karma, which is now awesome.
Yeah.
And then you got.
Whenever she feels like being a heel or a face.
What's your name?
Gail.
You know.
He did down to him.
She's kind of a part time.
You kind of noted on it.
Imagine with them, but sky.
You put her with the beautiful people.
Yeah, but she made a good heel.
You put those three.
Terrible as part of beautiful people.
Yeah.
But that would be a very.
But I think you lose her in the shuffle because you've already done that twice.
You did it with Madison rain.
And you did it with Lacey Von Erick.
Right.
Yeah.
And to me, you're kind of putting an overkill at that point.
But I'll tell you what though.
And we'll go house.
Get ahead about about the doll house.
You're bringing the doll house out.
Now, Chad, these are two knockouts together.
Okay.
They have this little kind of a.
Kind of a manga kind of a bit.
Look to them.
And they're about three can't short of a second.
You want it.
You want to get the crowd hyped up when they come to the ring.
How about don't use this for your theme song?
This is their theme music.
They had it.
Fulls doing doll parts.
The song called doll parts by hole.
This is their entrance music.
Do you remember the first one though?
It was something weirder, but it was this.
It was upbeat.
Those chicks make me look normal.
It's just like, really?
Like, I know you want to go for the creepy stuff.
It's just like, really?
Like, I know you want to go for the creepy stuff.
But just because they're leads singers that way.
Doesn't make the entrance music that way.
Who did the, uh, what was the black widow of TNA?
What was her name?
It was what I've returned into.
Tara?
Tara?
Yes.
Tara?
That theme music.
You know, I lost my mind.
Where were that kind of goes?
But it worked for her.
This doesn't work for them.
Just because the word doll is in it.
Doesn't work for them.
And you know what?
You want to know how exposed you are as an announcer, Josh Matthews?
Hey, hey, you know I was on board with him in first.
But he's lost his mind.
Did you see who they've replaced Taz with?
Oh my god.
With the house?
No.
No.
Are they changed again?
Yes.
To the return of Mike TNA.
Oh god.
TNA is back at the announced table.
Man.
That's how bad Matthews has gotten.
How do you escape from the old folks home?
I don't know.
Okay.
Because I was watching impact and it didn't hit me at first.
Because all my ears kept catching was Matthews and I'm like,
Who is he talking? Oh my god.
It's TNA.
Okay.
My grandpa's back.
I might be out of loop on this boat.
What the heck happened to Taz?
Because he was on assignment.
And what happened with that assignment?
He was on assignment when he left the company.
That was the assignment.
Because somebody wasn't really happy about not getting paid on time.
Oh yeah.
That can happen.
Even though we've got severely differing opinions on that whole subject when it comes to the company.
Which tells me some people are getting paid on time and some aren't.
Yeah.
Like I said, that wanted to show a couple weeks back.
Because the towns getting paid.
But all the other people.
No.
We don't care.
We can find another rip or in a second.
And I will say this.
What they're doing with the tag titles right now.
It is dirty heels, which is.
Austin Aries and Robert Roode, who really aren't.
Bobby Roode, who really aren't heels.
But they're going to write the dirty heels.
Against the wolves in a best of five series.
Yeah.
You have my attention.
Because I'm going to tell you something.
And I've said this on this show.
And if Dixie did this, I wouldn't be mad.
I said on this show.
When they did that best of five when it was beer money.
And the Motor City machine guns.
Why that is not its own DVD set.
I will never understand.
Because that was five of the best tag team matches.
I've ever watched in my world.
Like those multiple series.
Well, like what the heart is and the wolves and all that.
That was kind of good too.
Not nearly as good.
But only problem I have with that is that they are ready.
Did.
Are you taking my coat for wood?
Kids.
Anyway.
Let's take a look.
Yeah.
I didn't really dig the whole three tag teams.
I mean, you were drawing it out.
It was fun.
It wasn't great.
Right.
That best of five with Motor City machine guns and beer money.
Those all were all five five star matches to me.
But do you see that?
But those guys have been on each other for decades.
I mean, what about this?
I mean, the wolves haven't known dirty heels that long.
I mean, for those guys.
But you're dealing with probably four of the best wrestlers in the company right now.
And I think the chemistry there.
And that match Friday night was great.
I'm ready for the next four.
And I hope they do it the same way they did with Motor City machine guns and beer money.
We're each matches at different stipulations because those matches were amazing.
And I think this has a lot of potential here too.
Yeah.
You got my attention with that.
And did you watch the show Friday night?
I missed it.
Dawn, did you watch Friday night?
Actually, don't ask.
I forgot to record it.
Can I just say that today actually use the name Brodus?
Whoa.
Really?
No, no, in the business.
Yeah.
Question was that a delay show or live?
It was delay.
The last week was live.
They still ran it?
Yep.
And Matthews corrected him.
And then Matthews goes.
And remember Anderson gets EC3 one on one if tightest wins.
No, it's the other way around you moron.
You had a weak to fix this.
But you know what?
Anderson EC3, I think it's going to be fun this Friday night.
Or no, I'm sorry.
A week from Friday because this Friday they'll reach out and slam a verse three.
Or maybe it's a week from Wednesday.
We don't know.
My DVR will figure it out.
That's why you have to set it for any day, any time, no regrets.
For those of you on 18 to you version.
And I said this earlier.
And I'm making a bold prediction about the rising.
The guy that they didn't use in the main event is going to turn heal on him.
I'm saying it now.
So it happened to hurt it here first.
You are listening to the Clubhouse podcast live every Sunday,
70's from Fort Pacific.
If you miss any section of the show, you we go on archive.
Almost immediately after we go off air.
Plus subscribe on iTunes.
And you'll get a ton of stuff that the live audience does not get.
We like those people better.
Don't tell them.
Alright gentlemen, let's run the card real quick.
I have to pull up my other window here.
The pre show on WWE Network is going on right now.
Your pre show tag match.
The ascension versus the meta powers.
Oh darn it.
I'm kind of torn on this because I really want the meta powers to go over.
But I feel so bad for the ascension because they're just getting buried.
And like I said on this show last week.
If you're any tag team and NXT right now, you go.
Nope.
Don't need to move to the main roster.
We're good here.
But I'm going to say the meta powers go over chat.
Do you care?
No.
Done.
I got to go with my send out.
L.A.
The ascension needs a push final.
I'm going with the ascension.
Okay fair enough.
So let's see where am I going to be here.
These are not necessarily at any specific order.
They're just my order of importance.
King Barrett because he did winning King of the ring last week.
Versus Neville.
Chabble start with you.
It'd be kind of pointless for you to give Barrett a loss after he got made king in the ring.
So it's a fair point.
Don.
I think they're going to push Neville.
I'll go Neville.
Okay.
I like.
Barrett's been dropping a lot of matches.
And they're not given any prestige to this whole king of the ring.
Think if he loses another one.
I say these guys going to double count out or something to keep dragging this on.
I agree with L.A.
I think they're shenanigans because you can't really have Barrett go over.
But you can't get him a loss either because it'll kill his right.
I think they're shenanigans involved in this deal.
And there's a DQ maybe he gets caught hitting Neville with the sector or something.
Or they get counted out or something like that.
That's going to lead to something bigger at the chamber.
I think they both wind up in the chamber for the icy title.
Yeah.
That sounds about right.
You put a guy like Neville in that chamber.
Do you have a god?
Somebody's going up.
Jumping up at the top of a chamber.
I'm sorry.
All right.
Also in singles competitions tonight.
Dolph Ziegler versus Chi Amis.
So good to hear the crowd yelling you.
Look, Stu.
But Donald will start with you.
Actually, I'm going to go with Shamus on this.
But I think after the match, Dolph gets his revenge from the Kiss Me Arts match.
All right, L.A.
I'm going to go with, I think Dolph will pull this out in the whole roll-up school.
Boy, deal.
Chat.
Yeah.
Same here.
I think Shamus wins.
But I think it's a reverse of the finish at Extreme Rules.
Where Shamus wins the match.
But that's how Dolph gets his revenge from the Kiss Me Arts match.
Because that's the exact opposite of what happened at Extreme Rules.
I still think Vince should have showed up, but that's just me.
All right.
Two out of three falls.
Actually, you know what?
We're going to hold off on that.
Because we have another, we have to deal with the divas match.
Because there's nothing on the line here.
It's a divas tag match.
Is that when we run for food or go to the match?
Naomi and Tamina versus the Bella twins.
Now.
Yeah.
This past weekend at a house show.
Apparently the Bella's are on a face turn because Paige came out to help Nicky Bella.
When she was attacked by Naomi and Tamina.
So I think you're going to get Paige shenanigans tonight.
All right.
Yeah.
I'm going to go with.
But they've been dropping to the Bella's all for the last two weeks or so.
And aren't they on their way out?
Go Bella's again?
Yeah.
Aren't they getting ready to leave?
When their contract is up, but I don't know when their contract's up.
Give me the Bella's man.
I got to go with a face to win somebody's matches.
Chad.
This is if we are truly getting a face turn from the Bella's.
I mean, how much stock are we putting in that?
It's a common out to help them against Naomi and Tamina.
They've been pushing them as faces about the last two weeks though.
When you think of them?
Bella's three weeks.
Yeah.
This, you know, the little small things here there that are getting a crowd to like them again.
Hmm.
This is just a weird match to me.
Yeah.
I really can't make hands or tails of it.
Very, very strange.
Yeah.
This one's too hard to call for me.
There's too much, there's too much gray area.
And another single's match.
Oh, my pick is actually Naomi.
I'm sorry.
Yeah.
So you're going with the heels.
Yeah.
And another match, which I think this one may lead the card.
Because there's no need for it.
I think both of these guys deserve a better feud than this.
Right back and break Wyatt.
Nice spot on, on Raw with Wyatt hitting that, that spear to the side or right back.
I mean, as a great spot, it was a great bit.
I just don't know if these two have styles that can mesh together.
What?
Yeah.
You got a point, but I mean, with the whole right.
Brays been out.
He dropped two big matches.
It's his time to stay.
I mean, the only way you can keep selling them is by him.
Taking this match, tenfold.
Done.
Wyatt.
Chad.
Wyatt.
Not here.
I've actually heard Rumblings that they're talking about turning him face.
Not for a while.
The rumors for Bray Wyatt.
I'm hearing is one of the next two majors.
I mean, it doesn't make a heck of a lot of sense to me.
But and here's why I think you're going to have to push that back.
Because now you've got Rowan and Harper back together.
Do we have a true Wyatt family reunion?
Got to a shit the broke up in the first place.
Agreed.
Yeah.
This the sum is better than the individual parts.
I love Bray Wyatt as a character.
I think you've got a great wrestling style, but the other two need him.
I may need each other badly.
You know what, Luke can can't actually hold his only.
He can't.
But he did.
The charisma aspect.
Yeah.
Nothing on the mic.
Again, the sum of the parts are better than the individuals in my name.
All right.
Two out of three falls.
Tag team championship on the line.
Masters of the WWE universe.
Cesaro and Tyson kid.
Versus the new day.
Who would they finally figured out how to turn heal.
All the way.
I don't like the way they turn Kobe Kingston heal.
Kind of the lackey, and I think he's better than that.
Dawn.
I'm actually going to, as much as I hate them the new day.
Chad, not a chance.
Not a chance on the new day.
Okay.
LA.
Love the Masters of the universe bit.
I think it's been a while so you saw a tag team like that.
But I just want to let you guys know.
Don't be sour.
Just more here he goes.
Last for your tag champs.
Any notros.
For me.
And feels a power.
They don't keep the titles till the time.
I was going to say it's a chamber wasn't in two weeks.
My prediction would be different.
I think the new day holds on to the titles and drops them at the chamber.
Exactly.
And I don't think they drop them to Cesaro and kid.
Man of course.
I think they're with me.
Me.
You know what?
Okay.
They never held the belts today.
Put the belts on the prime time players.
I'm in on that.
Go back two years and tell me I'm going to say that.
And I punch you in the face.
You probably have to be submitted for psychiatric evaluations.
This iteration of the prime time players.
I am really enjoying.
And what's great for me is that is black versus black.
For those of you that have never met LA he is of African American descent.
But again see.
And that's the thing about the prime time players.
That's the same thing as the Wyatt's together.
Great.
Separately not so much.
And it's weird to me.
But yeah.
I mean I really think that's what happens.
I think the chamber wasn't in two weeks.
They dropped the belts.
Right.
But if you're going to do a chamber match in two weeks.
And you're going to put the belts in the chamber.
They'll hold on to it.
Yeah.
I agree.
Yeah.
I quit match.
You're not a stage champion.
Chip on the line.
One scene as American cousin John Cena.
And Lucith much.
I think we all can determine with pitch perfect to making over sixty million dollars
at the box office this weekend.
The Lana turn happens two night.
I don't think she turns and joins forces with one scene.
But here's what happens.
Here's my prediction.
She turns face goes off on her own.
Fuses with Rosa Mendez over Fondango.
Think about Raw three weeks ago.
Where she was Fondangoing with him.
But that's how you get her to get into the Davis division.
She's officially with Adam Rose though.
Officially.
Oh yeah.
I keep forgetting about the Adam Rose thing.
But maybe she gets jealous that if she can't have him.
No other woman can't either.
And then you have a Fondango Adam Rose.
Do you not want to see Lana in the wrestling ring sir?
Do you care how it happens?
Do you want to see Fondango versus Adam Rose?
You know what I kind of do.
You know what I kind of do.
I don't want it to mix tag.
You don't want to do that.
Yeah.
But I think the two of them could go to go well together in the ring.
Both young kids both both have that fast pace style.
And I think Adam Rose is due for a decent run.
You know what I love.
I love that scene is music is playing.
We're talking about his man.
And we're not even talking about him.
That's great.
That's your hatred for John Cena.
And fatal for a way.
We all we all.
Oh, that's right.
I'm going to head done.
We all picking.
I won't say his name because I refuse to.
John Chana.
John Chana.
John Chana.
Chana is going to win.
John Chana.
Yeah.
Chad.
Yeah.
Yeah.
I think we're all in agreement.
fatal for a way.
WWE World Heavyweight Championship on the line.
Seth Rollins versus Rowan Rains versus Dean Ambrose versus Randy Orton.
If Rollins does not hold on to the title,
can we'll be fired as director of operations.
Chad.
He's getting ready to leave too, but they don't know when, right?
He can.
He's been talking about.
He's just trying to get him to work backstage.
Right.
You think this is that time?
He has that time.
It's not my turn yet.
I'm.
I'm.
I'm.
I'm.
I'm.
I'm.
I'm putting money on.
But I'd rather you didn't.
Yeah.
Remember.
I'm leaning towards.
This is for entertainment purposes only.
I'm leaning towards that.
I think that they show him the door.
But who?
Kane.
Who wins?
If Rollins doesn't win, who wins?
You have three other choices.
Gosh.
I don't know.
I just didn't figure the game was going to win.
Chad Womick.
Committer of predictions.
Yeah.
Don.
My head says.
Rollins, but my heart says Ambrose.
Let's see.
Your head said rocks in water when you shoot.
It's like.
It's like I'm here.
It's rocks in there.
You know.
If I had a bet, you know, I would put it on Rollins.
But I think Ambrose has a shot.
Just because I want Ambrose to win.
I just don't know if he's going to.
Yeah.
I'm withholding my judgment yet.
LA.
We all know that the futures now.
Seth Rollins will be walking out of there with that WWE championship.
I agree with LA because.
It's gonna be WWE World.
Heavyweight championship.
Suplex cities coming tonight.
I've heard rumors of tomorrow night.
To set up for SummerSlam.
I truly believe Rollins is only going to drop that belt to one person.
And that one person's name is Brock Lesnar.
God.
He's going to kill him.
Good night.
And as much as I.
My heart would love to see either Ambrose or Rains win the thing.
Because for me, Orton doesn't need the title.
He's gotten to that that triple H point in his career,
where he has transcended the belt.
Yeah.
Which was weird for me to say about Randall Keith Orton.
But don't give it to Ambrose before Rains.
I think.
I think Rains is the last point.
The least likely to win it.
I just, I just think.
Something Rollins retained.
I just do.
That's what my head thinks.
But my, I like to see Ambrose win it.
All right.
I got this thing up.
As the card stands right now, Chad rate the card.
I give it as C plus.
Oh, really?
A little above average.
Same.
A little bit of intrigue here.
Don.
With the make of powers.
I mean, Meta powers.
I'm going to say a B minus.
That's in the free show, though.
I know, but still.
It has my hero on there.
For me.
Yeah.
This is a tough one for me.
Because.
God, it's females was bad.
Yeah.
It wasn't capital punishment, but it was bad.
I don't like capital.
I don't know where to go, but I'm already.
I'm going to say C minus right now.
But I really think the fatal four way could push it to a B minus.
The potentials there.
I think the tag team title match has potential to push that up the card.
But those are really the only two matches I'm looking forward to on the main card.
Because they're going to save them for the chamber.
I think a lot of the big stuff.
I think I'm ready for the chamber.
Oh, yeah.
You know how much I love the chamber.
So predictions are in.
Grades are in.
Anything else we want to add before we wrap this bad boy up and go set on the green room?
Let's light this candle.
Gentlemen.
I just want to say congratulations.
To the clubhouse for 300.
Thank you sir.
You know what?
We have to talk about that for just a second.
We've got a little bit of time.
300 episodes.
300 times.
I have sat in this chair.
That chair.
Well, not actually not this chair, but other chairs in this position.
That doesn't count the items exclusive.
Right.
It doesn't count.
We've done 101 of those.
It's bigger to be speaking that chair.
You know, yes.
And I know that I promised the empire that I would re-air the pilot.
And I will do that.
But I just haven't had a whole lot of time in the last few weeks.
Maybe next week and over the holiday.
Almost five years ago.
With a completely different configuration in this studio.
There was just an idea of.
We talked about all this kind of cool stuff.
Maybe people will care to hear it.
Thinking back then to now.
And we're getting ready to wrap up season five here gentlemen in less than two months.
God.
We wrap up season five of this show.
And this show has been through so many changes and so many iterations.
But the heart of this show is still what it is.
It's something that we love to do.
It's something that we love to share with people.
And we've made so many great friends that we didn't even have before the show.
Half of this studio.
We didn't know before we did this thing.
This is true.
There's people that are going to be coming over to the green room tonight.
That the only reason we know them is because of this show.
We have made such amazing friends.
And our friends from even before there was a show who have supported this show.
For almost a half of a decade now.
We're still having as much if not more fun than we had on July 12th of 2010.
And I believe the date on that is right.
And I'm about three years ago.
That's where I saw your show at the Fox and the Hound.
It was elimination chamber.
And especially in the last two years.
If not the last year.
I mean, John Landis and the directors of the Lego movie on the show at the same time.
Did you ever think that would happen?
Never.
And it happened.
It happened.
We've gotten to meet so many great people.
We've been so blessed.
And we can't do it without you guys.
Without people listening to the show and giving a crap about us running our yaps.
None of this happens.
And I know we always do our thank yous at the end of every season.
We're going to do those again in July.
But thank you to everybody that's ever worked on this show.
My original co-host Cody Hawkins who's still a wonderful friend.
Mr. who I was just got a text from.
She had a big event out in Rockwell today that I hope went well.
Everybody that's ever guessed it on this show.
The official Justin Timberlake of this show.
Who we have not seen in forever in front of a microphone in this studio.
And we're going to fix that very, very soon.
Charlotte, we love you.
Everybody that's ever checked in in the chat room.
A big shout out to Big Dawn.
Host of raise talk 39X.
Who is?
That brother's living the dream.
Yep.
Shout out to him.
Thank you to Fox and Hound.
Who really helped us bring this show to a different level.
By letting us do WWE pre-shows.
And we're not saying that's not out of the question in the future.
Once they get all their technical glitches worked out.
And all that good stuff.
We just can't thank each and every one of you enough.
If you're listening to the sound of my voice right now.
I say thank you.
Into all of our great.
All of our business partners.
All of our vendors.
All of our vendors.
Yeah.
That that give us the chance to bring you guys our opinions on stuff.
And that have really helped us take this thing to a different level.
Especially with the Dallas International Film Festival Dallas video fest.
And all the great stuff that's come from that.
It's just I never thought we would ever do anything on this level.
I thought it would just end up being just a couple of us running our apps for a couple hours a week in my office.
We can't thank you enough.
Oh, brother, the honor is mine.
Without you, there's none of this.
Without you know.
I do what I can.
Chad.
You know.
All right, you guys are welcome.
You know.
And a show is only as good as the people on it.
Yeah.
We've only done one solo adventure for a reason.
And the only reason we did that solo adventure was because I kind of had to do that night.
Having Chad here across the desk.
Just to be that person that I bounce off of.
And it's all not talking to myself for two hours.
Makes all the difference in the world.
Having done, you know, check our facts so that we're not completely full of crap.
Helps.
And my workouts at the video.
That's right.
I love doing.
I love doing that.
Being said, it's almost time for payback.
