Special Edition WWE WrestleMania 32 2016

The following is a sooner or later production.
Good morning.
I am ready for the jam.
Our Fred!
It's my house, come on, tell it out, oh, here we knock on the door and the night begins.
Cause we're done this before, so you come on in.
Make yourself look my home, tell it out, oh, here we knock on the door and the night begins.
Cause we're done this before, so you come on in.
Make yourself look my home, tell me where you been.
Put yourself something cold, baby cheers to those.
Sometimes you gotta stay in, and you know where I live.
Greetings, Empire member, and door members.
It is 602 on the East Coast.
It is 302 on the West Coast.
It is the third of April and the year of our Lord, 2016.
Season 6, Episode 33, excuse me, 300, and 38 times.
This voice has welcomed you to the Clubhouse podcast.
I'm so excited, I can't even keep my breath.
But it's not just a normal show.
It is Wrestlemania Day.
So this is our special, unofficial official pre-show for Wrestlemania 32.
Happening about 30 miles from where the studio is at AT&T Stadium.
Which is why the lineup is going to sound a little bit weird today.
My name is Rob, I am the executive producer of the Clubhouse podcast,
and it's already been one heck of a weekend, and we're not even done yet.
My normal co-host for this show is Chad Womik. He is out on assignment today,
so hopefully we'll have him back next week.
Got a lot of big stuff coming up in the next couple of weeks.
Dawn, who would normally be here, is actually at AT&T Stadium in a seat for Wrestlemania 32.
So we've got all guests in me today.
You're probably something to think, and please a lot of be just you.
I wouldn't do that to you.
Joining me in the co-host seat desk today
is a man that we swear last night at the Hall of Fame we thought he had died
his beard black and was roaming the streets of Dallas,
but the last we were in correct.
He is the ginger ninja, he is the king of bowling, he is Andrew Beckham.
Welcome sir.
Thank you, actually died my beard brown.
Oh, did you?
Okay, fair enough.
We'll just from end working for you.
Yeah.
I just went there helping you out.
I just wanted to, yeah, he showed me how to get the co-man proper.
Oh, just very important.
It's evening out.
That's right.
Joining me across the desk is a man who is not necessarily upset there
that he's not at the event, but more upset that he's missing out
and probably one of the greatest shirts from one of his favorite factions.
That's only being sold at WrestleMania Access.
He is LA.
Welcome sir.
Yo, yo, yo, yo.
America.
This is not the beat team.
This is the new team.
Okay.
I didn't say the beat team.
It's just, it's a different lineup.
Yeah, we're not guests.
We're, we're actually, you know, club house
Founding members in, in so to speak.
In some of the sun cases.
Also joining us, and I know Chad's going to be really upset
that I'm about to introduce this man because it seems like every time he's on the show
is when Chad's not here.
He is the doctor of drunkenomics.
Yo, he is John Houser.
Welcome sir.
How's it going, everybody?
Have you been a good time there?
Oh, man.
It's a good day.
It's a great day.
Did you hear that?
You just heard one of the five theme songs for WrestleMania 32.
Well, the beer pop or the lighthouse by Floor Rida.
Oh, yeah.
This is a hail to the king from the avenged sevenfold for the kids of the club,
closing the hair.
Kind of an interesting mishmash of different genres for themes this year.
We'll talk about those when they hit.
We start every show with corrections.
And we're not even going to play the music because I didn't hear anything that
need to be corrected from last week.
So we're good.
We're going to dive right in.
There's a lot going on this weekend, not just WWE related.
If for those of you that have never experienced WrestleMania or anything of its ilk,
WrestleMania weekend is when promotions from everywhere,
converge on the city where WrestleMania is.
Our OH was in town this weekend.
Don actually got to go to a ring of honor.
Nice.
He was there Friday night.
And he did want me to let everybody know that his night was made.
His whole weekend was made on Friday night.
When one of Dalton Castle's boys gave him his.
His, uh, peacock fan.
Wow.
He said he actually got a chance.
He couldn't get any interviews done.
Our OH kind of has kind of a tighter lid on that with their PR.
But he did get to talk to Dalton Castle for about five minutes.
And he said his favorite part of this conversation.
He told Dalton Castle how big of a fan he was.
And Dalton Castle said, well, I'm a big fan of you.
Did he invite him back to the hotel or?
I don't know.
But kind of like a celebratory inductee of the boy member number three.
You're maybe, I don't know.
It's a school of recon.
But he said it was he said it was a really, really good show.
So great matches.
That'll be airing on ROH television coming up.
You might see him on TV because he was right there on the corner.
He actually waived a dollar bill in front of Taylor Hendrickson's.
It's a great.
But a wrestle con going on this weekend.
Friend of the show, Jay Stong, had a lot of stuff that he took a ton of pictures.
Misty and Diane have been in access.
I think three different times this weekend.
A lot of great pictures from the empire from Wrestlemania weekend out there.
For those of you that have been trying to find the pre show on USA.
USA is only carrying the second hour of the pre show.
So as you're listening right now, you can tune in on USA.
But just mute it because we'll be off the air before Wrestlemania starts.
Because we want to watch the paper view.
If you're just missed, if you're just tuning into the pre show,
Khalisto did successfully retain the US title over Ryback.
Thus pushing Ryback's push back even further.
Is there a pre pre show?
Because if so, I'm sure he'll start in there.
Well, just remember there's seven hours of programming tonight.
There's a two hour pre show.
Wrestlemania is four hours long.
And then they're doing a one hour post show.
So if they did this again next year,
Ryback is probably in danger.
He might wrestle at access.
He could never know.
In XT might be hiring.
He'll be wrestling to get into XT.
But I'm glad you mentioned that.
NXT takeover of Dallas was Friday night.
From all accounts and all things I've read went very, very well.
Had a couple of belts change hands.
Yes.
So that you had that going for you.
Last night was the Hall of Fame.
I was there.
Chad and Don and I were all there.
I used to friend of the show.
Brian who really took care of us last night.
He's also taking care of us tomorrow night for Raw.
I've watched the Hall of Fame pretty much every year.
Because I think it's a really cool time to look back at some of the people that I grew up watching.
People that might not have gotten recognition otherwise because they weren't earlier forms of the promotion or other promotions.
That Vince absorbed as the years went on.
Last night was an amazing show.
Last night was a really, really great show.
really great show. You'll see a picture of the Don Chat and I if you go to our Facebook page,
sitting out there having a good time, um, and did very bitter sweetly for me. Your headliner,
of course, was sting, and he announced his retirement at the end of the speech last night.
And there were a lot of people that reacted a little adversely to it, and what you have to understand
is, father time is undefeated. You know what I mean? This guy has been added for
over almost three decades, and he was in his 20s when he started in the business. So, for him
to have held up as long as he has, is nothing short of a modern miracle. And to be in the room,
to see my leader announces retirement, I think he's done in the ring. I don't know that he's done
with WWE. And we can talk about that a little bit more, uh, as a time on the free birds were great.
I did not recognize Jimmy Garfin, but, you know, again, father time is undefeated.
Here comes theme number three for today's WrestleMania, Flow Rida and Jason Derulo. Hello Friday
for an event that's on Sunday. Moving on, uh, back to NXT takeover Dallas, Bobby Roots
Sitting ringside. That was awesome. Does this mean anything? I mean, I mean, I mean,
I'm assuming you watched the show. Yes. How much was he featured on on the show? Because that's
really what's going to determine how I feel about this. They did a lot of cut spots on a lot of people
there. They started with the tag titles match showing J.R. and, uh, J.R. was there? Yeah. Yeah,
it was easy to do with some appearances in House of Blues this weekend as well. Yeah, it was J.R.
Maybe his daughter wives something like that. Then they showed a celebrity somewhere there. And then it was
Rick Flare and, uh, Charlotte and then finally Bobby Root and it was a
long look at Bobby Root there in a pivotal match. And I think it was the match with Joe and,
Finn Ballard for the, for the NXT title. Right. They showed Root right before that. So yeah.
That was a good sign to me. Because I think Bobby Root, you guys already know, is I think he's the
Triple H 2.0. I'm just having a doc check. We're getting reports from from the stadium.
Charlotte's there. Don's there. And we're trying to keep things moving. Charlotte just want to make
sure that right now the 10 diva tag match is underway from the stadium. If you haven't had
chase to the pre show yet, make sure you didn't listen to us. Uh, the entrance way looks great.
Yeah, it really, really does. And a lot of problems getting people into the stadium. Don said
he got there at about three. And he was there were 10 people in front of them in line. He got to
his chair about 10 after four. He said that the number of people waiting to get into that stadium is
the same right now. Okay. So we hope they can get a hundred thousand people in there before six
o'clock central. You guys try to host to your response and excitement about that diva is a battle
royal. Well, I want to talk about that. I definitely want to talk about that. You seem to be excited
about that, guys. Yeah, you mentioned it so much. And you went overboard talking about that.
I know there were 10 divas to put into to a match. Well, I, I fully want to hold on to that,
because I, that, that came that part of that has to do with what we were talking about raw
because something very strange happened there. Uh, yeah, as an understanding. Nicky Bello is not
going to be able to return to the ring full time at this point. They're not sure if she ever will.
So that's going for you. Uh, you know, on the other side of that, we don't want to say congratulations.
I mean, when you go to the Hall of Fame, you know everybody shows up. And it was great to see all the
past and present superstars, uh, Edge and Beth Phoenix, they're there in the second row, expecting
their second child we found out today. So congratulations to them. Wow. Yeah, they've been
together for a while. I was a little confused right now. Yeah, they're having another kid. They
make sense. Yeah, they've been together for a few years now. What a match that is every night.
That's no wonder he had a retireally. And it was announced that July 24th is your date for
Battleground will be at the Verizon Center in Washington, DC. Here is the fifth. I'm going to see the fourth
theme for a Wrestlemania. It is Motorhead's cover of Simpathy for the Devil. Man, it's just getting
better. Yeah. Dockwood, Dockwood, Dockwood, let's test to this. Yes, what now? This is the theme number four.
For WrestleMania. This is a Motorhead's version of Simpathy for the Devil. Oh, yeah. Let me some
motorhead. Yeah, I got rest of the soul. I did a long time ago. All right, gentlemen, let's talk about
RAW. Rest of the music play through. Laudish show have ever been to except for Maiden. Oh, wow.
Why did it in Romshting? Oh, Raw. Well, that was just a beautiful show. Yes, and Romshting will be back in
America in July. Oh, yes. All right, so let's talk. First of all, did everybody watch RAW this week?
I know Doc, you didn't get one able to. Yeah. I was hammered. I caught the first hour. Brooklyn was on fire.
Yeah, Brooklyn. That crowd always. Wow. I mean, that crowd really impressed me. I was very impressed
by that. I would be surprised. This is a quick note. I wouldn't be surprised if they do a Brooklyn
show every RAW right before WrestleMania. What depends on where WrestleMania is going to be?
I just think that it gives it a whole new excitement because everybody is now amped up.
If you also understand the pressure that's on this town tomorrow night for RAW,
with the way the RAW is after WrestleMania have gone in the last three or four years.
Yeah, we're going to have to bring it tomorrow night. Got it. Hey, they brought it in XT.
Oh, they brought it in XT. I didn't need to get to watch that. Oh, did anybody else?
Let me talk about this a little bit at Wednesday night. Did anybody else hear Cole dropped the S bomb?
No. I looked at, man, I looked at it. I didn't catch it. Right after Shane attacks the
undertaker because I think somebody dropped one right before that. And Shane, I don't know if Cole was
trying to say Shane hit, but both words kind of blended together. And I rewound it like three
times. I don't know. That was the S bomb. So, Ariana Grande dropped it on Sirenaut Live.
Oh, did she? Yeah. I missed that. Oh, she dropped it. Like first sketch.
And we got a win for Zach Ryder. He won him on it. Yeah, he did. That's right. Sorry. You know,
the Zach train is long past. Is that train coming back around? And am I the only one that
believes that the League of Nations are becoming the social outcasts? Yeah, I think they're switching
roles. I like the new shirts. I like the new shirts. Yeah, but it's like who cares? This thing
maybe five years ago, this works better, but this is not working. And especially when you call
yourselves the nickname of the lads, I think you're running out of steam there, buddy. Yeah. And
bear it just just go. I mean, I love you, but just just go. And speaking of feeling bad for people,
I really feel bad for the essential. I really thought this was going to go better because
they it doesn't definitely shows a difference between NXT and the main roster because they were
huge over in NXT. They were tag champs. And you could these guys couldn't catch fire if you
poured gasoline on them and threw a blow torch in their direction. And I don't understand why
they're a good tag team. Maybe it's just a bad bit that doesn't translate over. I don't know.
I'm just not sure what sets them apart at this point. They still look like everybody else and I don't
get the bit at this point. And it looks like I maybe I've we dissolved the connection between them
and Cody wrote. I think so. It's just weird. And we did get the return of Emma
on Monday night. All right, apparently LA is a little stopped up. And if Emma, if you're going to
have her work heel, you're going to have to change the theme music. It doesn't work if you're
here. Did they? She won. She won whatever match that was. It was that diva's match. She won that
match. And then it kind of like played some dark music. And I was like, okay, finally because the
Santino bit is done. So Zach Rider wins and his girlfriend shows up on Monday night raw. I'm just saying
interesting. And boy, they brought out the fifth member of the diva's face tag team. Who's that?
Eva Marie. Oh, boy, that fell flat. Like it was bad. It was like she showed up and nobody cared.
We kind of still know was weird. Like I don't know if they thought that was going to get
over more than it did. But there's a lot of people, especially that don't watch NXT,
that still have that real bad taste in their mouth when it comes to her because she's just
she's sparing everybody to death. And it doesn't help any that that's the character they
make her out to be on the diva's show too. Yeah, you know, it's like showing up in a lot of those
girls exactly. But is it really supposed to or is it just supposed to be another show that WWE's
throwing out there? I think I think it might ease the water too much. And I wouldn't be surprised if
you catch that show slowly making its way to the WWE network. Because I can't see E continuing.
It's getting good ratings for you though. Okay. I refuse to watch you and you work as it's
the soup's gone. Ben. Chitical ratings. That's true. Best wishes to Luke Harper who had ACL
surgery this past week. Okay. We'll be out five to six months in the prognosis. And he's going to
they're going to wrestling logic is going to make him a face or something like that. I'm sure.
Here's your final theme for tonight. This is Goodbye June from Oh No. And who goodbye June is the
band. Oh no. Is this all? See you, June. Yeah. I don't know. Maybe she's Felicia's sister.
I don't know. See you, June and bye Felicia. Would it be Sayonara?
Short. I don't know. What's the, I suck it. Yeah, you're ready to do it.
Yeah, you're ready to do it. Yeah, you're ready to do it. Yeah, you're ready to do it.
Also rumors of the retirement of Brebella tomorrow night. As she is going to write
up into the sunset and speaking of the divas tonight is your final divas match. Yes, it is. Really.
The rumor is tomorrow night. The divas match will be rebranded back into the women's division
with a brand new belt, which is going to be a smaller version of the WWE World Heavyweight
title with a white strap on it. So he says sterile. So here's my question. So the intercontinental
championship belt. Kind of sort. Oh, but I floated this theory last night to the boys and they were like,
interesting. And I'm not saying this is my official prediction.
But you know, I'm going to hold onto it. I'm going to package that because it's going to
kind of muddy the water a little bit. I think I should, but I do have a theory on that.
Did the divas title actually have a different color strap than black before at one point
when they first introduced it? Was it purple? I think it was. Yeah, right. I think that's probably
a better look if they make the divas title make it a girly color. You know, I don't care if it's
blue. Actually, that white will look good though. But you already got the IC belt with that tradition.
So you got to have a different color. I think maybe they're trying to make it like the IC. You know,
maybe I said last night, last night, last night of the holiday with the last night of the holiday,
they were selling the double eagle belt with the blue background that Sean was using nice and they were
selling the intercontinental belt belt with the yellow strap that ultimately were used absolutely
so you have cool stuff at the holiday in my sky. A couple of smackdown notes because the smackdown
before Mania's not really worth talking about them, because mostly it's just recaps and footage from
access. Only three matches. But first of all, the walkway looks amazing. If you haven't seen them,
the walkway yet for the aisle looks amazing. And yet granted it would be a booking nightmare.
But I think AJ taker would have been fun.
Feanom versus phenomenal. Not yet. I think. Hey, yeah, not at least they have no more. You can get it one more year.
AJ has not been fully inducted into the WWE. Well, as I said, we'll talk about that here in a minute.
This won't be the first time that they've set up a WrestleMania match a year before either. It's a fair point.
Okay. I'm sorry, Dr. Johnson. No, I'm good. And we still don't know what the rocks involved
in his tonight. Not, not. He said he said he was out at the stadium last night. They were doing
some kind of a dry run. But nobody's talking. He's got to do some other stone cold. That's
going to happen. He's like the MC for the whole thing. He's going to be the host again because that
works so well the last time. I don't even think they're doing host anymore. And that's a good idea.
Not to do that. Because then you're the host. You weren't doing anything anyway. You showed up at the
beginning. Maybe you showed up later on. That's not a host. Yeah. The only the best thing was the rock
thing. You got Stoneco and Hulk Hogan. You did that already. We don't want to see that every year.
And probably Hogan would have gotten the name of the stadium right out. We do know that
sign guy does have a sign currently. That says Jerry Jones needs an F5. Agreed. So that's going on.
The same he is there. We've seen a bunch of pictures from him. Doc and I did see courtesy of
Charlotte taking a picture of Lillian in her beautiful blue dress. Looking great. Awesome as always.
All right, boys. Let's run the card. Pre-show matches that are left. Any updates from the
living room doc. No, I'll go check real quick. Okay. We know we still have the Uso's versus the
Dudley boys left. Let me pull up Don's text message here. We'll scroll down because he's been sending
me a lot of pictures. Okay. So Doc is saying Uso's over the Dudley's Andrew. Yeah, you're going to do
something to push those guys. So the Uso's won. They've been ten chains. Where you were not pushing
them for. That tells you how much I know. I watched Raw twice a month and I didn't even know
they were tag champions. We're not currently, but they have that. Oh, they have. Yeah, I know.
You're current tag champs with a new day. Oh, what do you say they were champion?
They need a push. They've been champs before. Why would they need a push? Because they're the
Uso's and they have no charisma. They have no charisma. Is that your prediction?
No. Who's no? What do you do with the Dudley's if you give the Uso's this W?
Is that still going? No. There we go. Okay. So the match is over. Okay.
But what do you what do you do? What do you do with the Dudley's if you give the Uso's this W?
What do you do with them? I don't know. And you have to have brought them back for a reason.
So I got to give the night based off shenanigans to the Dudley's. Or if the Uso wins this
Uso's going through a table. Okay, Doc. Oh, Dudley's. Tell these went every match. That's
way. Yeah. I think you care if they lose. They still win. They still win. Yeah. It is WrestleMania.
They're really amazing. I am going to pick the Uso's because it is WrestleMania and the face is
tend to do well at WrestleMania overall. We're going to call the tag team match a wash because it is
over. Don. Let's see. Does everyone in the crown one? Because the match is over. Yeah.
Let's try to see. Don says that faces would win that match. We don't know. I haven't got the
notification on WWE yet. LA. Yeah. Let's go with a face. Doc. Peels. All right. Andrew face. I'm going to say
the face as well. Just because it's the Davis division. And we're going to call the U.S. Championship
match a wash because it was over before we could predict it. I got a prediction. Oh, we can't do that now.
Right back. No, you can't. And I'm still and don't actually want to correct you, particularly.
So let's get into the main card at this point. In a match that I'm not sure we need. And again,
this is not in any specific order. This is just in the order. I think they're going to go with
if I booked it. AJ Jericho 97. AJ has to win this. Get this angle out of the way.
Don says AJ is well, Doc. I want Jericho to win. I wanted to give a beat down on AJ, but unfortunately,
I think it's going to turn AJ. Okay. Andrew. I think AJ is going to win as well. He. He needs this.
Okay. You guys are aware that AJ wins this. That'll be two WrestleMania's that Jericho has
job to someone. I don't think Jericho cares. I don't think he knows either. I mean, so I go with AJ
because why is he here? You got to make him your star. Yeah. So yeah, it's AJ. You know,
there's your warming up up to win money in the bank. We've been saved up for weeks. Absolutely.
So in a no whole barred street fight. I saw one of the coolest shirts last night, the Hall of Fame.
Because you know what access they sell shirts for the individual matches. There was a shirt for this
match that was the sign for Suplex City that had Ambrose's logo spray painted over it. I thought
that was pretty cool. No whole barred street fight. Brock Lesnar, Dean Ambrose, Andrew.
Brock Lesnar. Okay. LA. Just because I wanted to win. Man, this one is a variable.
Because I mean, and we've talked about the, as, as weird as this cart is, there's the most
wiggle room from a booking standpoint in this WrestleMania that I think we've seen in years.
Because you could, you could circle back to the WWE in the 90s and have a mankind laying the
forklift on top of the rock, taking the championship during halftime heat of the Super Bowl.
One of those moves with Brock and, Dean, because he's that low to tick. And on a side note,
this guy is living up to his gimmick to a team. Did you see him on Monday?
With the with the with the with the with the wagon. Yes. Oh, my god. And then say a word. Just kind of
mumble to himself. Grabbed. I'm sorry. Doc, you go ahead. I'm going to go with. No, I wasn't showing
your rhetoric there. No, I don't know who that is. I'm going to go with Brambrose or, or, or
Brocky. There's some, I don't know, man. Let's go. Okay. Doc. Yes. Lesnar is going to destroy
him. There's going to be some glass involved. And there's going to be blood and it'll be intentional.
And so there we go. Doc says Lesnar.
As weird as it is, I think I agree. Yeah. Well, Ambrose, it's, it's so weird. It's like,
Ambrose could job every match. And doesn't seem to lose his place. Right. He's that rare breed of
Superstar that kind of transcends what he's doing. And it's the oddest very ordnish. Yes. Very ordnistic.
But more so than. Yeah. Yes. Yeah. Because he connects with the fans more. Yes.
Cause see with Orton, it's he's better chasing the belt when better than having the belt. Right.
But with Ambrose, it's more he's just, there's no way he's better. Like, whether he has a belt or not,
he's still that same guy. It's relatable. You want him on the cart to the universe because they're like,
hey, if I take a loss, oh, well, I'm going to work the next day. It's going to be an enjoyable match,
either way. Yeah. With him on the, with him on the, with him. This is the best match of the night, I think.
Four on three handy cat match. Because the booty at night is big and bright. Deep in the heart of Texas.
New day. New day versus the league of nations. The light day rocks. Like, I do. Why do I even
hey, rocks? There's no reason to go. Hey, rocks. Doc. If they bring the unicorn, it's going to be
new day. No unicorn. No new day. Okay. Andrew. Oh, the new day. And rumor is you want to be by the
channel when they come out because the new day entrance I'm told they're saying that this is going to be
a huge them and Sasha Banks have huge entrances tonight. I think the new day wins this just because
it just seems like the League of Nations is just circling the drain. At a point though, I do hate that
they're going face, but in about 10, 15 years, this is the first face. I'm going to stand behind.
And you know what? And to paraphrase a quote from the Simpsons, you may hate those guys. But last night,
you've got to love those suits. Those suits were sharp. Yes. I don't know that I could have pulled that off.
I probably could have. And who knew Biggie had this much charisma? You know what, if you follow
him in coffee, if you follow them on Instagram, that's the whole way you do. But that doesn't always
translate from real life. But that's the only way you knew. That's the only way you knew.
Just coffee bring that out in Biggie. No, I think Biggie brings it out of coffe. I agree. I agree.
Those two feet off of each other, because I thought, you know, coffe as a heal, but he just has this
goofiness that works. The moment when he pulled the legs up, I don't even remember who it was.
When coffee pulled the legs out from the guy running the ropes, I said,
am I seeing what I think I'm seeing? Coffe turning heal. Finally. And take do yourself a
favor at some point. Go back to last night's Hall of Fame instructions and just watch their
induction speech of the free birds. Just don't even watch this. Just read it a few times. It is a brilliant
piece of work. It is especially one word unit. That's all I'm saying. That's one of my favorite
parts of the whole mind. The Andre the Giant Battle Royal, this is the third annual, the first one,
one by Cesaro last year, one by French. Now so far, Heath Slater Curtis Axel, Adam Rose,
Bo Dallas, Frenchy, Kane, Tyler Breeze, Gold Dust, our truth, Darren Young, Mark Henry,
Connor, Victor, Swagger, Fondongo, and the return of Damian Sandal.
Doc, Kane, no question. Kane's going to write. Kane's throwing them all. Andrew? Kane. All day.
Hey, LA. I'm going to give it to, uh, is Brahm strumming and he's not in this. No, right.
No, there's no, uh, any Wyatt family. Yeah, he's going to be for a big man.
Kane's on his case on his way out. I think this is the Kane Fair World Tour, give it a can.
We talked about this Wednesday night and I'm going off the page.
I think you have a surprise entrance. I think it's Cesaro and I think he's a two-time winner tonight.
I agree with you if that happens.
Matter of fact, anyone who surprises in this match is the winner.
Uh, word from the stadium chart was letting us know that the faces did win the, uh, divas match.
We miss, we miss the end of it. We're trying to monitor that, but I can't do that from the studio.
So there's that. Speaking of the divas, divas champion chip on the line.
Charlotte Sasha Banks Becky Lynch. Let me start this by saying, if you've missed it these last few days,
WWE has been doing a video diary series with Sasha Banks leading up to WrestleMania.
You owe it to yourself to watch the chapter where she approaches the stadium and sees her
picture on the side of the stadium for the first time. It is such a genuinely emotional moment.
Don't sleep on this match. These three can go.
Yeah, but can they all three go together? Somebody has to job.
Well, yeah, but who's who's going to win it? Doc. Yeah.
Oh, well, crazy redheads love me. I love them. So it's Becky Lynch all the way. Oh, by the way,
don't says strawman's in the match. I don't have him listed. Okay. That's what I thought. If he is,
are you picking him? Yeah, I'll be right back. Yeah, strawberries. Yeah. If strawberries isn't here slowly.
So, uh, Andrew. Sasha Banks. Because I've been seeing her name everywhere this week.
And that's the only reason one. It means real. I think it's Sasha's time. No, it's not as I would.
I would like to see Becky win it. But I think it's not Becky's not quite ready yet to carry that
strap. Yeah. Sasha's so over right now. I think she walks out. Now. I got to hold onto it.
Because I'm still. So who's going to be the the women's champion. Hold on. Hold on to that.
Because we're not there yet. Because I. Other things have to happen for us to get there.
Doc, uh, Don is saying. He said everything's so jumbled up. He says Sasha is well,
intercontinental championship on the line in a ladder match.
Kevin Owens versus Sami Zayn versus Dolph Ziegler versus Zach Rider versus the Miz versus Sincara versus Star Dust.
Andrew. Sami Zayn. Sami Zayn. Just say that because you look like him. Wow.
I want to say I want to say I want to say Kevin Owens finds a way to retain. But then I'm
thinking about Sami Zayn. I don't want to pick Rider because I've already talked about that
tree before. I'm going to go. I'm going to go with a title defense on this one.
A successful town defense. Hey, when you go up against Kevin Owens. Kevin Owens. Kevin.
Owens. That's what he says. Doc. I have no idea what we're talking about.
Intercontinental water match. Kevin Owens versus Sami Zayn versus Dolph Ziegler versus Zach
Rider versus the Miz versus Sincara versus old star dust. Well, well, if Sincara doesn't kill
everybody. No one buy some kind of ladder food mess up. It's not that. It's a different guy now.
I'm going up. I'm going with Owens. I think Owens is a, yeah, if Sincara doesn't kill
everybody, Owens. Don and I are in a grievance and call this bias and I don't care. Very much bias.
Right up the L.I. folks. I'm barking up that tree, sir. Zach Rider. If I don't care if he drops
the title tomorrow night with Shenanigans from Kevin Owens, give this guy the belt.
He can't, he can't wrestle, can he? Yes, he's a great wrestler. How? He's just seen it.
Because he jobs that everybody, he makes everybody look really good. But I'm thinking, man, is that
he's the internet champion, sir. He's been so quiet though. There's been no, come up for him.
Even better. But you know what? He did went on raw, so you got a valid point. And he's got his lady with him.
Because he's dating the Emma. Is the Emma coming out there? I'm sure she'll be there. She's a
hero though. She's going to walk under the light. Right, there's a baby. She helps them. You get any
power coming. Yeah. That means Ryder to a hero though. Yeah. Hell and a sell match for either control
of raw or retirement. Does retirement even mean anything in the WWE though? No, I don't know if
it's retirement or not because all Vince says was this will be his last WrestleMania. Right. It means
you on go to a legends contract. Undertaker, Shane McMahon. Don says he says taker. LA.
Honestly, guys, why are we even trying to rack our brains over this? This is Shane freaking
McMahon. The Undertaker, of course, is going to destroy this guy. Come on. Doc. It's going to be
the Undertaker because Shane's going to jump off the lighting rig. He's going to miss, but it's going to be
awesome. And takers just going to step on him and then the match is over. This is how this is going
to go. Andrew. It sounds like one of those McDonald's all American commercials off the rig through
the Android. Nothing but then. But you know what, I'm going to go with Shane on Mac just because
are you kidding me? Yes. Why not? I like the way this company with me. This will be a good way to
stay with way. The way he weighs a shenanigans. That's something to say with me. Here's how this
works out. Talk to me. Okay. I agree with Andrew. What's he jumping off of? Tell us why? Stay with me. Tell us
why? Because if Shane wins and gets control overall, he can make the Undertaker's retirement
no one void. So you all breaks even. Exactly. That's wrestling logic though. I don't want to think
like that. You know what, Terry? Although it's completely contrary to the theory. I'm about to give
you. That's your out. It opens up the Shane versus Stephanie thing. Like what the see that
match. We're tied. Who wants to see half of what's on wrong? A tie to see McMan's versus
McMan's. We already went through that era. I want to see him jump off the lighting rig.
Hit the Spanish announced table. There's chaos, cane steps. I'm sorry. I'm going to take
your steps on him. It's game over. Actually, I mean, great. You know, it's great. It's just right
right in the middle. No, it's really great. All the rig into the Spanish channel. Right into the middle
of the match. Fully just comes out, climbs up, jumps off the cage with the announced table and leaps.
This is the match of the match of the night. It's just for no reason whatsoever.
All right. And you know, you're a main event. WWE world heavyweight title on the line. We have to
what I'm hearing the rumor is this will be no DQ. It has not been officially announced, but I've
actually seen advertising that says this on it. Triple H Roman Reigns Andrew Triple H LA.
We all know that Roman is they're going to give it to a he's been barking up this tree if I can
use my same phrase again. This guy is going to get this title one way or the other. Doc. The plan
is for Roman Triple H is ego. We'll kick in two seconds before the match ends will be Triple H. Yes.
I love it. Yes. Attitude era. Don says Reigns. Here's my thing. If Shane loses Triple H retains.
Now stay with me. Tomorrow night Stephanie makes herself an active member of the women's roster.
She wins the women's title. And we were going back to remember when he held a title and she held
the women's title. And it was the power couple thing. I think that's what we go back to.
You're as crazy as a redhead. No, not going on my life. No, I know. So I just I just think
if there's still a face of the authority still the heels of that case. No, because I think that
they find a way that they now becomes you can so have Shane versus Stephanie.
But you remember when you're a face you can't keep going okay now the match starts up because
this isn't and like I wanted to. You can make keep making it happen. I show after show after show.
I just I with the way things have been going lately. It's hard for me to see
Reigns win this clean. I don't see it. You're going to have rock shenanigans. You're probably
going to have Shane shenanigans. This match I'm not going to say a booking mess, but it's going to
be chaos especially if the no DQ rule comes into play because then you're going to have everybody
and their brother involved in this. You know what I could see that because you remember there's
there's always that match. I think it's always a match that Vince make man is either in or he's
at ringside where you got one face coming out to help the face and then another heel coming out
stop depressed stop depressed. The just announced from the pre show the new women's title will be
awarded tonight during the triple threat. So we're not even waiting until tomorrow. We're doing it
tonight. Is there anything in it tonight? No, it's Charlotte's Sasha and Becky, but that's still
doesn't mean she can't go for the title tomorrow night. All right. She will lose the Sasha
Bank tomorrow night. I agree with you. I hope so. It's going to be absolute chaos, but in the end I see
rays. I got walking away with this thing. In my freaking hometown. All right. So leaving Triple H is
going to win. Don't worry. We're running a little bit short on time. So it's docked. Actually,
LA let's start with you. As the card stands right now, grade the card. Be modest as it stands now.
Okay. Now, are you greeting that as a WrestleMania or just in general?
I'm grading the card in general. If I'm going to grade it on a WrestleMania scale,
it then goes down to a C plus. Fair enough, Doc. I'm grading it a B because we do have hell in the
cell. We got some ladder food. We got some street fight. And I'm a sucker for that stuff.
It would have been a B plus, but the Dudley's are about to fight now. And if they were on the card,
the official card, it would have been a definite B plus. Andrew. Hey, I'm going to give it a B plus.
It's got all the matches just to that every just anybody of any open want to see. And there's
so much stick. There's a lot going on. And if they do it right, it could be an A minus.
But I agree with Andrew. I'm at a B plus for even from a WrestleMania standpoint. And just like I
said before, a lot of times when we go into paper views or we go into raw or even the majors,
we are like, okay, this is going to happen. There's no reason for this not to happen.
There's so real little of this on this card. There's so there's so many ways the booking can go
for the first time in a long time. I'm going to enjoy watching the paper view from a standpoint of
I really can't tell you with a hundred percent assurity any of these matches over. I think you
guys are grading this off of theories because the tag titles are not on a line, which I disagree with.
That they should you. This is WrestleMania. If you have a belt you defamble. The diva's match is now
revealing the WWE women's title. I'm okay with that. The icy title is a ladder match, but it's
with a bunch of jibrodies for the most part. Well, they're mid-carders, but they're solid mid-carders.
These, you're not, you're not throwing, you know, the Brooklyn brawler into this.
Right. Yes, the social outcaster mid-carders, but all four of these guys can go.
I mean, and they're under the giant battle rod. Right. Right. Right. Right. Right. Right. Right.
But you look at who's in that thing. I mean, Sammy Zane, I'm going to, I submit for your approval.
It's mixed for us. Dolph Ziegler, a guy that even though he can't get out of his own way,
he can go. Right. Zach Ryder, I think we've covered that. Yeah. The Miz is a guy who doesn't really
need a belt. He's always, every entertaining. Sincara, who this version of, I'm a much bigger fan,
and star dust, who is probably one of the most underrated people in the company. Absolutely. Yeah.
And I agree with all that, but again, when you get to the main cards, when you know the history
of the Roman race versus Triple H thing, you know Triple H is a suit, just waiting to drop the title,
you know, race is just, it's just his time set up for him. And then you got the Shane versus
Undertaker. Think about the reality of Shane versus the Undertaker. You know, that's what made me
graded from a just, you know, what I'm going to outside looking in. I've seen WrestleMania since
Roy Rubble. And I'm looking at this. Dr. We have an update. Yes, all right. Now, the
Dudley's are winning the match, and Dudley's going, what would do to you? Just like we did to
your father, Rookie, she and he's smack it up. It's pretty awesome. All right. That was on the card.
Agreed. So let's do the plug. So we can get there. Watch the end of this match. We can get ready for
WrestleMania. Cool. Go to the network, get in front of you. It's available on paperview. This is the
showcase of the Immortals for all the members of the Empire that are at AT&T Stadium right now
