| 0:00.0 | So UFC is now WWE and WWE is now UFC, that's not true at all, but it's the chatter online, so let's just go with it, truth be damned. |
| 0:09.8 | The thing is now that we do have this super-mixed martial art sports entertainment company, there are gonna be some changes on the way. |
| 0:17.4 | And here's ten of them. Oh, please do subscribe. My name is Simon. I totally screwed it up. Number ten, a roster shift. |
| 0:26.4 | This is never fun. The powers that be have already hindered the background staff will be let go during the merger. |
| 0:32.5 | Sadly, this will likely stretch to those that we see in front of the camera too. |

| 1:31.4 | And or should they, by the way, they've given themselves to wrestling and this is a pseudo retirement fund |
| 1:36.6 | and a deserved pound the back. |
| 1:38.3 | We did see similar things go down when endeavour bought UFC though, |
