0:00.0 | Welcome, welcome, welcome to After The Bell. I am still Corey Graves and KP. I left my |
0:24.6 | heart in Puerto Rico, backlash is in the books. The draft is complete night of champions is on the horizon. The NXT Champion Carmelo Hayes is joining the show today. |
0:36.2 | KP, how you feeling? |
0:37.8 | I'm great. We've been awful lot to be excited about today, pal. We really, really do. And listen, if you're on your phone now, I never know if you're looking at bad |
0:45.1 | Boney's entrance again, or whether you're tweeting for Trish Stratis. What's it going to be? |
0:49.4 | I'm a busy guy, KP. Ordinarily in WWE, we have these tent pole events. These times of year where things sort of ramp up and start going full speed ahead. |
0:57.6 | I feel like since we jumped on the road to WrestleMania at Royal Rumble, it's been a hundred miles an hour full speed ahead nonstop. |
1:05.8 | It included this weekend and backlash and again. Right off the top of the show, I'm saying, yeah, this amazing thing just happened this past weekend. |
1:12.6 | And we're already looking ahead. I'm at the point now where professionally speaking, I feel like I'm in the air, in an aircraft high above 37,000 feet. |
1:22.3 | And I'm looking and I know in my head we're going 500 something miles an hour. But the world just kind of casually creeping by below. |
1:29.8 | That's how life inside WWE feels right now. And I love it. |

1:44.6 | We're dropping this on Friday. If you're watching a week later. Backlash in Puerto Rico was one of the most. |
1:52.2 | Exciting events I've ever been a part of as part of WWE. There were numerous moments where I looked at Michael Cole beside me and we just had that ear to ear grin. |
2:03.5 | Like wow, we're living this. You mentioned Bad Bunny's entrance. I will say this. Bad Bunny's entrance was one of the most incredible things that I have ever experienced in my life. |
2:15.9 | Being in the arena and hearing a sold out of his at 18,000 plus scream every word to his entrance music. |

2:37.0 | But for those of us who were lucky enough to be inside the building, we always use hyperbole and say it's rocking. |
2:42.6 | Oh man, it sounds like the roof's going to blow off this place. In that moment had the roof literally detached from Colisejo in Puerto Rico. |
2:51.6 | No one would have been surprised. It was unreal. And it wasn't just Bad Bunny. It wasn't just a one match show and Bad Bunny. |
2:58.0 | This is a discussion I'm sure we'll have down the line somewhere made a strong case for himself being perhaps the best celebrity competitor we've ever had in WWE. |
