Welcome one and all to the day, another week here at the Damage World with me, John DeRola, and joining me for the best damn day of the week, J.R. Jackson.

J.R. How's it going?

Oh, yeah. Hey, what's up, everybody? Hi.

Hey, maybe at some point it'll become the best damn day of the week because, you know what, things keep trying to keep me from having that streak going i mean you know

mondays or mondays i tried to change the script but for everyone that was trying to watch uh uh the watch

party just before this here damage report i apologize i tried i've tried for an hour and a half

i know i love you guys um i almost bailed on john over this i'm telling telling you, bro. And I would have understood if you did. But I'm glad to have you here for a couple of reasons. News is the first one. We'll get to that. Second, in the first break, I want to adjudicate this thing where I'm the weirdo because I wanted to have jury duty, which clearly I don't have. But we're going to talk about that in the break. And we're just briefly, maybe to get JR started off in a good mood. Before we jump into the news, just really fast, JR, initial reactions to Live Morgan and Roman Raines winning the Royal Rumble this year. Brief reactions. I think everyone knows. Live is like one of my favorites, so I'm totally on board. I even like that she turned on Raquel, who I also like. That's cool. I love it. It's fun times. I like the insanity of Liv Morgan. And Roman Reims is back. Badey for another four-year streak of a win after he wins this championship? Is that what we're in for, John?

I'd at Roll.

I doubt it.

Imagine they go longer this time. I doubt it. Anyway, I also, like, I really like Liv Morgan. I love her, the actual, like, the person's story of, like, almost getting cut, and then coming back and how she wins her over him. That's really cool. And I like that she turned on Raquel. I hope they fight at

WrestleMania.

I had this last minute theory

that Sammy Zane

was going to come back in

and win in here And I like that she turned on Raquel. I hope they fight at WrestleMania.

I had this last minute theory that Sammy Zane was going to come back in and

when he wasn't even in the damn thing.

So I felt like an idiot.

But I'm cool with it.

One thing I did have a complaint with, by the way, the AJ and what's his name, Gunther match.
