| 0:00.0 | On today's wrestling news, I've got all the backstage reactions to CM Punk possibly |
| 0:03.9 | go into WWE. A massive crown jewel matches. Not happening. The undertaker gets called |
| 0:10.0 | up to NXT. And an NXT star has now been quietly |
| 0:14.6 | promoted to the main roster. Are you ready? Are you ready for the news time? My name is |
| 0:19.5 | Phil James and I'm joined by Gareth Morgan to talk all things wrestling news. But first |
