| 0:03.9 | 2026. I'm Andy H-Marie, the H stands for hazy. This is the after news. H-H-H-Borne. This is the after news. H-y, hazy, hazy is what the current construction situation. Have you seen this? Yeah, I've been keeping track on this on social media and looking at the calendar as well going. |
| 0:38.7 | This is weird, man. This is a weird situation going on. So first of all, like, there's a couple of... The build of this Royal Rumble has been really strange, right? And I feel like we should come and just chat about it a little bit because we have the forum to do so. What's going on with the... First, let's talk promotion, first of all, because we're two...

| 1:10.9 | Yeah. |
| 1:11.9 | They used to have qualifiers. |

| 1:14.9 | The, they've just announced basically nobody. |
