| 0:00.0 | So Roman Raines kicked off this week's episode of Raw and he had quite clearly spent the last week spending lots of money on video production because he did have a very well produced video and he told us that CM Punk is a hypocrite is a hypocrite is a hypocrite. |
| 0:14.0 | He'd gone and found a bunch of clips of Mr.C.munk calling to Roman Raines and we went way back here. Some of it was from CM Punk in WW. My absolute favourite one is when we cut to the clip when CM Punk first came back to WWE and so I only here to make money, I don't care about friends when we got a cutaway of CM Punk talking to Cody Rose. You're right, what a hypocrite, he went and made a pal. Of course, this all ended with a talk about Pat McAfee as well. I was like, please can we not insert Pat McAfee into Roman Raines versus CM Punk. |
| 0:41.2 | But Roman's big point was, did you hear how he talked about you, CM? No punter has ever talked |
| 0:45.9 | that way about me, Roman Raines. I want to point this out, because I think it's got a little |
| 0:49.4 | bit misconstrued. I don't care if Pat McAfee and Jenny Roll are going to be in the corners of two people having a WrestleMania main event. I don't care Pat McAfee wants to go super into a mega heel. I just do not want my story to be about ticket sales. And the attitude era and business. I just don't care about that. I thought I need to make it clear because while we hoop and holler on this, it doesn't actually you make a big deal because what is wrestling, the most important, the least important things. |
| 1:10.9 | Just move on. make it clear because while we hoop and holler on this, it doesn't actually make a big deal. |
| 1:14.8 | Because when it's wrestling, the most important, the least important things, just move on. |
| 1:18.3 | We then told Punk to meet him in the ring later on to address all of this when we got... This message was approved by a bold eh-hole. |
| 1:20.0 | That's right. That was really, really weird. I mean, it did tie into what CM Punk had done last week |
| 1:23.8 | because he had said the same thing during his pipe bomb, but sometimes your brain doesn't register. What had happened seven days ago, it's a bit like Roman, why did you throw that in? You kind of undermined your whole point. However, it was all going to lead to our main event segment, and in terms of kicking off Raw, I actually thought it was quite good, and it was different. Roman Raines always going to be Roman Raines. Roman Raines knows how to be Roman Raines. Or something like that, up. Also, along my friends, and yes, welcome to the last raw ups and downs before WrestleMania 42. We made it just. It was a little bit rickly, rockety in the middle there. And if you are going to Las Vegas, hopefully you bought a ticket, otherwise WW will be very upset. Don't forget that we have |
| 2:00.9 | watch parties and post ups and downs from all of the shows. All the information will be somewhere on the screen or that description down there. Or you can head over to What Culture Wrestling. So if you do want something to do in a proper, I'll call it an auditorium, but we will find out, but you can have a seat, you can have some food, you can have a drink. But if you do want to Coming to live ups and now is after all, Spackdown at both nights of WrestleMania. |
| 2:19.2 | It's at the Luxor Hotel. I would love to see you. You can have a seat, you can have some food, you can have a drink. But if you do want to come to live ups and now, it's after all smackdown at both nights of |
| 2:18.3 | WrestleMania, it's at the looks or hotel. |
| 2:20.5 | I would love to see you. |
| 2:21.7 | I shake your hand, and then we'll do some terrible jokes. You can sit there and go, this was an awful idea. I get it. Let's up those downs. But they went right into what is absolutely the best built thing for this WrestleMania 42 |
| 2:34.1 | because here was Triple H, here was Adam Pearce. |
| 2:36.4 | And they were like, look, we're going to invite Brock Lesnar and Paul Heyman to the ring so they can sign this deal, and then Oberfemi, we will get to you later, because you two are powder kegs and we don't need any TNT. Now Brock did exactly this, as Paul Heyman said, ha ha, he's basically just signed his Nigerian death warrant. |
| 2:51.5 | And I was like, listen, man, if that's a Nigerian death warrant, Obafemi is definitely not going to sign it because he's not a moron. When Brock described the microphone and went, man, after this weekend, you won't even remember his name because people were chanting Oberfemi's name. I was like, listen, Brock, I know you're trying to be intimidating and you are liked in the most intimidating person on the WW roster. |
| 3:10.3 | That doesn't make any sense, unless you're going to use one of those men in black flashy things, but I won't remember his name. Hey, and they knew what he was doing too because he said, Brod Lesnar beating overfemy at WrestleMania is not a prediction. It is a spoiler. And nine times out of ten when Paul E does say that stuff, it comes true. But if I was going to hazard, I guess that was the point there, because Obfemi is going to win, please let him win, please let him win, please let him win. But now we could all have a meltdown because that's just what we do. We will come back to that later though, because of course we do have a part two towards this when we cut to Logan Paul, Austin Theory and I Show Speed. |
| 3:43.6 | And you're not going to believe it. |
| 3:44.7 | I Show Speed is very terrified about his WrestleMania match with Logan Paul, Austin Theory like no man. |
| 3:49.9 | We can make it better when we had a montage. |
