So Raw this week started with Michael Cole telling us that Naomi is injured so her world title match with EO Sky is off. And then we didn't get any more details. This is the issue when all of a sudden you are saying some injuries are real and some injuries aren't real. We don't actually know what's going on. But we always err on the side of caution here on ups and downs. So I just hope she's okay. Like you never want to get injured,

but right now would be terrible timing. Naomi is one of the best characters in the company. Also, my friends, I'm welcome to Roar Ups and Now. This is your Wrestling Review Show, and the only wrestling review show you need, because I watch the pro wrestling, because you don't have to. And I'm just going to warn you now, you may get Meltdown Miller today. Now, of I am hamming it up for this episode, but at the same time, I don't really understand what WWE is doing.

Thankfully, I have a finger of power.

Let's up those downs.

CM Punk was the first guy on Roar as well, and the Quebec crowd went nuts for him, which is actually quite hard to say.

And he's both happy but also angry.

He's over the moon because everyone's being so nice to him. Also, he's meant to be the world champion right now when he's not. And why? Sethus Rollins. He went as far to say that he has a Seth Rollins problem and that Seth is just acting like CM Punk and he's failing at it. And I was like, okay, let's just look at this from a story point of view.

Right now, Seth tricked everybody, and he's failing at it. And I was like, okay, let's just look at this from a story point of view. Right now Seth tricked everybody and he's the world champion. Sounds like he's actually doing pretty good. See, and punk had finally climbed that mountain after 12 years of not being a champion and now he just feels like he's let the fans down. But actually at the same time, he's so angry about this. It's let a fire under his ass. So let's go get that title back. Thankfully, Punk also mentioned in the past that he too had used money in the bank cash-ins, so he understands the game, but the issue is once again he hates the player, boy, how old he does he hates it? He went as far to say that next time Rollins won't have to fake an injury, because he'll just go and break his legs when LA Knight came to the ring. I was like, okay, I guess your name must be legs now, which is very interesting. And man, I was so sad here because I am a nerd. These two shook hands. I was like, no, don't be friends just because you're both baby faces. He screwed you over last week, LA Knight. Maybe you would have been the world champion, even though your head was about to go into the floor. I need less of this in my wrestling. If somebody has begrudged you, you must hold a grudge. Well, something like that. I think he did talk about this and said, man, you did steal all that way from me last week, even though I get it, you should be the champion, but you got screwed too when

Punk was like, yes, but Seth Rollins was going to squish your head into the concrete. But if I was LA Knight, I'd be like, you don't have any faith in me, you don't think I was going to move. Watch this. See, I can do it. But it really was a down for me because it just felt like a missed opportunity, like I do say, when LA Knight tried to make a deal, I suppose, he was like,

listen, I'll take on Seth Rollins, I will win, and then you can take on me, and that's good because a few weeks ago, you told me I wasn't on your level so you can get in this ring and prove it. I was like, oh yeah, he did say that to you, LA Knight. Why the hell are you being kind to him at all? They then started to kiss, which of course is not true. That didn't happen. And here it kind of felt like they were just saying things, waiting for the interruption, which was Paul Heyman with Bronson Reed and Brombreaker. And he also like, ha ha, you two are such idiots. We all hate you. We don't like you. Boo, boo, you're not going to go anywhere. But eventually, CM Punk and LA Knightite, shut it up. Because long story short, basically, we are having a tag team match later. So this was exactly what we did on Smackdown, because it was CM Punk that went, we will accept your challenge. And Eleonite was like, listen, you don't talk for me, but yes, fine, we'll do the tag team match. Love this was really strange. So really, I just think we could have had much more fun with this, given their past interactions. I'm just going to repeat myself here. I do not need good guys being friendly with other good guys just because they're meant to be good guys. I think of all the interactions that CM Punk had with the Cody Rhodes or as Seth Rheins before, he did turn heel. It made it super interesting because they have their own motives and they had their own goals and you, my friend, are just getting in the way. I also would like to know how LA Knight has just magically become a raw guy. I swear, if we have a draft in a few weeks and WW tries to make a big deal out of this, well, I'm not going to do anything about it because what could I possibly do? But given that this was mostly okay, I'll also give it an up, even though I think I'm being too kind there. Like it wasn't bad and CM Punk and LA and like always good on the microphones and the crowd loved them so much. There was something to it, although actually no, I take it back. I found the reason for the up. When Brock Breaker was being pulled away, he started shouting,

you're 47 and you're 40, you're basically 100 years old. I am so pleased that WWE has allowed

Bron to go back to how he was in NXT. He was kind of a faceless warrior for a while. This version

way better. Dominic Mysterio then found the Judgment Day, and yes, he was with El Grande

Americano, or at least one of them. It's probably like 72 at this point, and Raquel Rodriguez was like, he shouldn't be in our clubhouse man, we don't like him. Now, Finn Balder did agree with this when Don went yeah, but you know, we're going to go down to AAA and we're going to win some titles and Finn was like, well that sounds great. Now you would never know that Finn and J.D. McDonor are the tag team champions,

because WWE has just decided to never mention it again when we did start to build to this

Triplemania match, because it was Dominic Listerio and El Grande, taking on AJ Stiles and Dragon Lee.

So I presume that AJ woke up one day and said, you know what's on my bucking list? I want a team with a mythical creature, and now he's done it. Good for him. We may as well just talk about the finish as well, because this is going to be the theme of this week's ups and downs, because bam, the dickboard, because you bet your ass there was distraction interference and confusion here and it also made me laugh so much right

i never really thought about this until i saw it but you saw el grande get the metal plate out of his

pants that he usually sticks in his mask and it was so small now of course it would only go on the head

area so it can't be that big but when i saw it it in person, I was like, well, that's not intimidating

at all. It'd be like, head buying somebody with some foil. Now he didn't work because AJ Smiles was too smart for this, so he booted El Grande in the head. When Don was like, all right, well, I wear a master of the ring. He put it back on. He stuck the smallest weapon in the world in there, he smashed AJ Stiles as El Grosite hit the most devastating move.

In all the sports, entertainment surprise roll-up, this weapon in the world in there, he smashed AJ Stars as El Gras hit the most devastating
