| 0:00.0 | So Michael Cole made you laugh out loud at the start of this week's episode of Raw, |
| 0:03.0 | because as Gunther was walking to the ring, and we were recalling how he had been a naughty boy last week when he pretended to tap up, also did tell him out for real, but he knew the referee couldn't see him when he was taken on AJ Stiles. Michael Cole just went well, wasn't he smarter? He's so intellectual. I can't believe he did that. As that, Michael, you're like, Face, good guy announcer, you should be yelling at the heel. |
| 0:22.4 | Nor that matters, my friends, Michael, you're like, face, good guy announcer. |
| 0:21.3 | You should be yelling at the heel. |
| 0:22.4 | Not that matters, my friends, I'm welcome to Ups and now. |
| 0:24.6 | See, I already rested with you show you needed. Yes, I did watch Monday Night Raw. For some reason, I am going to give you my opinion on it, which I agree is totally nuts, but the good news is, If you weren't able to watch the show, I will also go through it step by step. |
| 0:37.0 | And it's something good, it gets it up. |
| 0:38.3 | It's something bad. |
| 0:38.8 | It does get it down. |
| 0:39.8 | Please do like the video, I will also go through it step by step, and if something's good, it gets it up. |
| 0:38.3 | It's something bad, it does get it down. Please do like the video, share the video and subscribe, and why not tell a friend today? Otherwise, let's up those flubbing out. The friends are also challenging you tapped out of Gunther, which he absolutely did do when Gunthals let everybody calm down. we should all look at AJ Stiles and laugh at him |
| 0:55.7 | because his problem was he was so obsessed with trying to make me tap out that he went out there and he totally failed because I won. And when you look at the record books, that is all that matters. Stars really should have remembered as well that he was taken on the guy that made John Sina tap out and you know what? I believe in 2006 I should be the world champion again. So I am declaring for the Royal Rumble. Now this was a very funny episode of Rour as well because everybody declared for the raw Rumble if I were going to hazard a guess. I think some of the creative team went, wait a minute, the Rural Rumble is in two weeks and we haven't asked anyone. So here's the deal. You're all going to walk out and everybody's going to say them in the Royal Rumble. And AJ Stiles walked out and said he is going to be at the |
| 1:31.1 | Royal Rumble, but he wants to take on Gunther because he ain't done. Gunther then once again reminded you know, listen, bro, I'm going to be in the Rumble. I'm not pulling double duty because you know, at the moment nobody's in the Royal Rumble. |
| 1:40.8 | So, of course, AJ Stiles went, |
| 1:42.4 | ha ha, ha, you're an absolute bitch. |
| 1:44.8 | And just as Guntz was about to leave, |
| 1:46.2 | he had a light bulb moment. |
| 1:47.3 | He went, ha ha ha, you're an absolute bitch. And just as |
| 1:45.3 | Guntz was about to leave, he had a light bulb moment. He went, ta-da, there is one thing you can do for me. And as Stiles was like, I will do anything. So Gunther was like, well, you could put your career on the line. Dan, dun dun, dan. Fans also called him a wanker, although I do not think he was doing that. And essentially the story was, later on, AJ Stiles had a quick chat with Adam |
| 2:03.6 | Pierce. He said he had to talk to his wife when he returned and he was like, you know what, I am going to do this, so I had a proper meltdown because I totally thought we were going to have A.J. Stiles for the majority of 2026. And while I understand people going, I'm sure stars will win at the Rumble before we do a third match at WrestleMania, it's kind of a little bit lame, unless AJ Stiles is not going to retire with his career on the line, because let's say that AJ Stiles did win at the Rumble, and then Guntu was like, listen, man, it didn't go my well. Can you like put your career on the line again for a second time? That just sort of relegates it |
| 2:35.4 | a bit. It takes away the stakes, which also goes to the fact that some people like, oh, he's clearly going to retire at the Royal Rumble and do a short TNA run. Now, listen, I would love to see one last AJ Stiles match in TNA. But if you're like, I can't believe it, I've retired. And then you turn up in TNA but once again |
| 2:50.5 | I mean AJ Stars can do whatever the flub he wants because he is a |
