So we had a very serious start for this week's episode of Raw, because Adam Pierce was in the ring. He was like Sethus Rollins. I know what you're doing. I know you're upset with the vision. I don't understand why you have to go to all these games with the masked men, but you're in trouble with the vision and you're not clear for professional wrestling, so we better have a chat. Also with my friends, and welcome to Ups and nouns. The only wrestling review show you need with eyes, Simon Miller. Listen, we're only like four, five, maybe six weeks away from WrestleMania. So this should be the good stuff, which means there's a lot of pressure put on Raw's back. Was it any good, or did it? Suck eggs. We're going to find out. With this, the finger of power, when we get the good bits and up and the bad bits are down. I appreciate you for joining me.

We have our 10-year anniversary very soon. That's absolutely ridiculous. Dig my grave now. Let's up those doubts. Now clearly, Seth Rollins and the Mask Men, we're listening to Had a Piss. This was quite funny. I don't think it was meant to be funny. but it's like a W-W-W-W-W-W-W-dream, given the last few years. A bunch of individuals wearing masks came out and they started doing like football drills. I have no idea what was going on. When they decided to know what we should clear off, we're only here to be dramatic. There was only one remaining and ta-da! You're not going to believe it. It was

repo man. It could be repo man, demolition. I'm going into the Hall of Fame. It was Sethas wallets. I mean that Adam Pearce was a bit like, I don't know why you did that. We're meant to be buddies. When he tried to get through to the guy, because once again, you are not cleared to wrestle. So if the vision do eventually get their hands on you, you're going to be on the shelf forever.

And then what?

No masked men are going to to wrestle. So if the vision do eventually get their hands on you, you're

going to be on the shelf forever. And then what? No masked men are going to help you because essentially you'll be dead. And I think Austin Theory and Logan Paul heard that because they came out and essentially said, that's right, Seth, we want to kill you. Now this is why the masked men were there because essentially they then helped Seth Rondens escape because it would have been a two-on-one game.

Well, we also learned that Paul Heyman's going to be out indefinitely.

Somebody wait for a WrestleMania moment, when all of a sudden LA night's music hit, he walked the ring. He doesn't have any masked men, so the vision beat him up before the Uso's remembered, we don't like these guys, and eventually we do have to drop our raw tag team titles to them.

So they came out.

It was a three on two assault and finally the baby faces stood tall. It's a bit like Seth. Why don't you just talk to LA Knight and the Usos? I mean, you were horrible to them throughout 2025, but I think that would have been a better plan. So essentially we are playing a waiting game at the moment. I would imagine see if Bronbreaker is going to be able to come back. But you can kind of see the vision here. I shouldn't have said that. And I'm absolutely convinced either at or around WrestleMania, you are going to have Logan Paul and Austin Derry taking on the Uso's. My only issue being is this was very funny. And I laughed out a lot, especially with the masked men were doing their dance and I don't think it's meant to be humorous. Now listen, I think we have all the power in the world here with Seth Rollins and we get this right, he could become a super duper, whooper, mega baby face and it feels like is the right time. So I'm stuck right in the middle. Dare I say I'm torn like Natalie and Brulia. But there are very two specific things that I took away from this. So I am going to give it an up, because like I say, the vision should be having their asses kicked by all these people, and just having Seth Rolins back on TV is working for me. But this obsession that WWE has with masked people, I understand what they're doing. They're trying to tell you, oh my gosh, there was 42,700 masked individuals which allowed Seth Rhinens to conduct his plan, but I think maybe once the real happened, we should have just left it there. I'm just going to give it a mini down. I mean, you couldn't say, but Simon, you were laughing, you were having a good time, and you're totally right. Once again, I don't think that was the point. Takey Reh then caught up with the Uso's who looked like they were leaving, but instead Jay was super-duper furious and Jimmy, well, he was kind of mad, but actually they weren't particularly happy with what C.M. Punk said last week, which makes sense he insulted the family. Maybe they're going to talk to him later. Well, we've got to win hisreland match to determine the number one contender for AJ Lee's Intercontinental title. We started off with Eoske and Lira Akeria. That smells like, you know what, I'm going to sit back and enjoy this. They did. I thought it was good. He did kind of mind the line where Lira is at the moment, because basically, after a hard four back to around about eight minutes. She did get footstop, moon, salt and Eoske one for the one, two, three. And given the ending, I wonder if Lira O'Kiria is going to turn heel, or maybe Bailey's going to turn heel on her, although you want to be careful there because that's what I think we should do with Alexa Biss and Charlotte Flair, although WW does love copy and pasting stuff overall on Smackdown, but at the same time as I argue with myself, if it does make sense, why can't you do that? But just the fact it was Lara versus E.O., which maybe we've seen before, but it still felt fresh to me. I had a good time, and Eoskeye went through to the next round. Do we call it rounds? I think so. That was versus Raquel Riegel got Regis as well. And of course, over the last few weeks and months, we have turned Raquel into a monster. So she was crushing Leo Sky here, who was bumping her ass off when we basically tied into what is going to happen at WrestleMania because out came live walking to help her friend. So out came to definitely stop her friend from helping. Leo Sky was like, well, that's great. I'm going to use it, and she used the most devastating move. In all the sports entertainment surprise roll-up, and she got the one, two, three. But I think she forgot that Raquel is a monster now and is being pushed, because, oh my gosh, Rodriguez, absolutely ruined her. She threw her into the Ringpost, and she left her lay with a bomb of power when out came ivy nile and i really

enjoyed this because there has to be consequences to your actions she just went ha ha ha ha like she was

bison she just pinned her she didn't hit a move she got the one two three so eoskeye just got

screwed by the judgment day and i wonder how that is going to time but i tell the nice caveat here

you could say to yourself oh that wouldn't have happened if Rea Ripley hadn't gone to Smackdown, so I'm actually going to give that an up. I don't think WW overplayed it, and maybe I made it up in my head, but the fact I could fantasy book that is good. Remember our next row is Ivy and I versus Bailey, and Bailey checked on the sky when she was walking to the ring,

so she got murked for a little while. I was like, come on, Bell, you don't bear the match.

But otherwise, I thought this was good too. We allowed Ivy and Al to use her power game, although we did get a German suplex battle here, when Nile hoisted Bailey up for a German suplex, not a German suplex, a standing suplex,

and the sages of old will tell you

maybe Bailey is still upside down today.

Eventually there were Tusk on the outside, though. not a German suplex, a standing suplex, and the sages of old will tell you maybe Bailey

is still upside down today. Eventually, there weren't tusks on the outside, though, so I'm going to jump off the still steps, I'm going to give you an elbow into the ring apron when she hit the Bailey to belly, and she got the three. I'm like, well, I wasn't expecting that. When was the last time a Bailey to belly won a match. I mean, it's probably recently and I've forgotten, but actually

we then used it into the next round, which I also thought was pretty good. Because yes, it was Bailey versus Oscar, and at one point Bailey hit the Bailey to Belly for a one-two-oo. But the best part is when Oscar and Kyrie say were coming to the ring, Bailey was able to get a dive on Asker. Do you want to know why? Because Kyrie at the worst time,

they started to pose at the crowd, or the camera, I should say. You just know that Asker's going to see that next week. He'd be like, I don't think you should have done that, my friend. Now I'm even more mad at you. Now it's okay for Karie because she can argue the fact she did continue to distract Bailey throughout all this.
