And that's it. John Siener has had his last ever match on Monday Night Raw, like I'm sure he'll make future appearances. When he just pops in and goes, hi, it's me, John Sina. But it's totally mad. If you're like me, you probably do a bit of internal reflection and realize, oh my gosh, time is going so fast. So maybe today. And for most of this week, we should just try and be as happy as we can do. and remember all we have is this moment,

0:23.1

and tomorrow is not guaranteed for anyone. We wouldn't know it from that intro but this is indeed a wrestling review show. As ever though, what the hell do I know? I couldn't even keep my hair but hello my friends in his eyes, Simon Miller and yes, given that Monday Night Raw just came us live from Madison Square Garden.

0:56.7

And we did say yet another goodbye to John Cena. I am going to take my finger a pal, which is not a euphemism, and the good bit gets it up. And the bad bit gets her down. But we always remember that wrestling is the most important, of the least important things. So sit down. Grab yourself a beverage. Let's go. Sina was the first guy out as well, and this was totally hilarious, because this MSG crowd went totally crazy.

1:46.1

They were so excited to see this man. They looked like John Siener was going to be his always awesome baby face Sve being like I'm so happy to be here. I can't believe it without the New York fans who the hell knows where I would have been. And just when he was about to give me some sage advice, Dominic Mysterio interrupted. And they're like, oh, Dom, you're such a scamp. Now he made a great point too when he was all like you would just give her this icy title shot. And that essentially ties into your entire career where people just bent over backwards for you, unlike me who had to fight for everything. And yes, for the people on the internet that went fop, they went right over their heads. That's the whole point. He knows he's the son of Ray Mysterio. That's where he was getting the heat. It's also why the condom is absolutely brilliant and why one day he should be the WW champion. Look at my face. I'm not joking. Cina was ready for Domi boy, but he was like, no, no, no. That's what we did last week, so now we're going to do it on my terms.

1:58.8

So let's have the rematch at the Survivor Series, because it's my hometown of San Diego. And of course, Sina said, yes. I was like, John, you're the champ. Just go, no, we do it now. I'll kick you back to Timbuktu, but we didn't do that.

2:00.8

But of course, John Sina had made a promise that he was going to have a match on Raw.

2:02.6

So we said, Donny Mysterio, I chose you. to Timbuktu, but we didn't do that. But of course, John Sina had made a promise that he was going to have a match on Raw.

2:02.6

So we said, Don Mysterio, I chose you. Which is when the Judgment Day came out. And we basically forgot about a story because we had to book a six-man tag. Because Finn Bala and J.D. McDonnor are all like, we don't like you, Sina, we're going to beat you up. Long story short out came Seamus and Ray Mysterio because they just wanted to be the best of friends with John Sina. And yes, we got a six-man tag. Before we do move on, I think that Dominic Mysterio may win back that intercons. At the time of John Sina at the Survivor Series, and I will do the dancer joy. When we went into this match, and I tell you, it was super simple. But the reason we have obvious plays is because they usually win football games. You should just go and check this out. It was just, oh, we've all got moves. So let's do the moves together. Also, these are the bad guys. So let the chumps him in the face. And the hills were like, we're going to cheat to get back in control where each and every single one of them did hit their finishers onto John Sina, because that's what John's doing at the moment,

2:53.5

when Seamus and Ray Mysterio broke it up at the one to-oo. So now, if the judgment they do want to come out and say, we're going to be in John Sina, they totally can. We really do have to discuss Ray Mysterio as well, who just moves, like he hasn't had any injuries in his life, even though he's been suffering from things back in his WCW days.

3:08.9

He is one of the goats, and also we made it, my friends, we made it because at one point, John Sina Ray and Seamus all did five knuckles shuffles and given this was John Cena's last match on Raw.

3:19.3

We have made it 20 plus years and we are still making masturbation references and nobody talks about it.

3:26.2

We just go five knuckle shuckle and apparently that's totally fine.

3:30.2

Now I screwed it up, shuffle. Nobody knows what a shuckle is.

3:33.1

We then carried on the same old deal because Ray hit his finish, Seamus hit his finish when

3:36.7

yes, J.D. McDonough got hit with the AA as John Cena got the one, two, three. And that was

3:41.7

it. No big angle, no nonsense. It was just made to make you feel warm and fuzz in your tum-tum. Then John Cena tried to make you cry. As it right down the camera lens, it was like, that's it, man, I love you so much. I'm like, damn it, John, can you stop it? But of course it gets and up. Why do we watch wrestling to feel good about life? And I just thought this was

3:59.4

absolutely brilliant and it was But of course it gets it up. Why do we watch wrestling to feel good about life? And I just thought this was absolutely brilliant. And it was designed to make you feel good in your tutsy toes. It went on for what, 30, 35, maybe 40 minutes. But it is worth every single damn second. Nick how does it and Anna Pierce then chatting backstage? Because how dare Paul Heyman choose Drew McIntyre who was suspended? Once again, my hand went up. I was like, you two dofers this are in charge. If that's the rule, change the rule. Why are you so mad? Which is when Paul Heyman walked in, he was like, I'm so happy Drew is on my team. But just you wait, I'm going to reveal my fifth member later and you're not going to believe it.

4:48.7

And if you do frequent the internet as we all do, well, you probably knew who this was. The New York Giants then got into a fight with the Judgment Day. I mean, that's the thing that happened. So I'm just telling you, although I do believe it was done just for PR, they seem to have a good time, when we got our second big angle of the night. Because yeah, last week, Nikki Bella turned here.

4:47.6

This was kind of weird because we were told here comes Stephanie Vakerni. a good time when we got our second big angle of the night. Because yeah, last week,

5:04.2

Nikki Bella turned heel. This was kind of weird because we were told here comes Stephanie Vacare to do an interview. When Nikki Bella attacked her from behind, I was very mad at Nikki because she was back in a red top. And last week she made it very clear. She was going to start wearing a black top. When she was basically like, I didn't come back to be your sidekick definitely the care. It's like, well, that was on you, Nikki Bella. You started hanging around with her. Nobody made you. However, because I am someone that opened all these doors and gave you the opportunities that you get today, I'm challenging you for that their title. She then basically grabbed the belt and held it above her head and I just thought this was too quick. Nikki Bella has proven in the past, if you do give her some heel promos, she will say some outrageous lines, such as I hope you died in the womb, or I wish you would have died in the womb. Yes, she said that to Bree Bella about what, 10 years or so ago now. And it wasn't bad, there was nothing wrong with it. And I actually think Nikki Bella plays a hill way better than she plays a baby face. It's just something about her.

5:41.1

But it just came and went so quick. And I was like, oh, we've already gone through it. I mean, maybe the opening segment went too long. I don't know. I don't work backstage. But it certainly wasn't bad, but I just thought you could have done something bigger here.

5:52.2

I think Stephanie's going to have to say something at some point
