| 0:00.0 | So I finally figured it out. What I think happens at the start of Raw is whoever's going to do the |
| 0:04.0 | opening Raw promo walks out with the rest of the locker room all like converged backstage and then |
| 0:09.6 | they picked straws to decide who is going to interrupt because Roman Raines was back to discuss |
| 0:14.1 | everything that happened seven days ago and congratulations to Paul Heyman and Bronson Reed. They |
| 0:19.6 | got the straw. They had a lovely drink and away they went. Also, my friends, well, they're ups and downs. The only wrestling review show you need. It's a nice and simple concept. Sometimes I point up because I like something and sometimes I point down because I don't like something. And I've decided to remind you, I am a professional wrestler in my real life and in fact tomorrow I am wrestling at the Hammersmith Apollo, which is ridiculous for Class of the Comics. And you can order that on pay-per-view at Clash of the Comics. Live, so you should watch that because it is a bunch of stand-up convenience and wrestling. But the point is this. I actually didn't throw it out to be a promotion machine. It means my opinion counts more than other content crates. That's right. It's time to start firing shots because all these negative grifters keep saying dumb stuff. So I'm going to say dumb stuff too. Don't know what I'm talking about. Let's help those doubts. Quick shout out to our US viewers as well because if you do click the link in the description, you can get Hulu Plus and Live TV for only 6499 for the next three months. And of course, that includes the brand new ESPN app, which means you can watch the WWE pay-per-view tool. Now, Seth Rollins and Bronner were not with their friends this week, so maybe they stayed in the back playing Nintendo. And because Roman reigns, Bronzer-Ree, just look at each other for such a long time, which is what wrestlers want to do. |
| 1:28.3 | Eventually, Roman was like, oh, we're just going to look at each other, and Paul Heyman insinuated, |
| 1:33.5 | they may actually do that. Now, listen, I'm always happy for wrestling take a risk, but if we |
| 1:37.7 | ever get an episode of Raw, and it's two and a half hours of staring, I'm not going to watch |
| 1:42.1 | past probably 32 minutes. |
| 1:44.3 | Given the Roman rains and asked the crowd for some acknowledgement, Paul Heyman then said |
| 1:47.9 | that Roman should acknowledge the fear in his heart, because of course, Bronson Reed is the |
| 1:52.3 | only guy to ever put him in the hospital. I was like, he did kind of beat him in Paris. |
| 1:57.9 | And also, I think you'd be more mad if somebody put you in a local medical facility. Also, I looked into Roman's eyes because, again, staring, wrestling. He looked totally fine. I think the Bronson spent his entire week watching tape as well because he was like Arthur and Seeker. Ha ha ha. Your father and uncle never had to be stretching out to a hospital, which is a very strange thing to say. And Roma was like, |
| 2:18.6 | yeah, but I tell you what they would tell me to do. Kick your ass. Why don't you get in the ring right now? And that's what we're going to do, fight. Of course, Paul Heyman didn't let that happen, boo, when he said he's got a better idea. And how about at Crown Jewel, you take on Bronson read again. In a match, the Bronson has never lost. |
| 2:35.8 | An Australian street fight. I was like, Paul, you just made that up. Nobody in the W. |
| 2:40.7 | Has ever mentioned the Australian street fight, but damn it, we're going down under. So now |
| 2:45.5 | that's what you've got to do. That is not Australian. As we left, Roman, called them bitches. |
| 2:50.1 | That was too much for Bronson Reed, who totally ignored Paul Heyman, and everybody started to fight when the useless wrestling security rang to the ring, and they didn't do much because they're useless, and Roman got a couple of shots in there, meaning he was standing tall. Now, that is very interesting, because Bronson Reed probably shouldn't lose a second time to Roman Reigns, otherwise why do the match? But if Roman Reins does lose to Bronson Reed, well, Fal played a Bronson, man, that is a massive win. I mean, why book the rematch if you are just going to have Raines win again? So this could be super duper good. But actually, this summarises this entire episode of Raw. We've gone back to telling stories based on things that have happened in 2025. It did kind of feel to me like WW had moved away from that. So I am going to give it an up. Anytime Roman Raines is in the segment, it feels like a big deal. But Bronson Reed, ma'am, feels like he's about to get a big old push. Good. It also goes to show that if you do put somebody in the hospital there are going to be |
| 3:40.9 | consequences. Fair enough, it's usually jail. But talking about actually looking at the show, |
| 3:46.4 | my word, bless Adam Pierce, because he finally addressed it. Because Oscar was in the back demanding |
| 3:52.5 | that we do have a singles match later between Eoske and Kairi Seine. When Adam was like, listen, |
| 3:57.1 | you do realize I already have an entire show here, I'm going to have to see if I can fit you in. I was like, there you go, it's the small things here on this show. Sometimes we laugh at the general managers because they're like, ha ha, I didn't actually have anything on my running sheets. So like goodness you did fall out. But when you say these things, well, it just makes more sense and it's not two plus two equals potato. Poor Kari Sain then heard about this. And I don't want to say it was funny, but it was kind of funny because she just broke down. This is the worst thing I'll ever say, but Kari Sane is very good at breaking down on camera. She was like, I don't want to fight Eoske. I still want to be a family again. But Oscar looked at her and said, |
