| 0:00.0 | Hello my friends, Las Vegas, how we doing? |
| 0:03.0 | Yes! |
| 0:04.0 | Now, I've said it once, I'll say it twice, the concept was always to evolve ups and downs to ridiculous level, |
| 0:11.0 | so somehow not only are we on the streets of Las Vegas, but unlike WrestleMania 39, nobody can kick us out, |
| 0:16.0 | because we've given permission to do it on the streets of Las Vegas, and I think people can hear me coming out of T-Mobile. I have to say it again, because it's my dream. I just want one person to hear my voice and go, it's that asshole. The bull did it who I blocked months ago, and now he's in my head. I don't know if it's going to happen. But like I say, when we are done here, We are going to go to Brooklyn Bridge, not the real Brooklyn Bridge, the fake Las Vegas Brooklyn Bridge, and we are going to see Mark Henry, the world strongest man, do a DJ set. |
| 0:43.3 | Yes, sexual chocolate. |
| 0:45.3 | Sexual chocolate. Can we call him sexual chocolate anymore? |
| 0:49.3 | Who doesn't remember sexual chocolate Mark Henry? |
| 0:52.3 | You popped, you pop the sexual chocolate mark. I you're you popped you pop the sexual |
| 0:55.8 | chocolate mark i can hear you all the weird shake shack there you go so shake |
| 0:59.4 | shake can hear us over there how we doing shake shake somebody screamed |
| 1:05.0 | eat your burger and sit down do they set they sell burglings shakes so i think that's what they do. Right, let's do it again. We didn't do this on camera. Who enjoyed Friday Night's Smackdown? Who secretly would not have enjoyed Smackdown if you're on social media right now? That's me. That's me. It's this guy. So you admit that when you're on social media, you just just say things, right? When you put me on blast, I gotta admit it. There you go. I expect it. Although you have covered your face. So you aren't doing what people on social media do. Most of the time we get like eggs, but you've got a mask on, which is very, very nice. we shall try and talk about SmackDown as best as we possibly can |
| 1:45.6 | I would like as much interaction as possible of course |
| 1:48.1 | hello people up on the bridge not the bridge how we doing |
| 1:51.1 | we're good you know he just gave me a nice wave |
| 1:54.5 | I think you're gonna give me a cheer just a pleasant wave is fine |
| 1:58.0 | very British of you that's what the British do. We do this. |
| 2:01.1 | Hello. Good to see you. So smoke down stuff. Interestingly, and I think this is quite important, |
| 2:07.0 | how much of Pat McAfee did we see on tonight's show? |
| 2:11.7 | He was on screen for about three seconds. Although that was weird, right? He took the contract |
| 2:17.1 | for Cody Rhodes versus Randy Orton. Pat McAfee stole it. Is that going to tie into anything or is that nothing? I think that's probably nothing, right? I think it was Pat McAfee versus Cody Rhodes, that's right. What was that contract that he signed? I couldn't tell. Well, you don't know. Michaelis gave the contract for the main event to Pack McAfee and Randy Orr and then went a |
| 2:37.1 | Kite's big promo, which was a good promo. I liked it a lot. He mentioned the fact that maybe the reason he doesn't like Cody Rhodes anymore is because, say what now? I'm going to make it something. What did he say? He wants to fight you. He said TKL sucks. He's gonna fight me dude I'm going to make something. What did he say? He wants to fight you. He said TKL sucks. |
