| 0:00.0 | So if I really had to guess an early prediction for WrestleMania 42, although with the Seth |
| 0:03.3 | Rolins injury in October, I really don't know anymore. But I would go with CM Punk versus Cody wrote. I guess it ties into Seth. You just don't know what's going to happen. People are getting injured all the time. Like Punk got injured in that first-rawl rumble, right? Cody seems pretty durable, but you can argue that means maybe an injury is coming because of the wrestlers get surprised by that. I just think it's the time to do it. I think it's the, |
| 0:22.2 | not the one last big match that. I just think it's the time to do it. |
| 0:21.6 | I think it's not the one last big match that WW has, but it is one of the few last matches WW have. So let's not let them add more miles onto their body or increase their bump cards, as Kevin Nash would say. Let's put them in a story. Again, even if we started it in February, still got three months to sell it. even sort of, you know, post-elimination chamber, you could probably do this, say that punk won the elimination chamber. |
| 0:40.9 | I get it because now you're saying, this is before the J. Uso-C. Munk match, depending when you see as a summer's main event. Maybe punk is going to win the belt there, but there's still so long for him to lose that championship, maybe have a bit of shuffling of the deck when it comes to rosters even though I prefer it when everyone go here and everywhere. I just think WrestleMania 42 in Vegas should be headlined by CM Punk Cody Rhodes. I think the promos are the promos that fans want to see because they will lean into everything because there's no type of characters. I think people would be intrigued by the match. I think you have an electric crowd, 50 Beaver Cody, 50 Beaver Punk. maybe it's a little bit more nuance in there and either guy could win either guy could be a world champion and i think you could have a real moment afterwards as well and if you wanted to carry on the feud you could even turn one of them heel i mean that could be cm punk obviously we know he's really good at that and if by that point you feel like Cody's had his run as a baby face i doubt it but, but you'd have to fill the crowd. You could do that too. Then all of a sudden you've got this new |
| 1:30.3 | feud you can carry on, but you've switched the deck a little bit. So that's what I would like to happen. I guess it's a prediction more of my heart than my head. At the moment, the pieces don't really seem to fit. And listen, it doesn't have to be at |
| 1:40.2 | WrestleMania. You can do this at a |
| 1:42.3 | night at Champ. What do I care? I don't care. There had to be |
| 1:44.4 | a big four for me. It makes no difference to my life. |
| 1:46.6 | I just want to see it. But yes, I to be at WrestleMania. You can do this at a night at Champ. What do I care? I don't care. There |
| 1:44.2 | had to be a big four for me. It makes no difference to my life. I just want to see it. But yes, I would go with the CM Punk Cody Rhodes, main event night two, which CM Punk will tick that box as well. Nobody can throw out. You only made a match at night one, like it makes a difference. But I just think it's the biggest thing you can put out there without doing the Rock versus Roman Reigns. Even if I had the Rock versus Roman Reigns, I put that on night one and |
| 2:02.9 | see and Punk go on night two put out there without doing the Rock versus Roman Rains. Even if I had the Rock versus Roman Rains, I put that on night one and seeing Punk Cody on night two. So of course the Rock will go away again, which is his choice. I've got no problem with that whatsoever. But Punk and Cody will be around so you can just sell that as the more important match so they can go week to week. So I'm manifesting it, I'm putting it out there. Punk versus Cody WrestleMania 42, which means it's definitely not going to happen. |
| 2:19.1 | This one's kind of more I'm manifesting it, I'm putting it out there. Pug versus Cardi, WrestleMania 42, which means it's definitely not going to happen. |
| 2:26.8 | This one's kind of more hope than expectation, but I genuinely hope that WrestleMania 42 is the last time we see Brock Lesnar in the WWE ring. |
| 2:30.1 | I'm not stupid enough to sit here and think, well, that was a one undone at SummerSlam. |
| 2:33.6 | We'll never see him again. You sense one way or another he might be factored into Survivor series, but if not that, he's definitely going to be in the Rumble because despite all the understandable backlash they got through bringing Brock Lesnar back, you don't have him come back, beat John Siener and be like, right, thanks for working out your contract, Brock. You're going to use him for the rumble and you're inevitably going to use him then at WrestleMania at least. But I hope that's that because I think he's done everything. First and foremost, in terms of like in ring, he's done everything. He's been a champion for ages. He's been a baby face. He's been a heel. And of course he's's been in a tractor and turned the ring over. He's done all the big things that we expect of all of our favourite wrestlers. But, yeah, I don't know anyone who's like, oh, yeah. Brought Lesnarc back in WW. And I can't wait to see him do this other than put over Gunther at WrestleMania. That's the other thing I'd like to see. Or an Oberfemme, me and Andy were just talking about Oberfemy, for example. I'd have him be at WrestleMania 42. I wouldn't necessarily, but if you're going to do it, having wrestled at WrestleMania 42 in his final match, you don't even have to make a big fanfare about it because you know you've got other people like |
| 3:41.0 | obviously seen it this year and then AJ Styles next year who deserve in my |
| 3:44.7 | opinion more of a fanfare about their their final appearances in WWE but yeah |
| 3:51.5 | you're gonna utilize him I understand he's obviously someone who does move the needle |
| 3:55.1 | but I just I don't think they need him anymore, |
| 3:59.0 | and I don't think a lot of fans really want to see him. |
| 4:02.4 | Yes, obviously when his music hits, you think, oh, something's going to happen here. |
