What is going to blow your mind, so make sure you're sitting down like me, and the reason

0:12.5

I am sitting down is because it's quite late over here in the UK, so everybody at what

0:16.8

Coltrade's Q has rightfully gone home, but I needed to tell you this, so as I've just

0:23.0

done the basic editing I sit down, so you realise this from a visual point of view.

0:27.4

So yes, for you see, according to PWInsider, before it was decided that Brock Lesnar was going

0:33.7

to win the Royal Rumble, the person slated to be the victor was none other than we used

0:40.2

to call him Matt Riddle. Why? Here's why. I mean, that's all I've got, given the reaction

1:28.0

Now I have no problem with less than a winning the Rumble, even though it would have been far

1:31.1

better taking that story and putting it on somebody else's shoulders, but again, look

1:35.9

out the fallout of this, it didn't go very well. I just counter-favombed them, why when

1:40.1

you already had this on the table, you would go and sit on a chair. I mean, fiii, it gets

1:46.1

even weirder as Randy Orton's name was also banded around, and when you find out why you
