So a WW return that I feel absolutely just has to happen in 2026. It's one that really upset me in terms of like a wrestler departing from WB when they did.

0:12.0

It's Braun-Strauman. We gotta talk about Braun, because I'm a big fan of Braun Strumber. I just like the chaos that comes with that guy. He's a big ball of meat that

0:23.9

just flies around that ring and puts his all into absolutely everything that he does

0:28.0

within the squared circle. And in particular, like in recent times during his last run,

0:32.7

the stuff that he was doing with Jacob Vattu, the stuff that he was doing with Bronson Reed,

0:35.9

it was brilliant for elevating those guys. And it just added something that I feel is desperately needed right

0:43.0

now to Dudby programming just in general. It added that big meaty monster chaos. That's

0:48.8

what I like, just sprinkled into my wrestling every now and again. I feel like we've not

0:52.1

had a lot of it for some time now, probably since Braun Strowman disappeared from our screens when he was released and let go. I think it was 2024 or 20. Might have been this year. It's all blurring together this, this weird time thing. But I'd like to see him come back. It seems like he's relatively open to that return at some point. Maybe his body's a little bit banged up, and he probably needs a bit of a rest because he got, he went through it. He's had some big injuries over the last couple of years. But hopefully he's recovering. He's in a better space with that body physically right now, and maybe they just bring him back to every now and again just help elevate somebody again and put him in a decent spot. He's that mid-card guy right now that you could just put in there. He's got a ton of credibility. He's a former world champion. He's exciting. He's a draw in terms of there is nothing else like him on that roster right now. I like seeing Braun Strowman on my TV, so I'd be very happy if he did return and popped him on my screen in

1:44.7

26. So make it happen, W.V. Or I will be very angry and you will hear me raw. Meow.

1:53.4

The, the iconics. And I know I've said this probably for a couple of videos that we've done.

2:01.6

And I know we've sort of had it. We've had the inspiration in NXT, but I want a full-blown iconics return in 2026.

2:10.6

And I'm talking early 2026, right? Picture the scene, yeah. The wonderful Chelsea Green is there in the Royal Rumble, right? She's got

2:18.2

Alba Fire in there from The Secret of Herbis, running, running in the show and what have you, and then the iconic music hits, and outcomes, not I'm not going to say there, there are other names, Billy Blady Guy in, Payne Blady Royce, that's right, they're one entry in the Royal Rumble in this scenario, whatever.

2:33.5

They enter the ring,

2:34.8

they square off

2:35.8

with Chelsea Green and Alba fire

2:37.4

and then two other losers. They were also in there. Just get chucked out by the Iconics, and they join the Secret Herbys. I think they're incredible. They need to be on television more. I think they work really well with someone likeelsea green you can even have something with a split potentially down the down the line or whatever

2:55.2

or if you don't want to do that like the smack the wd tag division in the women's is is stacked right now

3:02.6

you've got a variety of different teams but you haven't got someone who fills a role like the

3:06.5

iconics can and i just love them i'm incredibly biased you haven't got someone who fills a role like the Iconics can.

3:27.4

And I just love them. I'm incredibly biased. The glimpse I got of them in NXT reminded me of why I fell in love with them many, many years ago. And I just think it'd be fun. So please, WW, you've off done it already. You've probably got them on that sort of like, oh, we're not going to pay you this, but we'll give you the TNA money. You can have that sort of deal, bring them in. You've already
