Briefcases, Visas, and the Montreal Invasion

Kiara (00:05)
Welcome. Hi, I'm Kiara

Tanesha (00:08)
And hi, I'm Tanesha.

Kiara (00:11)
Like y'all should be sick of us this week probably.

Tanesha (00:13)
wait,

and you know what? I forgot to say you're now into the sister chat. Welcome to Made in Vet Mamas. My brain went do do do do.

Kiara (00:20)
Yeah, that's what happens when we've been, it's been one of those weeks where we, we struggled, but we came back for you guys. We came back for y'all because we have a lot to talk about resting wise. But I know y'all, like I said, I know y'all probably sick of us because yeah, I've this a lot this week and you're welcome. We're happy to be here. Keep it in our story.

Tanesha (00:39)
⁓ And I'm gonna keep posting it just because We were

on Netflix y'all

Kiara (00:47)
Admittedly, I would be doing it too. And it's okay. We get it with that before we get started because I have some things to discuss We got some rest on the cover and I've been all over the place so before we get started we want to remind you that this is your moment to hit that record button and So you're notified, you know when we're ready to release our content because I'm gonna tell you Thursday Friday Saturday who knows when these things come out but the only way you're going to find out is if you are

in the know with our notifications. Or like Tanesha said on our last recording yesterday, Patreon people get to know because we send out emails. I also send out newsletters on Patreon in case you missed things. There too, another reason why you will want to join. And with that, let's get started. So the streets with clear results.

Well, we got a couple of stories. Let's see. man, we got more than a couple, but I want to start with the story that has kept me up at night. Thanks to all the tweets. Thanks to all the tweets. All the tweets. All the tweets. So, know, the rascals going to AEW was a huge story. They've been in TNA for a while. A few of them went to ⁓ WWE. Two of them went to WWE. Then one was released, some from controversial comments.

Tanesha (02:21)
that kept you up at night. ⁓ Lord. Okay, okay, okay.

Kiara (02:40)
or allegations and over hot mess, but we missed him and they was MSK. It was a whole thing. But I feel like we went through this all over again and this time with AEW.

So Trey Miguel He's a rascal, right? So he's part of the crew. We go onto AEW, celebrate, celebrate, celebrate all over social media. Then they premiere on Collision.

Tanesha (02:58)
Right?

Right.

Kiara (03:02)
But he's missing from Collision And everyone's like, question mark, question mark, what happens here? And so then my social media blew up because everyone's like, something's happening. Something's going on. Something's going on. You need to know, which is exhausting. But essentially what happened was AEW released him. So he did sign a contract, but then they released him once they go through the vetting process. So there were some social media comments from 2020 in which they were homophobic.

He did apologize at the time, but obviously it has come back to bite him in the ass. He released a statement talking about that, you he made some choices and some

You can read the statement for yourself. We might even put it up for you guys so you can just get it here. But at the end of the day, we were left wondering what happened to him. There was a moment where he said he was going to take a break from wrestling, but then guess what?

My dad's back in TNA.

As of last night. So shout out to Tony Miguel.

Tanesha (04:03)
Oh, that's right, because he got re-signed.

Kiara (04:08)
Shout out to Trey Miguel You I love me a dude who keeps a job. You know what saying? He like, listen, I learned my lesson. I made some mistakes, but I love wrestling. So I'm going to keep doing it. So shout out to you, my guy Don't be discouraged. Things happen. But I'm happy to see you back on our screen. And also, sidebar, just between me and y'all, the internet is your permanent record. So don't put stuff out there.

thinking it ain't gonna matter, you're not gonna grow up, you're not gonna change. Listen, maybe get a journal, talk to your friends on the phone, but definitely do not put it on the internet because it can screw up your future opportunities. So Mama Kiara talking here, please stop posting all your thoughts and feelings and emotions on social media thinking it won't mean anything because you never know what the world has in store for

So yeah, that's our story. What do you think about it? How'd you feel about it?

Tanesha (05:03)
I mean I feel

that this cancel culture is so exhausting sometimes because the people who should be canceled don't get canceled. And the ones who may have made a statement here or there is like, my God, you are so wrong. You're like, but do you see how long ago that was? Haven't made any more of those statements lately, recently. Can we focus on the ones who are making those statements currently? Let me, digress because.

Kiara (05:20)
Right?

You right.

Tanesha (05:35)
being down a horse that can't get led to water. Ooh, that's a good one.

But I'm happy that he got a job. I'm happy that another company was like, know what, we know who you are and we know that's not who you are in this moment in this time and frame of whatever going on. And we all know we get frustrated at times and we just sit here and just say something out of frustration. That doesn't mean that I'm, that's who I am. It's about who you are outside of what you type on.

on Twitter, Instagram, Facebook, wherever you write these things, it's all about who you are as a person. And who you are as a person will always shine through. So if you're actually who you are writing and venting about, trust me, it's gonna be time, we're gonna see that that's really you. But if that's not really you and you were just upset because something happened and someone said something to you and you da da da, and now you're just venting.

We're going to see that too. I just think people just need to stop trying to cancel somebody over one tweet, two tweets, and look at the bigger picture because there's someone out here really truthfully, people out here truthfully spewing hate, constantly being hateful, doing things to get their way, doing all these different things and they're not canceled. Why? Because they're able to say what you want to say and don't care about saying what you want to say. And then they get praise for it. But us comments folks, let me tell you one thing that I don't like.

then I become labeled as something else, which is crazy. Anyway, that's my TED Talk for the day.

Kiara (07:01)
I like it, I appreciate it, And you need to tell the truth. that's that, next story.

Champa is officially gone from WWE.

He released a statement, which again, I will pop up here so you can read it yourself. But basically just letting everybody know, we have been speculating for a bit, but he just kind of was like, just wanna let you know that I'm leaving. And he chronicled his life and his journey in pro wrestling. This is his third decade in pro wrestling. I'm gonna miss him. But then shortly after we found out that he trademarked what?

Tanesha (07:36)
I'm just like, wow, that's 30 years you were in wrestling. That's a hard pill. We sit here and be like, like, ⁓ I've been somewhere for eight years, 10 years, and okay, now I gotta leave. This person was there for 30, been in a profession for 30 years to walk away from that? That's just crazy. But I mean, I read the statement, but go ahead, I'm sorry. It was just, just caught my, it just like, it hit me like, my God, dang. Yeah.

Kiara (07:36)
What?

Well stop.

Okay, he wasn't

at WWE for all this time. So I just want to clarify that he's not walking away from wrestling. Okay, cool. But I also want to clarify that he's not walking away.

Tanesha (08:07)
I know he was at WWE. Okay, he's not walking away from wrestling. That's all he

Kiara (08:14)
No, because he trademarked no, no. He said for the first time ever, he's a free agent, essentially. That's where he went with that. And then he trademarks this new name, Psycho Killer.

Tanesha (08:13)
said?

Kiara (08:24)
I have a thought here.

First of all, why was that not trademarked already? Because, I mean...

horror movies. ⁓ But you know what? I don't know. I don't know where we're going with this. am super excited to see him tap into maybe the personality we didn't get to experience at NXT or WWE. He did pay homage to the black and gold of it all, but definitely want to wish him well. I can't wait to see what he does next because Champa is one of my favorites.

There's that. story. That's one about Javon giving us the scare of our freaking life. Okay? You know, I was praying on SmackDown. I was like, Jesus, was it Raw or Smite-Down when he got hurt? I think it was Raw. The Raw match was stopped, I'm sorry. And my heart stopped, and I sat there.

Tanesha (09:16)
It was raw. It was raw.

Kiara (09:20)
And I immediately started praying. was like, Jesus, this brother is on his way on the come up. We are not ready. We are not ready. So immediately on my knees, I was praying, Jesus, heal and deliver. And he came through. tell you, answer prayers. Answer prayers. Cause shout out to Devon. They said he's okay. He's okay. He's okay. He continued to travel with the roster. So thank God for that.

Tanesha (09:39)
Hello.

Kiara (09:47)
But yeah, that was a scary moment all wrong when they stopped the match. was like, you know what? Y'all need holy water. We just need to pray before every show at this point. Like what we gotta do? I don't mean nobody else. Nobody else doing nothing. I don't even want to say it out loud. I don't even want to speak the words. I just need everybody to be happy, healthy, and wealthy, and wise. So I've been through that. So there's that. And then lastly, where the hell has Rusev been?

Tanesha (10:15)
You know what? Well, I know Lana out here is on her IVF journey, so maybe he needed to take some time off to be with her.

Kiara (10:21)
Yes, she is.

maybe, but the streets say, the streets say that he was pulled off of TV until his creative is ready. So they don't have creative for him right now. So they kind of just pulled him for a bit. This is the new direction of things from my understanding. So what there is, what the sources say, because I don't remember which one, what they say is that WWE is now starting the process of removing people from

Tanesha (10:28)
or do you have tea?

Kiara (10:53)
TV if they don't have creative for them to get to just rest the character for a little bit until they are ready for them to come back. But I think there's some plus and minuses to this. I think there's some pluses and minuses because I do think there's opportunities for people to still be visible ⁓ behind the scenes. Like remember all those kind of behind the scenes vignettes and conversations or when we see interviews and we see people creeping in the back like

Tanesha (11:02)
well, that's good. Okay.

Kiara (11:22)
I don't want that stuff to go away.

And I also don't want to get burnt out on the returns or the surprises either, which is kind of the other side of that issue. Like I miss the street profits, but I miss them so much at this point that I'm like, please hurry up and get back on my TV. Like, please, am I going to pop when I see them? 100%. But they better have a good story. That's the thing. They better have one because they pulled them for so long. So I think there's a little bit of a caveat here is like,

Tanesha (11:41)
and make you have a good story.

Kiara (11:53)
Does that mean you're going to be focused on a really amazing story where Rusev returns? Or do you just keep him off TV while he just chill? While he's just at home? And what ended up happening at AEW is we kind of like forgot about him. Forgot he was even on a contract or whatnot. Thought we said no yawning. Don't do that.

Tanesha (12:12)
I'm sorry.

Kiara (12:13)
And yeah, that's it. That's the end of the story. So how do you feel about this plan to just remove people?

Tanesha (12:16)
Sorry, all that driving yesterday

has caught up to me.

Kiara (12:21)
Yes, yes it did. I was like, there was not driving, but all the sickness I'm battling right now should be making me sleepy, but I'm energized for you guys out there because this week, crazy.

Tanesha (12:32)
I made right. Yes. Yes. Yes.

And it's crazy. And I'm sorry. I should have got me an energy drink too. Anyway, I wasn't sleepy a second ago. Anyway, how do I feel? I mean, I think definitely if they are taking them off when they do bring them back that story better be kick ass. Like you better had ran it through chat, GBT, Gemini to make sure that that was a full proof. Bring it back.

Kiara (12:40)
I was told to get my sleep down here. Yeah.

Tanesha (13:02)
this is gonna be the pop because I ain't gonna lie watching unreal and watching y'all stressing out about ⁓ The the drama or something. Well, first off that's not how you build the drama Building a drama is how you write it and how you write the beefs that people are having. I'm sorry the conflict actually Sorry, what's the word? ⁓ the storyline

Kiara (13:24)
Mm-hmm.

Tanesha (13:26)
Okay.

Kiara (13:27)
Yes, definitely. ⁓

Tanesha (13:29)
the storyline, all right?

And building it up. And if you need help, we are good. We can help you. We do check with Jack, chat, GBT and Gemini and co-pilot. We do do those things just to make sure he's on the right track. Cause we are writing our books, but understand y'all have to, it's not about just the action and the movement. It's about the buildup and you want buildup, give me more. Cause y'all sure could have gave me more when Naomi and Jade.

Kiara (13:53)
I agree.

Tanesha (13:58)
You sure could have gave me more with Naomi and Jade and Bianca, because even with y'all showing me that in evolution.

It still was like, excuse me. It was like, okay, I get it, but you didn't give me, have Bianca said, we're gonna finish this one for all. No, it ain't finished. You know why it ain't finished? Because it's not inserting you, because you looking crazy. They didn't give you the right storyline. And once again, like my sister, my dear sister has said, that you guys are missing people of our skin color, different complexions, okay? You can even give a mixed one, okay? Put them in there.

and give us some good stories, give more female writers in it, but you definitely need more of a diversity of writers because just y'all old heads and recycling old storylines, that's getting old too. Stop recycling old storylines. I'm sorry, I'm really passionate right now. Cause this is, I just hope when y'all bring them back, it's for a good story and not some, here I am. I'm actually here. Right. But I'm saying, yeah, yeah, good run. Yeah. But as in like make it.

Kiara (14:51)
I run! I wanna run!

Tanesha (15:00)
Purposeful and meaningful that is how you connect with people because now because especially if you're saying you're entertainment cool Well, give me entertainment and not just some moves like I need to be like invested there was times remember when we think about it when they had What's that dude's name? I know I said him before In the ⁓ the in the Asian man when they chopped off his his ding-a-dang and we thought they actually chopped his thing off

and our little sister was crying in the corner, but that was a built up of stories. There was a reason why he was like, and now I gotta do what I'm doing to you because you keep doing what you're doing over here, which is mainly taking his woman. But that was a story building up. It didn't just like, I took your woman, now I'm gonna get, no, it was like, well, she's attracted to me. I'm gonna try to, you know, see what's going on.

Kiara (15:39)
Right.

Tanesha (15:50)
Or even when Vince McMahon had those stupid stories with Sable and all these other people on whatever. Or even when Stephanie McMahon had the story with Kurt or when she had it with, ⁓ did she have it with Jericho? No. Who else does she have a storyline where it was like, or even like when she had the storyline with Tess, it was a storyline that builds up to the fact that, no, the ultimate betrayal. Triple H got married to her without Charvilla's in and he drugged her. What? And as a child, you're like, wait a minute, what are you and me? She didn't know she was drugged.

When you look back at it, it's like, girl, she ain't saying nothing. She knocked out. How you know she didn't say nothing? Like, how you marry her? You know what saying? But I'm saying, but how I'm so passionate. I need to turn myself down a little bit, but it's just make it worth wild. So when they come back on these screens, when the street poppers come back on the screen, it better be a worthwhile story that they're about to tell.

Kiara (16:26)
I thought that. She didn't know.

Later.

Tanesha (16:49)
Not them just coming and I'm coming for the titles from the Usos. No, give me a buildup. Give me them sitting here sneaking. Give me a, they're sitting here talking, talking little slick stuff. Give me that, we have social media now. Give that social media slick talk type of talk on the thing. How y'all sat here and were starting to build up the new day against Jay and Jimmy. Give me that.

Sorry, all right, I'm because I can go on.

Kiara (17:10)
No apologies.

I love it. You I mean do y'all see her out here? This this nose ring and this birthday energy It's just making me excited because the fact that she's like practically glowing from the screen like Y'all this is magical y'all are in for a show today. It's that birthday energy You know, mean like it's coming up and she ready. Rawr. You know what I'm I am here. I'm here for it

Tanesha (17:34)
It is.

Kiara (17:38)
But no, I agree with you. 155 % I agree with you. And with that, let's talk TNA. hmm, Genesis. Genesis.

Tanesha (17:47)
Girl, we were watching together.

That was...

Kiara (17:54)
Okay, listen, I try to keep everything real constructive.

And so I'm going to let Tanesha decide because I need time to construct my thoughts in a constructive manner. So let's talk ⁓ your overall thoughts about the... ⁓

Tanesha (18:05)
Okay.

Well, I'll say it for you.

Look, I'm gonna say it for you. It did not hold up to the hype of Slammiversary, not for me. That's when Westwood made me want to sit here and watch TNA. And then Bound of Glory, you were on the cuff. this, what was this? It was, what was this? First off, first off.

I appreciate the main event, but we all knew that Nick Nemeth was going to try to cash in. Now the fact that he did not cash in because he was too slow, I don't know what he was doing. I don't know what he was thinking in his brain or what was going on. I don't know, but I wish he would have just cashed it in so that he would have lost it. Cause I'm even, I was even thinking like, when he had the money in bank, he lost that too. He did not, he was not a successful cash in. don't.

Kiara (18:43)
Yep.

Tanesha (19:05)
Are we trying to repeat history, but just with a cup? Anyway, I digress. ⁓

Let's see, who else? I think, I mean, I was paying attention, but I wasn't like, I wasn't on edge of my seat like I was.

Kiara (19:19)
You were in gross.

Right.

Tanesha (19:23)
Yeah, I wasn't like, I was watching it, but it was like, okay, I think even the females match. I missed the female match. You know why? Cause y'all put it on the preview show.

Why? The inspiration are a great tag team. And listen, when they first came on WWE and NXT, I could not stand them, okay? I was like, what is this nonsense? But however, it grown on me, okay? And they are really actually really good. So why were they not on, why was this match not on the main card? I'm not understanding.

Kiara (19:47)
Yes, they are.

I don't know.

I don't know. I don't know. I, yeah, so.

Tanesha (19:57)
Especially when you know we don't

watch the pre-show, because y'all talk half of the time. Listen, I'm sorry. Go ahead.

Kiara (20:02)
I do try to watch a pre-show, but I was busy. was, you know, we was preparing for stuff. Anyway, the point is, so yeah, what she said, I didn't, I was not as engrossed as I typically am. I was actually really disappointed. And I know a part of that is unavoidable, right? I know what's going on in our country. I know that we're having visa problems, but you should have the depth of a roster.

to be able to pull out the stops as needed. And I felt like there was a lot of reliance on WWE to kind of help and they did a good job. But I also felt like the way that it was talked about on air was a little crazy because we know that y'all was having visa issues. And Leon Slater, we saw him on SmackDown because he was home. That's why we got him on SmackDown. But then also,

The commentary said a lot about like, you know, we're disappointed. We know you're disappointed. Do you know we're disappointed? Because I was extremely disappointed that it was kind of crazy. And to get more into detail.

We can do the nickname of it all. It was a really long gap by the time that second referee came through, which is like, sheesh, that felt noticeable. And my last chance, Hannah, still the champion though, 155 % agreed. All this match card changes made it real difficult to do a predictions situation because the card changed so much that I'm like, dang, like.

Only a few of these people I could actually ⁓ make predictions for. So it just wasn't the best. I'm just going to say that. There were some bright moments. I definitely enjoyed Mara versus Nick. ⁓ Ryan, I'm sorry, Ryan Nemeth. I did enjoy Mara today and her work there. I enjoyed the fact there was an intergender match on my TV because we don't get those that often. That he was a chicken.

He'll appreciate that that like he didn't really love the ending on that. But you know, that's cool. I mean, you want to further the storyline, that's the way to do it. But it just felt more lows than highs than it should have for me. And so it was very hard to find that I enjoyed it as much as I usually do. So I think look, if he says something like about the

Intro show and said it just wasn't the best work and I kind of feel like this was secondary to that. This was kind of like guys Get in there and mix it up some stuff because that just wasn't the most Engaging amount of time and I had to pay for it. So listen Where money concerns you you need to put your money where your mouth is and it needs to be exciting and interesting and fascinating And it didn't feel like it lived up to everything the visa situation made that joe hendry cedric moose situation

Weird because now it's like why we is now it's a three way for a number one contender Whereas this could be your moment to really mix it up. Like moose was on one with that injury fake injury real injury. I don't know but that even It just wasn't where I wanted it to be from the caliber. I expected of it overall

Tanesha (23:27)
First off, we talk about moose moose did not look like moose. Remember I can tell you look like AI He looked like AI generated moose I was like, am I really that like I really didn't realize moose grew a mustache and stuff in a beard and and He slimmed down. I was like, who is this imposter? I'm like, this is not the moose I saw Who's this this is an imposter and then pasta then he would do certain things I was like, you his brother? Like I was having her crack up cuz I was like, who is this person? This doesn't look like most to me

and you know, you're like moose and I'm like, you are not moose. Who are you? Might as well just put a mask on your face and do what they did with Kane and switch them up a couple of times until they figured out who he was. Cause I don't know. Or even American, American, ⁓ Americano. Grande, sorry, American, whatever. You know what I'm trying to say. Grande, Americano. Cause even we knew who it was, but then at the end it was like we didn't know. They kept switching up a little bit until they figured out who he was.

Kiara (24:25)
Yeah. It just, it wasn't to the caliber of Iceland.

Tanesha (24:29)
I mean, it didn't make sense. mean...

Yeah, because even AJ, he came, but he didn't do anything but talk.

Kiara (24:38)
Yeah, I don't know. don't know. I mean, yes, you're right. But at the end of the day, like the Hardee's and the Righteous, I mean, that was a good match. I thought that was really good. I'm not saying the matches were not good. It just did not feel like a big pay-per-view energy. It just felt like some solid matches. It was good, but it wasn't great. And even like the last match with JDC, like that was good. And I thought that was

Tanesha (24:40)
Right?

Kiara (25:09)
Probably one of the best matches on the card that day for sure. But it just felt lackluster and I don't know why it felt like that. As I'm watching it and maybe y'all can help me work through why it felt like that. just didn't feel epic. It just felt like, well, it almost felt like he could have been a TV pick, which is disappointing. And I absolutely agree that the inspiration should have been on the card ⁓ by far.

Tanesha (25:30)
Mm.

Kiara (25:37)
Y'all kind of gave them another like warm up match if you wanted to give somebody else a chance.

Tanesha (25:40)
Cause I'm about to say,

cause the only female match was technically a Shade, right? And it makes sense, cause I think there was no other one, right? I felt like that was the only one that was on, yeah. Which is crazy. No, we have one more. We had the, ⁓ that match was good. Hold on, that match was good. That match was good. Yes.

Kiara (25:50)
Hmm? That's what I got.

No, no, false. Lin Yi and um...

Because remember Zaria, I was going say my bad, I'm sorry, because Zaria came, this

is what I mean about the card, subject to change. She was supposed to face Danny Luna, but because again, visa issues, she ended up placing Zaria. And I will say, that also was a winner. I apologize. I will say that was a winner and I enjoyed it. But because again, it was a last minute substitution of a situation, I know there's certain things that can be helped, but I wonder under what circumstances could things have been helped?

Like how could we have built this up a little bit more to feel like, don't know. But again, we're relying on, this is what I mentioned, like my concern is we're relying on NXT talent to kind of, WWE talent to kind of come through and give you guys a boost when this is really the time you should be standing on your own and that should be icing to the cake versus necessarily featured necessarily, if that makes sense. So I'm like, I don't know. It just wasn't, it wasn't my favorite.

And again, if I don't have too many constructive things to say, I kind of want to skip through it, but yeah.

Tanesha (27:05)
No, I mean, I do want to say that match was really, really good. I remember we were both like, we were like, wow, Zarya really. And this is also to I'm happy to this Zarya not sold because we need to we need to see more of Zarya because she's really am a powerhouse. She really is ⁓ really, really. She's very impressive. That match was very impressive. And then this is where I also beg. I understand our climate, but at the same time,

Kiara (27:08)
It was.

Me too.

She's impressive, for sure.

Tanesha (27:35)
She, Dana wrestled two nights before in the same state. So how of a sudden to me to say there was a visa issue was like, how? Yes. Like how? Like she was okay to be there two days ago. So what happened where she did it? So now that also makes me question, are you just using that? Right.

Kiara (27:45)
You mean, Janie Luna? Yeah, I don't know. I don't know. I don't know.

Was she not cleared? I don't know what happened to her.

Tanesha (27:57)
Cause I'm also going like, is that a, is that a work? Is that a story? Cause you just wanted to put somebody else in there. I'm not going to say Leon may have not had a visa issue because he was on smack down and smack down was overseas. So I'm not going to say that probably is not true, but I just find it hard to believe that you substituted somebody after they were just there two days ago in the same state, in the same arena that you were in. Now all of sudden they have a visa issue. How, when, when that become a thing. And then also too.

Kiara (28:23)
Yeah, no, she did. So yeah, I want to confirm

you're right. It was a visa issue because I was like, I don't know either. yeah.

Tanesha (28:27)
Okay. ⁓

But it still doesn't make sense because you were able to be here two days ago. But you know what? Some of the things in this country don't make sense. You know what? I'm just going to digress because actually I don't really care. I will say what I have to say and not fear nobody. But that's not what this platform is for. Other than it doesn't make sense that you were okay to be here and you're actually working and you have the proper paperwork and then they take it away just because they felt like it.

Kiara (28:33)
Yeah

Allah.

Tanesha (29:01)
Okay, that's it.

Kiara (29:03)
I get it. mean, but they were, mean, so it looks like just to confirm there were other talent. I did a little quick search. So it was Leon, it was Danny, it was Jody Thread, it was Rosemary as well. So there are other talents that had these kinds of same visa processing issues. But I just think that helped contribute to being a weaker event. And I wasn't necessarily pleased to have paid good money for something that I feel like I could have probably just watched a recap. So that disappointed me a bit.

I just will say that. Anyway, anything else we want to talk about from you want to talk about the Hardy and the righteous? mean, that was the experience. I like that match. Uh oh, not that look.

Tanesha (29:47)
First off, in today's righteous, I may want you to get a different gimmick because that felt really...

Ravish ⁓ Cultish It just didn't sit right but even even when even when Seth was the visionary or the missionary or whatever he was I was like ⁓ I didn't like it. There's some things for me where you shouldn't teether on it shouldn't be a You know, it's a question and I'm not really religious in that per se or spiritual in that per se but it's still one of those like

Kiara (30:02)
Yeah.

Tanesha (30:26)
When it came out, I was just like, what is happening? Why are you dancing and he's just walking like, huh? And then the girl and the thing and I was like, ⁓ And then y'all was, you know, I mean, I would say maybe it was entertaining because I think it did bring out the best of Matt and Jeff, but at the same time, I'm not.

Kiara (30:48)
Yeah, I just felt like it was missing. mean, there are some things missing. That's my thought process on that. OK.

Tanesha (30:53)
Okay,

all good, I'm done.

Yeah, let's talk about it.

Kiara (31:03)
I'm not sorry. I mean, I really wish I could have been excited about that. But Raw was awesome. I mean, the CM Punk and the Finn Balor of it all, ⁓ my God. When he came out to his original music and I just wanted to scream, I felt in my spirit, this is the Finn Balor that I want. The one that I fell in love with, who was a rock star, NXT, who came back for that second run and was everything that I had been missing.

And then you put him back on the main roster and you just let him find her again. No, this is a star. This man is a star. Get him out of the judgment day and get him back into the title picture. Please, I beg you. Because that match with CM Pugs, was like, Balor said, watch me work, okay? And amazing. It was just amazing.

Tanesha (32:01)
I definitely enjoyed that match. I definitely was excited when Finn came out to his original music that he came out with and I was like, oh, is this my...

where I can just do slap my legs and put my arms up. okay. we're not okay. We're not in the and then I'm going free him free him from that contract of the Judgment Day because he don't he don't need them no more and they don't really need him because we already know that is about to destroy them from the inside out. I'm going say it again. So when it does happen, y'all can mark it here. She's destroying them from the inside out. She is gaining each and every one of their trust, especially Roxanne's.

Kiara (32:18)
Yes, yes that one.

You

Okay.

by fans in danger.

Tanesha (32:44)
Which is funny

because Roxanne don't even know what's coming. Like even when she was talking to her like, my God, my Roxy. And she goes, thank you. And I'm like, girl, run. You don't understand that she being sarcastic. You don't understand that she like, I've been watching from the screen and you were seeing here trying to bait my man. Are you serious right now? You think I'm coming in here with peaches and rainbows and like, ⁓ yeah, we're French forever. No, run, Roxanne, run. Pop rocket somewhere. Pop, lock and drop it somewhere. I don't know what to tell you.

Because Liv is coming for you. Okay? You understand, she was a part of the Riot Squad. was, she was, and that was the crazy part. She from the, she became the household name from the Riot Squad and she was the kind one. Now, I don't know. Like, let's just think about that for a second.

Kiara (33:31)
I like this dark energy. ⁓

Tanesha (33:33)
I do.

But let's just think about that for a second. She's telling Finn out to go do whatever. He's going to start feeling himself again and understanding who he is as Finn Balor and how he does not need the Judgment Day. The Judgment Day needs him. Because now his JD, his partner is gone and we don't know how long he's going to be out. Dom is not. He is the only man standing. He's the only man standing in this clubhouse. And you know what?

Kiara (33:45)
Right. ⁓ huh. Agreed.

now.

Yep.

Tanesha (33:59)
He doesn't

need to be, he doesn't need to be anymore. We saw the caliber of what it was. And I also think it has to do with the fact that he was home, that energy of being home and being like, they were feeding off of him. They were just like, ⁓ my God. And he was feeding off of them. Like it was an amazing atmosphere. Like you could see it in his body. Like, ⁓ this is who I am. this is, let me remind you who I am, Finn Balor.

Kiara (34:13)
huh.

Tanesha (34:27)
And I'm not gonna lie, let's not discredit CM Punk because CM Punk is actually pulling it in. Even though I be questioning about his bags and I need you to like, you know, I know you have to get a better skincare routine because I'm concerned about you guys. I mean, I have bags. I'm not saying, and you know what, if you know some of this stuff that I can like change the discoloration and I look even extra younger, sure, let me know, give it to me, put it in the comments. However.

Kiara (34:38)
I mean, who don't got bags? Look at us. We could use some under eye circles.

Tanesha (34:52)
I'm concerned about my guy because after the match his eyes will be red and puffy. You be like, sir, do you not sleep? Do you not put a mask on your face? Do you not do any of these things? I know you have a wife and your wife must make sure you take care of your skin. what, I need you to get your life together because I care that you don't look like you've been through the wringer by the end of the match.

Kiara (35:11)
I love that you do.

Tanesha (35:14)
Okay, I need you to keep it going because clearly you're you are getting better and better like you are Increasing yourself you're showing that you can do it you you know being the age that you are showing that you can be able to Stand in the ring with people who are younger than you stand and deal with it. I Just need you to not show it on your face, please before I tell you you need a vacation, too

Kiara (35:37)
Okay, there's that. I really hoped he had won, he would win, but I knew it wasn't gonna happen. But I was, was, I was crossing my fingers on my toes.

Tanesha (35:45)
I knew

going in he wasn't going to win. was like, I knew he came out saying he not going to win, but this is going to be a great match.

Kiara (35:51)
I was hoping there was some kind of slew.

Tanesha (35:55)
⁓ like with Blake and Thea?

Kiara (35:59)
Mm-hmm. I'm coming over some kind of fluke and it just happened.

I mean, he could have kicked that a half a quarter of a second late. I understand. Like, listen, sometimes these titles need a little bit more movement. You know I mean? Like, I understand we're trying to build up CM Punk, but he can have a mistake one night. It can just be a moment of just... And then we can just give it right back. Like, we can just get his, like, title reigns up. You know what I mean? Like, I think he could get another title. I mean, like, don't you want to be out there like the John Cena's?

And the Randy Orans and the Triple H's, where you got all these double digit title runs, the only way that happens at this age is for you to drop and pick up. That's the only way that it happens. So I just, you know, I was hoping, but I understood. And maybe I'm a little petty because yes, I miss that. But somebody will carry the petty banner forward and I'm happy to do it. Happy to do it. Anyhow, next thing we need to talk about is how pissed off at AJ Styles I currently am.

Because why in the hell would you put your career on the line?

Tanesha (37:01)
⁓ I know your wife didn't tell

you that. I know your wife didn't tell you that. Because I know as a wife, I wouldn't tell you that. like, nigga, they paying you more. What's happening? What's going on? Why are we retiring right now? I don't need you home right now. Like, you could take a vacation. What is happening? Why are you doing such a thing? I would not tell you to do such a thing. Not so early in the game. Negro, I need to make sure, make sure it makes sense.

Kiara (37:20)
I'm not pleased. I'm not pleased. I thought we had time. I thought we had more time.

Yes, that too. But I also thought we had a lot more time with him. according to like what I read maybe late last night, early this morning, it's starting to run together. ⁓ Apparently his contract ends in 11 days. So this is why this is happening. Yes.

Tanesha (37:44)
⁓ really? ⁓

Kiara (37:48)
Which makes me even more pissed off. I'm gonna tell

Tanesha (37:48)
man.

Kiara (37:50)
you right now, I'm more angry now. I thought we had more time AJ. Don't do this to me. I thought we had at least till Summer Slam or...

Tanesha (37:57)
I mean.

Kiara (38:02)
WrestleMania even?

Tanesha (38:02)
I mean, he did say 2026.

He did say 2026. We just assumed it was going to be like John Cena where it was going to be the whole year. That's what happens when we assume. We shouldn't be assuming.

Kiara (38:12)
We can't go to WrestleMania.

We can't just wait a couple more months.

I'm just heartbroken. Anyway, F. Gunker. Okay, F. Gunker and Oliver. I don't like it. I don't like the story. I don't want it to happen. That's right. Don't both up. I don't want it to happen. I am distraught. I'm distraught. Let's just say that.

Tanesha (38:20)
on

Boo to the storyline.

Boobs.

I hear you. I'm mad too. No, I'm mad. I'm sorry. I mean, I'm tired. This is what I'm talking about. Recycling the storylines. We only have one legend killer. You know who that is? Randy Horton. Okay? Hold on, let speak into the mic.

Kiara (38:39)
the

You bet.

Tanesha (38:53)
Brandy Orton, the legend killer, the viper, the one who will punch you in your head and not think about it. The one will give you a RKOs out of nowhere. When I say nowhere, you wouldn't even know he was coming. Okay. Out of nowhere to the point where his family learned how to do these moves. Okay. Trick is going to learn it. He's going to understand that you do not mess with that man. So the fact that you're trying to make Gunther

Kiara (38:56)
Mm-hmm. Mm-hmm.

out of nowhere. That's right. You think Trek would have learned that?

Mm-mm. Mm-mm.

Tanesha (39:23)
Gunther? Gunther? A legend killer? Listen, that's stupid. He's so much more talented than being a legend killer. You could have made him something else. You could have made him the rookie killer. You could have made him the come up from the come up. He could have been the, ⁓ going after all these other titles to become the first ever quickest. What's that thing called? hold on. When get all that, when you...

Kiara (39:47)
Grassland.

Grandson?

Tanesha (39:50)
Thank you. Thank

you. was like, hold on. I know it's something I know. I'm like, I know it's a bad, a baseball term to grand slam, making one of the quickest ones to get it, let him run through it, then take his ass over to TNA. Cause he can sit here and fight moose or fight somebody like make him more productive than just becoming some retired storyline of the legend killer. Because like I said, we only acknowledge one when it comes to the legend killer and that's Mr. Randy Orin.

Kiara (39:57)
Let us be.

I hear you.

Tanesha (40:20)
Put some respect on that man's name. Okay, I'm Hopefully my mic don't fall.

Kiara (40:25)
I you are one today and I

love this energy. This is so fun. Okay. I guess we got to get into Natalia and the Maxxine.

Tanesha (40:32)
have to make up for this. ⁓

Kiara (40:35)
No.

Now, yes.

Tanesha (40:36)
Can you hear me? I had to fix it. I'm

so sorry. I got so excited. I'm so excited because how dare you.

Kiara (40:42)
Is that Beyonce hair?

What's her name? She causes all types of energy.

Tanesha (40:47)
don't know yet. didn't name her yet,

but she's not she's not she's not Beyonce because Beyonce is the other one. that's right. I said she was my face, not to mistake with Mercedes Monet because that's not who I am. I'm more humble than that anyway.

Kiara (40:50)
That's what was Mercedes, isn't that Mercedes? Okay, I thought that was Mercedes.

⁓ Like I said, back to Natalia and Maxxine. You know who I wanted back? Nattie not Natalia. I wanted the low key legend. I wanted her to come down with her hair braided down, with her posse behind her.

Tanesha (41:09)
Cool.

Kiara (41:18)
I wanted the black outfit and if this is our step towards that, then I'm down. But otherwise, who believed that? Who believed that she was like.. oh Maxxine

I'm so happy for you. No, I'm not. No, she's not. My thought was like, Maxxine about to lose. That was exactly what I said at the beginning of the segment. Girl, I'm sorry. You're not getting that title back. Becky is still going to be champion. And the way that this happened was crazy. I'm just going, first of all,

who pins somebody underneath the rope like that?

What the hell? Like that is always going to be a fake out. for, I was like, and for Beck, I was like, Becky's just gonna lay her, like that is just, none of that made sense from a she's gonna win perspective moment. I was like, this should have been a little closer, but I also understood how do we get Nattie and Natalia to come in and like interrupt the match? She could have got disqualified and I would have been fine with that. Like I just thought this was, it was poorly executed.

Very much so. And then poor Maxxine, huh? Why? Why, Nattie? Girls. This is I need some girl writers, because let me tell you something. There's 400 reasons why I'm taking that offer. Okay? I'm be like, you know what? I'm gonna get on the freaking apron and I'm gonna send somebody else out. Maybe bring somebody of NXT, maybe somebody in a hoodie, to do whatever they need to do.

because this was stupid. It was stupid. I was like, this is some ridiculous rudimentary mistake nonsense. And then now he's just like, Hmm. What was that? Why not have her talk backstage? You know what? This is what I wanted to happen, because we were talking about.

Tanesha (43:18)
Okay, yep, tell us.

Kiara (43:19)
I

would have liked her to go backstage and I would like her to be like, I did what I did. And then I would like her to walk out. That's it. And I wanted Maxxine to come backstage and be chasing after this girl. That would have been much more fulfilling than the experience that you gave me. I want her to be like, looking in the mirror, you know, and then like, give me something. Give me the Nattie that we have come to expect.

Tanesha (43:22)
Mm.

Kiara (43:48)
from the AAA of it all. Don't give me this, Natalia. Girl, no, that's not who I want. I just could have all gone so much better. And you didn't even have to say anything. Like, she could have just been back there braiding up her hair or whatever, or putting it back, or putting her low-key legend jacket on, whatever. But no, no, we got whatever the hell that was, that drama full nonsense.

Tanesha (43:48)
I don't I don't know.

Kiara (44:17)
You need women writers. So bad. So bad. Okay, I'm done. Because I just didn't like it. But shout out to Becky for keeping her title. Yes, girl.

Tanesha (44:29)
I'm gonna like sentiment those things. I definitely knew the moment she came out. I was like, ⁓ she's about to betray Maxxine. Like it was too predictable. Like this is where we talk about with storylines. It shouldn't be that predictable. I need to be like in complete shock that that just happened. Not that building up, no, her coming out, we knew. Nah, you ain't coming out here to support her.

Even as she was sitting here, like even on the sideline, she was, why are you warming yourself up over there? What you about to do? Jump into the match. What's happening? Why? Like we already knew it was going to happen. Yeah. Like she was sitting here like, girl, what are you, what you jumping in? Like what's going on? Now don't get me wrong. That match was good. It could have been 10 times better. Maxxine is getting better. mean that scissor kick that, that kick, was like, whoa.

Kiara (45:07)
right, that's a good point. Yep.

They're one good man.

Yes, it was fire.

Tanesha (45:25)
I mean, I wish I had long legs because that is crazy. That's the one move I want to learn how to do. Sizzle kick somebody and then put them down. that's I mean, I have a couple of what you know, that's we're talking about them right now. I mean, I would love to do an RKO. That would be the greatest. Just I've watched and studied those and, know, you slap your leg and they come in. OK, here you go. But I'm just saying as in like, ⁓ and the and the DDT from the rope.

Kiara (45:31)
Guess what?

Tanesha (45:52)
But I will have to find me different moves. know, I want to do something that's different or whatever. But anyway.

Kiara (45:56)
I mean, I would have to do, I mean, I know

the RKO and the cutter are pretty similar, but GDPs.

Diamond Cutter was something to behold. That was to behold. I mean, that and the bang of it all. Sorry, just bringing me back to Nassau again, as you were.

Tanesha (46:04)
Yeah, you can bring that back.

You

Listen,

I get you. Listen, listen, I get you. Yes, but.

Nattie, you could have gave me so much more and Maxxine, you didn't have to. I want to say what I want to say. Actually, I don't care. You can edit it out all you want. I don't care. Nattie, mean, Maxxine, you didn't have to be like a typical white girl. my God, I'm from the valley. Why? Why? Why? You could have just been like Nattie, why? And focus on the target. Instead of you being so in your emotions like, my God. Girl, you could have handled that later.

You're to be like, girl, what you doing? And then on top of that, Natalia, which you like, you don't deserve it. You're not worth it. Girl, what? She said he won that title all by herself. You weren't in that corner when she won that title. ⁓ Like.

Kiara (47:03)
This was crazy. Yeah.

Tanesha (47:05)
Like come on and like you said, yes, there's so many other ways that that could have been more of a powerful statement versus you coming in and being Maxxine. Now, granted, I did want Maxxine to stand up for herself because we've sat here and watched her in the promos that y'all were doing, which was great promos, which also led to the point that I knew that you were coming to sit here and try to take her or dethrone her or whatever. But it made better, even better sense that you let Maxxine actually get the championship. Then you turn on her because then that makes sense.

to turn on her and then tell her she's worthless or tell her that she's not deserving of it is crazy work. Crazy work because she trained out in your dungeon. So if she's not worthy of it, then what does that say about you and your work that you be doing in your dungeon?

I'm leave that there. Cause I feel like I can go, I can go a little bit more deeper in there, but I'm gonna leave that there.

Kiara (47:48)
Yeah.

Yeah, and I really want to say this last part. They never should have touched. There should not have been any kerfuffle in the ring. It really should have ended on a definitive kind of like, what the? So I could come back to this. Like I said, I just gave you three other ways to further the story along without having them touch. That shouldn't even have happened. We should have been building up to that moment of Maxxine getting her hands on fricking Nattie. But the drama notes were missed.

Tanesha (48:13)
Mm-hmm.

Kiara (48:21)
that as well.

Anything else I to talk about from wrong? Because if not, I want to move to NXT because.

Tanesha (48:29)
I'm

Kiara (48:31)
I just want to make sure I cover anything else you want to talk about. I feel like that's the main point.

Tanesha (48:32)
Yeah, no, I'm good. I think, I mean, no,

I think that was the main points. I don't think ⁓ anything else. Let me think about it. We could talk about the tag team match. That was kind of disappointing that it went to Roxanne and to Liv. I think Bayley and Lyra should have had it because they were, well, I mean, I think it was, you know what?

Kiara (48:52)
What?

They were amazing.

Tanesha (48:57)
I think it was predictable that they were going to give it to them, but it would have been better if they would have gave it to Lyra and Becky because they, mean, Bailey, because that they, that when Bailey was doing what she was doing, it just, I feel like they still are not building the storyline correctly with Lyra and Bailey or Bailey. And it's just like, give them something. ⁓ that.

Kiara (49:20)
What is the storyline with Lyra and Bailey? What is it?

That's what I want to know. And I say this, like, what is it? I'm saying this from a place of absolute love, because if you've been watching this, and if you're new here, Bailey's one of my favorites, like, deeply, truly. I can't wait to interview you one day. But I don't get it. I don't know what the storyline is. I don't get it. I'm still trying to understand. Is this still the crazy storyline, or have we bridged it to something else? Because it feels as though we are not in a place that makes any kind of sense.

Tanesha (49:27)
trying to remake. Yeah. Yeah.

Kiara (49:55)
And so I am just literally in puzzlement. So yeah, that's that. I'm gonna leave that there because again, positive, constructive criticism. That's what we're working on. That being said, oh my God, Soruka and Zarya about to be TNA Knockout Tag Team Title Champions. What was it like? That trouble threat was crazy.

But very fun and that is what I think NXT is doing well. Like I feel like we're getting these long term stories. There's a few places I'm gonna touch on that needs improvement, but I like the story. I like the layers. I liked that it felt like we're still trying to figure out what's going on with Seoul and Zarya. Like what's happening with the Ruka? Like what's, know, are we sure that they're on the same page or there's still some jealousy? I feel like there's notes that we're following here and there.

Tanesha (50:23)
Mm-hmm.

Kiara (50:51)
Can I get an inside to their writers room? Who's writing those stories? I want to know, inquire your minds. Because I feel like there's some notes that we follow when we do NXT that just are missed when you get to the main roster of it all. But I thought that was an excellent match. I love the outcome. I'm like, hey, can we get so, is that right? Like now I want to watch TNA because I want to know, like I know I just said this and this is very counter what I said previously about TNA leaning on NXT people.

Tanesha (51:03)
Mm-hmm.

Mm

Kiara (51:21)
But this is how it's done properly. My argument is this JV outcast, Vonsens, that could go. That could have still been gone. Like, I don't know why you're still invading anything. But this is cool. Is it relying on the next team a little bit? Yeah, that's true. Because I still want Zarya and Sol to come up and be in the mix with the tag teams. I feel like this is to take the page out of AEWs, like the eight tag team tornado matches.

Like this would be fun to throw everybody in a situation and see how they chaotically manage this. Because that's much needed, I feel like. But again, I mean, I know I just said two very controversial things, like TNAs should stop relying on NST, but I think it just speaks to the star power of Sol and Zarya that they're making and we want to go back to TNA because they're in the mix of it. But we can't overly rely on that approach is what I'm trying to say. Like it can't be one of those things that is

Tanesha (51:51)
Yeah.

Mm-hmm.

Kiara (52:20)
always happening where you feel like a permanent fixture on their roster. Like it says like TNA slash NXT right now and I feel like that we need to move that a little bit over where occasionally they come by but it doesn't feel as heavily reliant. So that's all I to say about that but that was cool. I ain't gonna lie. I was like ooh ooh are they gonna get tag team title sound? Why not? And how come they're not getting WWE tag

Tanesha (52:49)
That's what I'm saying. But I said that before. need to, we can't just keep taking T and A titles and we're not giving them ours. That doesn't make sense. Make it.

Kiara (52:57)
that. I think that's also why this invasion

thing is weird because it feels like they're not getting any they're not getting any upping versus like getting stars on their show. They're not getting the upper hand terms of titles so I do kind of understand that. Kind of sucks.

Tanesha (53:13)
Like

it's one of those. ⁓

This is where I feel like the gap between TNA and NXT is failing because we're not properly doing the switch off correctly. We're not.

Like in the beginning it was like, okay, great. That's what actually made me want to watch TNA because the evasion, the trick Williams taking the championship from Joe Henry and Mike Santana and everybody sitting here fighting for it. When JCJ sat here and took the title from, who did she take it from? Marsha, that's her name, Marsha, right? I think so. I think that's what she took it from. Marsha. Yeah.

Kiara (53:55)
Masha? I was like,

did she take it from her? Or was that another triple threat?

Tanesha (54:01)
No, this was the, was it a triple threat? I don't remember. It was that same anniversary when she took the championship, but it was one of those like, okay, cool. Then we have, then you would have had, why couldn't we let Leon and Javon take the NXT tag titles? That would have made sense. That would be getting you in the bridge of the gap between, ⁓ TNA and NXT. Now you have one belt over here. Like give them a belt.

Like really give them about like I'm not under.

Kiara (54:32)
I'm to go there.

Tanesha (54:33)
I'm not understanding why we just can't give them about because we can because that also helps or two because I also hope expand the stories that are happening. You cross you have to sit here and work with each other to make the story work. You have to especially if we're going to have TNA pretty much rely on you make it make sense because now I'm like Zarya deserves another title shot but she should come in with a different like yeah you got up on me but you know what I still got beef with you now I got beef with you because your people came in

Kiara (54:37)
too.

I agree.

Tanesha (55:03)
My people had to sit here and defend like that could have been a perfect thing because that could be a triple threat match that could be so many different things that could be happening from that that would can cause a different type of riff between Zarya and Ling Ling Ling Ling Ling Ling Ling Ling Ling Ling Ling Ling Ling Ling Ling Ling Ling Ling Ling Ling Ling

Kiara (55:32)
Influence.

Tanesha (55:33)
Thank you. That's all I can say. I keep wanting to say something. Fatal Influence. I mean, listen, they're good too. I mean, we've talked about this before that. ⁓

Not Farrah, what's the other girl's name?

Jesus, what's everyone's Yes, Lainey. She was a perfect, perfect ⁓ ad to that ⁓ girl. I'm trying to figure it out. I don't remember everybody's name. I remember the ones I like, like Jada. Like, like her. And.

Kiara (55:50)
Lainey?

Tanesha (56:07)
I don't know where I was going with this, but either way.

Kiara (56:10)
I get what you were going with it. I get it. At the end of the day, like...

Tanesha (56:13)
evil.

Kiara (56:13)
do better. Like, I do feel like you need to they need to be trading ⁓ titles and opportunities and things like that to keep the story fresh on both shows. But then also what you said about

Tanesha (56:15)
Bye.

Kiara (56:27)
⁓ people who should have had these opportunities. I agree with that. I mean, I don't, I don't get what's going on here. Doesn't especially like I said about that JB team, the outcast coming in, like y'all got no belts, which I'm going to take involved belts. Like it don't make sense. Anyhow. Yes, I agree with you. Also, Jane is back and not only is Jada back, Jada is back back with this promo girl. We want to interview you.

Tanesha (56:52)
I got a keynote, thank

you. Yes, please. I have a keynote. I have a keynote.

Kiara (56:56)
We want to interview you because you

are incredible. And that promo spoke to my spirit where preparation meets opportunity says, like, yes. Okay, I'm let you go because I know you got a lot to say about.

Tanesha (57:12)
Well, no, I mean, I love the promo, but I want to take the key point away. And I think this spoke to a lot of brown and dark brown and black females.

of your stature and of not your stature, just little girls everywhere where you wrote, I'm going to quote you where you said, the standard that refuses to bend just because the room feels uneasy because just because I step into it. Girl, when you said that, I said, hold on, let me rewind that because that is the fact, unfortunately, that we are experiencing.

Kiara (57:53)
Mm-hmm.

Tanesha (57:53)
We are

intimidated by us by not even knowing who we are and what we speak in and what we do just because we walked into the room and I have to level myself and lower myself to make you feel better. No, absolutely not. And the fact that you can walk in there and sit here and say that and then you had another gem and I did not write that one down, but that other gem that you said after it. Girl, yes, yes. And

Kiara (58:01)
girl.

Night out.

Tanesha (58:21)
And I can't wait to have you on here for us to pick your brain and have you a part of the mama circle and, be a part of this. Because at the end of the day, girl, they're overlooking you. Why? Don't know. That's your business. That's what's happening. But there's no way. Cause you've been given promos.

The fact that the audience was behind you, fact that you had that pop behind, like you are not supposed to be somebody who just brings somebody up. You are supposed to be up there and elevate yourself. And I'm not going to lie. I felt like when she said, she says something and it was about, ⁓ that's when you said that I am not good enough. were telling me I'm not good enough. I felt that in my spirit. And I felt like that was something that someone was actually truthfully telling you. And you were saying it from the bottom of your heart because I felt your voice shake. heard that homie.

I understand. We understand. But I understand because we don't understand why you're not in the chat, why you don't have a championship, why they haven't handed you a championship because you are so well more deserving to have it. So I'm not sure if someone in the back is telling you not good enough. Y'all need to stop that because you want to know something. She's amazing. Amazing. Great caliber. That promo, if that didn't do anything, it should have shut up all the haters, but it's not.

Kiara (59:33)
Cheers.

Tanesha (59:41)
because haters are always going to hate my love. You just gotta keep showing and proving and don't shrink yourself to make anybody feel better. Especially not no Blake Moreau. All right, I'm done, I digress.

Kiara (59:54)
like all that all of it all right then I mean we don't have to wrap things up because it's the whole hour and we wasn't supposed to be here this long but there's exciting stuff coming yeah momentary okay I'm sorry we wrap this up because you know you know how it is we be getting into things and I got things to do so

Tanesha (1:00:06)
What?

Yes, you got a meeting. Yes. Yes, I'm sorry. I got it.

I'm so sorry. That was passion. I had to get that out. sorry.

Kiara (1:00:17)
There's no apologies necessary.

Zero apologies. Stop apologizing. That's my first lesson for you. I appreciate this energy. I appreciate the cutting in. I love the perspective.

Step into that, okay? Bring that every time, I love it. I don't know what to say about Shiloh Hill. I don't know what to say about Tony D'Angelo going to jail. It's just a lot going on at NXT. But as we wrap things up, SmackDown is today. I'm super excited to see this fatal four way that is coming on Saturday Night Main Event. And actually-

I didn't expect Saturday Night Main Event to even be happening because Royal Rumble feels like it's like two seconds from now. So it's a little bit like jarring to know that we get to do the speed round right now, but let's get to it because tick tick. Okay. Let's get to it. Go. Go.

Tanesha (1:01:05)
Mm-hmm.

one quick thing. One quick thing. Ricky,

you sounded so much better on commentary, not complaining.

Kiara (1:01:17)
Yes. All right. So.

Tanesha (1:01:21)
Yep, speed round, let's do

Kiara (1:01:23)
Thank you for not

Tanesha (1:02:03)
it.

Kiara (1:02:04)
Speed round, let's talk Saturday night main event. There's four matches. Let's get to it. The quicker the better. You how this goes. And.

Sam and Zayn versus Randy Orton versus Trick William versus Damien Priest is the fatal four way with the winner facing Drew McIntyre at the Royal Rumble. Who you got?

Tanesha (1:02:27)
Randy.

Kiara (1:02:29)
Yes, I'm going with Randy too because I feel like we're headed for some trick, maybe Damian fun. I don't know, but I feel that Randy should be next up, okay, for Drew. And I can't wait to run that back because woo, those two are great together.

Tanesha (1:02:36)
Thank

Cause they got beef.

They got beef. ⁓

Kiara (1:02:47)
They don't even need help. Like we already know. We already know and Randy said he ain't gonna be pulling no punches when he ready. So I'm ready. All right, we got Cody versus Jacob. That's a grudge match. What you got?

Tanesha (1:02:58)
I'm gonna say Jacob,

but somebody's gonna interfere.

Kiara (1:03:02)
Listen, I would like to tell you, Cody.

I feel like you did this to Jacob. I feel like Jacob is picking the wrong person when he went after Drew. Drew will tell us if he did this. So I feel as though there's definitely something here. So I feel like maybe Cody attacked Jacob for all we know. And Jacob doesn't remember yet, but maybe he will. Maybe Cody will admit it. And this will be our continued road to the descent of madness that I've been calling for. I'm ready. Let's get it. All right.

Women's Tag Team Child Match. We got Rhea and Eo versus Liv and Roxanne. Who you got?

Tanesha (1:03:40)
I'm going go with Rhea and Iyo

Kiara (1:03:41)
Yeah, I get to see shenanigans afoot. Shenanigans afooting. There will be some disqualification, somebody coming out. Maybe it'll be Lash and Nia Maybe it'll be the Kabuki Warriors. Maybe it'll be Becky and Lyra. I feel like shenanigans are afoot. But also, if the title changes hands, I don't care either. Like, I'm kind of good with that too. I like when titles move. So, but I definitely don't think they're moving.

All right, and then we got Jade versus Jordan for the women's championship match the first time in 80 days that's been defended. So 80 plus.

Tanesha (1:04:18)
I'm gonna say Jade.

Kiara (1:04:19)
It ain't going nowhere. Jade is that bitch. Period. So, yeah.

Tanesha (1:04:25)
And Jade, we want you on here

too. I actually want to talk to you. Sorry. Yeah. Shoot my shot.

Kiara (1:04:29)
Yes, we do. We want to talk
