Main Event Mamas Episode 35: AJ Lee Returns Plus Clash in Paris Recap and AAA Worlds Collide Preview

Kiara (00:05)
Hi, it's Kiara.

Tanesha (00:08)
And Tanesha And you're now entering the sister chat. Wow, I forgot. Welcome to Main Event Mamas

Kiara (00:15)
Welcome to another late night wrestling episode because we're back. We know you missed us last week. I missed us last week because the things I had to talk about. But don't worry, we're not going to shortchange you because we're definitely talking Clash in Paris and the aftermath. And of course, we're going to start with our streets are talking. But before we do that, we want to remind you that this is your moment to hit the subscribe button. This is your moment to

Well, if you were subscribed, you would know because it would have dinged on your box with the wonderful announcement we put together today. So just saying, you don't want to miss nothing. So you definitely want to subscribe to our channel. And with that.

The streets are definitely talking.

Tanesha (01:13)
I know.

Kiara (01:15)
The streets had a lot to say. But there's no way, there is absolutely no way we can start this episode without talking about the biggest news story for WWE. AJ Lee's return. I mean, that is by far the biggest news story period that's happening.

Like I said, Lee made her shocking amazing. shocked I was because I did say, happy AJ Lee better show up at SmackDown day. But I was thoroughly excited to see her show up at SmackDown last week. I mean, my God, like it blew my mind. And I want to say something. I'm going to ask you because I know this was a big deal for you because I was definitely not watching.

Anyhow, I know I was not watching a ton of wrestling when AJ Lee was around, but I felt like I was super geeked up about this. I'm not even sure why. I know who she is. I know of her. But I have to ask you how you felt because you were definitely deep in the diva situation when AJ had her moment. So what was that day like for you?

Tanesha (02:22)
I was.

mean, ultimately it was dope. ⁓ I wish things were like how they were back in the day that we didn't know that it was a possibility that that was happening. Cause we've been talking about AJ Lee coming back for a while. There was talks about AJ Lee coming back during the Women's World Rumble match and she not showing up. Evolution and then Evolution. So she's definitely been somebody that people have.

Kiara (02:46)
Evolution. That's right.

Tanesha (02:55)
including myself, like, that would be so dope if you came back because I did watch that era when she was on. And to me, she's super talented, but she definitely was cool, cool, crazy. But I mean, as in her character, hold on, her character was cool, cool, crazy. And, but I feel like that played up because if she wasn't that, who would she be?

Kiara (03:12)
I heard she don't like that word.

Okay.

Tanesha (03:24)
She couldn't be the nice person like she would play like even how she would get all the guys to be like my god and she come kiss you and then she like backstabs you that like that was like It's like she literally backstabbed them, especially the the segment with her and dang Brian and Like, you know, I know yes, cuz I yes, yes, cuz I had okay So which I don't know is I started her on a crash course of AJ Lee

Kiara (03:43)
I did catch up, by the way. I caught up.

Tanesha (03:52)
And unfortunately that YouTube that we were watching was a very long one and we had to go to bed. So she was gonna...

Kiara (03:56)
It was an hour

and 32 minutes. And I watched every minute of the hour or 32 minutes and then furthermore kept going, found SmackDown episodes where it left off or somewhere in the middle and then proceeded to watch it all the way through. And I have a gripe, but we're not gonna talk about that yet. We're gonna get to the gripe after we finish talking about AJ Lee. So back to her. Yes.

Tanesha (04:13)
⁓

Okay. Okay.

So for me, it was dope to watch how her music hit, even with all of us kind of like, she's showing up. We know she's showing up. We know she's showing up. ⁓ But to still hear the pop and then to watch her go out and soak it up.

That's what I liked. I liked the fact that she really soaked up the energy of people actually happy and excited that she showed up and that she actually came. Because for a period, she kind of like retired. She wasn't gonna wrestle. There was no more of that. She wasn't doing it. So to see her come back 10 years later after she left and also pretty much

Kiara (04:39)
Yes.

Tanesha (05:07)
Literally like the next day was like her 15 year anniversary of being in WWE technically anyway. that's so even though that she did so much in a short period of time of her career to make that impact that people are like, yeah, like we are invested. We want you here. And it's not just cause like she's AJ Lee. She's not AJ Lee's CM Punk's wife. She's AJ Lee. Like she's her own identity and brand. And on top of that, can we just talk about how CM Punk was just looking at her?

Kiara (05:36)
I mean, I tell you, it was beautiful to see the way he openly adores his wife. It was everything in his face and his mannerisms. I was like, I don't know who's more happy. I don't, he's like, my baby's home. And she was walking around glowing, first of all.

Tanesha (05:38)
Can we just talk about it?

Kiara (06:00)
just glowing. I was like, who is this beautiful woman? I know her name's AJ Lee. Did she always glow? This is why I needed the crash course. I was like, what is this thing? It's happening. But the way he looked at her was...

Tanesha (06:09)
Yes, yes, yeah. I mean, to be, I don't think,

yeah, I'm sorry. Yeah, no, the way she looked at, like, to be, you know what it is? You can tell when someone really loves that person and when they're genuinely happy for what's happening with them, right? You can always sense that. And to watch that, like, to the point where,

He was just like, you got this? I'm gonna let you have this moment. Even when we talk about what happened on Royal, he still was letting her have her moment. It wasn't like, I am trying to step on your spotlight because this is big. And we don't know what reservation she had. Are they gonna really be excited about me coming back? know, cause you know, just.

Kiara (06:57)
There's no way anybody

wasn't gonna be excited. We've been calling her for her to come back. And I say we, but we all know I wasn't really me. But many people were calling for her to come back. I was just curious, cuz I'm like, who are you? That everyone loves you so much. But that crash course was everything. Shout out to you two and WWE for putting that up.

Tanesha (07:16)
Like now you get to see, like

you see where even her character work is phenomenal. Like, especially with her and ⁓ Caitlin, yo, the way she tore that girl down.

Kiara (07:22)
It was amazing.

I did see, so the crash course involved the entire storyline. We had the end of the Dolph Ziggler situation, like briefly. It was like the end. And then of course, while that was happening, we started the Caitlin situation, because obviously Biggie was part of that trifecta right there. That was crazy. I really felt bad. And I was like, this is me. Many years later, like, ooh, girl, I'm so sorry this happened to you.

Tanesha (07:43)
yeah, uh-huh. Uh-huh.

huh.

So imagine

me watching. I was like, dang.

Kiara (08:02)
But it was good TV. It was good

TV, even all these years later. I was like, where is this next episode? I was like, can you make sure this is going to continue? So again, shout out for them for that hour and 32 minutes of joy, because all I had to do was keep going to hear the rest of the story. And then I was like, I don't even know what was happening on Raw or SmackDown or whatever it was at this time, but I don't care because I was so focused on this storyline.

It was just so good. And the way that she played Caitlyn to win the Divas... And then to see the Divas Championship again. I was like, oh my god. Now that I do remember. I was like, you remember that championship? Girl. I was like, wow.

Tanesha (08:48)
Yeah, I remember the championship. Listen, I remember that.

So ultimately, to answer your question, I was very happy in a way, but not just for me as a fan, but in a way for her. And just like I said, watching the joy and whatever reservation she may have had, watch that go away once she really received. That's the other thing too, receiving.

the goodness, right? Because you could come back and be like, and not really fully receive what's happening because you're just like, I just need to focus. And even too, in one of her promos, I think it was on Raw when she was like, she started talking and then she went on like another tangent. She was like, OK, wait, I got to focus. Hold on. And I was like, yo. But what that also was like.

That's you being also, I think too, connecting as a fan and understanding too that they're real people. But in that moment was actually like her being vulnerable. She didn't have to tell us that she wants therapy. She didn't have to tell us that she was diagnosed with being bipolar. Like she didn't have to say all of that, even though we knew, but she still didn't have to say that out loud to connect with anybody. So, I mean, ultimately I was extremely excited to see her come back and be in her element.

Kiara (10:05)
I mean, I was shocked that she retired at the age of 28. I was like, that's really young, I think, for retirement. But what I am enjoying the most about this is that there's this resurgence of people who are not that old.

Kiara (10:21)
So like I was saying, I just think it's incredible that we're seeing this resurgence of people who were there around the time that she was there, like the Nikki Bellas. And I'm like, who else is coming back? You know what I mean? Like, who else can we expect to just pop up? Do we think Kaitlyn's gonna show up? I'm gonna, I'm at a loss here. Because I was like.

Tanesha (10:39)
Now listen, ⁓ that would be something. ⁓

Kiara (10:47)
It was actually really cool for me as someone who didn't watch during this time to kind of see the way she introduced herself to the audience. But again, I had a little crash course. So I was prepared. But it was nice to see her introduce herself and I loved it. I loved it. I'm your favorite wrestler's favorite wrestler. I was like, yes, sis, you are.

Tanesha (11:09)
But that's even

the truth though, because you got Roxanne Perez, she talks about that's mama and I'm daughter. So. ⁓

Kiara (11:16)
Yep, yep, which is

so amazing by the way. Did you see their pictures? Yeah, yeah, that was awesome. All right, so we I'm sure.

Tanesha (11:21)
Yes, yes, yes, yes. With the coffee, you know, she's trying

it and I was like, I said, aw, look at y'all, you look so cute. It's who she turns on you.

Kiara (11:30)
I know, it was so cute. All right, well, I'm sure we're

gonna talk about more AJ Lee. We're gonna talk more about AJ Lee because there's plenty of AJ Lee. I was telling Tanisha we could probably do a drinking game with the amount of times we're gonna say AJ Lee this time. But it's cool, it's cool. We're still in the streets, we're talking, so let's hit up the next story. So I think this is inconsequential now. But last week, there was a new story about SmackDown's viewership dropping, right? So.

Tanesha (11:36)
Yes.

Kiara (11:56)
They said the recent episode, which obviously was not the one that we're talking about right now, because that saw record highs. Let's just say that. Record highs. ⁓ They had an all-time low previous to that. And it had become a talking point for a lot of people. And I'd like to dig into prior to this, what do you think was contributing to the lower viewership for SmackDown?

Tanesha (12:00)
Absolutely not.

Storyline. ⁓ You took your primary people and put them on Raw.

Also now, I feel like you're dropping the ball in the tag team division versus when you weren't. And now you are, because I get it. We will never understand the reason why sometimes you guys pick whoever y'all decide to pick as champion. But.

Kiara (12:52)
But the Wyatt Sicks as champion is like killing the division. So that was not a great decision.

Tanesha (12:55)
it is. And I'm not sure if that's, I'm not sure if,

so I'm not sure if that's what they wanted to do, but it was kind of fun to watch where y'all were going with it and making everybody like, no, you fight, you fight over here. No, I'm not gonna do it. You're gonna do it. Like, but it was fun to see that, but like, to see that you're still giving like I don't even, I just think it's the storylines. Cause even like now they're about to try to break up Montez and Dawkins.

Kiara (13:02)
now.

It was, yeah, yeah.

Tanesha (13:24)
for what? But for what though? Like what are you about to do? Like where are going with that? So it's like, I think they're just gasping at straws and trying to figure it out.

Kiara (13:24)
I'm not pleased about this.

Yeah, I'm not pleased about this.

Yeah, I agree with you. think, I agree very much it to do with storyline. But the other thing I think is the problem is that where are Roman and Cody again? Shooting movies. So I think that that's something that we have to consider too. And I think we talked about it in a much earlier episode. What do you do if your hot talents are out here working in Hollywood and you're suddenly without them? Now, yes, it is an opportunity for people to step up.

But you have to remember, you've built stories around these people and now they're just gone. And so it felt like there was very much a hole in the storytelling of SmackDown. You take it down from three hours where we had a lot of stuff to two hours where it's a little stuff. And we're gonna talk more about the Montez of it all because one of the things I do wanna bring up is that some of his best work is being done on social media. Same problem I had with Asuka. Like, why are we seeing these amazing promos?

not on your show, but on social media. That, those are things that I would be interested in seeing on TV. So it feels like they're in a bit of a trouble spot, or they were. I think AJ Lee kind of paused the inevitable problem we're going to see, which is why this storyline is bleeding on Raw and SmackDown right now, I feel, because it's going to be the hottest story.

Tanesha (14:41)
Mm-hmm. Mm-hmm.

Mm-hmm.

Kiara (15:04)
And yes, it's kind of lazy storytelling because now you don't have to figure out what to do with this tag team division that's floundering on SmackDown from being at the all-time height. So like that was the thing we were excited about. So the point where, like I said, that table ladders and chairs match, my God, that ladder match is what it was, I think. It was amazing. It was incredible. And then now the payoff isn't worth it right now.

But we're going talk about that because we are going to wrap up some Clash in Paris stuff and I definitely think Montez and Dawson will be part of that discussion. So thanks for that. Another thing I want to let you know in case you didn't know because you know I've been watching AEW. So last week they announced that AEW's pay-per-view events will be available to also stream on HBO. Now starting with All Out which is this next event that's going to be going up against with... ⁓ Wrestle Palooza

So, ⁓ which is a big opportunity for the company. However, I also think it's interesting because it's still a pay-per-view, right? it's not the model that we're seeing with the ESPN and the peacock of it all. It's still that you have to pay additional money to see it. People have said it was, you know, it's a good move for the company's reach, but I'm like, you still gotta pay it. So ultimately...

My problem is why am I paying for a service to continue paying to see an event? That's where I think WWE kind of has a leg up because for me, I have ESPN built into my Hulu, right? Because Disney and Hulu and ESPN are all under that umbrella. So for me, you know, it's about two seconds turn on that TV. Even with the AAA, all I have to go is turn on YouTube. So I think it really helps with ⁓

all of the views, but I don't know if this model will continue to be profitable for them in the future, especially if you have people who are casual fans, right? So.

Tanesha (17:16)
I mean, I can definitely tell you I'm not paying for a streaming service, because you gotta pay that too, unless you have it in your cable. And let's be clear, I don't think a lot people got cable anymore like that, or there's still some. But I'm not gonna pay to have a service monthly, and then pay to watch y'all events.

Kiara (17:39)
you

You

Tanesha (17:43)
That was like angry.

Kiara (17:44)
I it wasn't anger, it was like, where am I putting this phone? I'm sorry. I had to answer it, my bad, my bad y'all. All right, bad apologies. But yeah, no, I get it. That's one of my biggest issues. Though I did say, I...

Tanesha (17:52)
It's alright, it's alright, it's alright, it's alright.

Kiara (18:01)
don't know that I would wanna do this. And I don't know that it puts it on the same level. So, I mean, it's good for them because now if you have HBO Max, I guess you could also potentially get HBO events there, it's no change. It's no change to me. All right.

Kiara (18:21)
so there is one more story that I have been hesitant to talk about because I think it's kind of a non-story to be honest, but also because I feel like it's important to talk about in a way because we see it all the time and we haven't talked about it before and it involves two of our favorite people, Jey Uso and Jaida Parker.

Tanesha (18:39)
long.

know.

Kiara (18:48)
So the streets have all sorts of shenanigans about this. And typically I would not talk about this, but it keeps coming up and up and up. And so I'd love to get your take on it, but first I'm gonna give you the breakdown on why this is like the most repetitive conversation ever. So back, we saw this viral video back, I think two years ago, 2023. And, but I think...

Tanesha (19:10)
like a year ago.

Dang, that was that long?

Kiara (19:16)
Yes, but I do think the video was, it was blurry, so it was kind of weird. That's the one when people were in the club and they said they saw a hand somewhere it would normally be for friendly situation, right? And so there was some speculation that somebody was, you know, moving up on somebody's man because as far as we know, Jey is married. So

We all kind of dismissed this. I think you and I had a quick chat about it and we were like, whatever, nobody wants to talk about this, it's crazy. And it was blurry, so don't come at me with some speculation.

Tanesha (19:46)
huh.

Well, no, I

didn't say it because it was blurry, but.

Kiara (19:56)
I did

because you know what saying if you ain't got the man's... Exactly no face don't case. Exactly.

Tanesha (19:58)
No face, no case, homie. No face, no case, homie.

Just

because someone was wearing the same clothes I was wearing that I posted previous does not mean that was me. Clearly, clothes are made not just for one individual. I hear you.

Kiara (20:20)
Yes. Well, well. Okay. So there was another video, this one, recently, was maybe a couple weeks ago, where they were walking in the airport. Now it was def- well, I'm sorry, there were two more videos. There was one video when they were a fan, kind of saw them in the car together, and they were on their way somewhere, I guess outside an event or something, and he got an autographed, I think from- and to wear his hat, correct?

Tanesha (20:34)
Mm-hmm.

and he got them to wear his hat.

Kiara (20:50)
And so that was kind of like fuel to the fire and what brought this back up again. And then there was another video, that's the third video, of them at the airport walking in.

Tanesha (21:01)
and him touching her

stomach.

Kiara (21:05)
We don't know that because we didn't exactly see that. All I'm saying is...

is our business. That's what I'm saying. I mean, I love me some Jaida Parker deeply. I love Jey Uso. I don't really know that this is our business, but I officially thought it would be worth talking about it since, you know, it made its way into our sister chat of like, what's up? So what is your take on all of this?

Tanesha (21:36)
What I will say is, know relationships can be very complex, especially when you're married. And I'm not gonna say he owes anything, but I do think since you made it such a big thing about you being married, and in some interviews you talk about how your wife was this and your wife was that. I do think you should clear this up.

As in in a way that, nah, you're cheating on my wife, or, you know, we have an open relationship, we move forward, she got a man, I got, you know, whatever the case is, that's how we work. Or, or just speak up, nah, she's my friend, like she's my homie homie, and we just, it's what it is. And my wife knows, and we, you know, everybody's copasetic and chilling. And, you know, you're making more complex things than it needs to be.

or me and my wife ain't together and we haven't been together for some time. Like, I don't need no timeline. I don't need you to tell me how long y'all been not together, not separated, but I do think it should be something that should be said because you did already open yourself up by saying multiple times that you're married. She was this, she was that, she was this. And to watch you, what seems like it could be an intimate.

situation.

speak on it. I'm just gonna say that because you know what? I'm also say this, that is the devil advocate. We also know there are to be girl and guy friendships and how that may transpire is how they may transpire. His wife may know, she may know what's going on and she may question things and he may clear it up and they move on with life. ⁓

Do I think that we should be so pressed about what he doing? No. No, because if he was out here in the club by himself and we didn't know who he was, we were minding our business. We wouldn't be, we wouldn't be all up in there like this. Now I will say that definitely, you know, at the club situation, I could see where that seemed a little, you know, your hands were a little up the thigh and you were rubbing a little bit, but at the same time,

Kiara (23:41)
It's true. We would.

Tanesha (23:59)
That can still be a friendly thing. I mean, I can see it from two coins of it. I can see it from, ⁓ I don't know. And then can see it from the other side as in like, nah, that's really my homie. We just chilling and mind our business. I mean, especially that second video. Like she did get up about that front seat. Like she was the passenger princess, but they also seem real chill. They didn't like make it seem like, don't take no video of us. Don't do that. So that's where I'm like, I also don't think.

It is what we think it is. I just think that's the fact that we, if you grew up in the era how we grew up and we remember Lita and Edge.

Kiara (24:37)
So you don't think it's a Lita Edge and Matt Hardy situation.

Tanesha (24:37)
Amen.

No, could be a toss-up. It could be both or either or it could be a Stephanie and Triple H in China thing

Kiara (24:45)
Well, not exactly, because I will say that the reason why I would say not exactly is I would say that Jey and Jaida are not working together on screen. So I think that makes a little different. I think once Stephanie and Triple H was traveling together, they was in the same energy space. Things can transpire, as you said.

Tanesha (24:47)
What?

But he definitely was with China.

So that means y'all are traveling all together.

Kiara (25:10)
They weren't all trapped. Remember she was home with an injury.

Yeah, I know way too much about that. Don't ask.

Tanesha (25:14)
But back then we also, we had a read about these things. And that's when YouTube just started. And that's when I remember when, you know, started things, we were like, oh yeah, give me an OOT. What y'all saying?

Kiara (25:17)
Well didn't find out that she was back at home. Right?

The

dirt sheets were really on something back then. They was old school dirt sheets. Like you had to get the paper and read it together, be on the chat room to find information. I will say I did find that out, but that was through some kind of documentary type situation of covering. And I think that was whoever covered it covered it, right? But what I will say, my take on it is this.

Tanesha (25:30)
Uh-huh. Uh-huh. Uh-huh. Uh-huh.

Kiara (25:50)
I don't know that it helps her to clear it up, if it's what we think it is.

Tanesha (25:56)
Cool.

Kiara (25:56)
Or when I say what we think it is, if it is what it looks like it might be. So if there is some kind of relationship on, if there is some type of relationship happening, Jaida Parker's not gonna benefit from either one of them coming out and saying anything.

Tanesha (26:01)
But who you're saying shouldn't clear it up?

Kiara (26:15)
would say that would make, that would leave her even more open to these home wrecker accusations and the crazy hate that she gets online every time this stuff pops up.

So I'm not sure it would help her to clear it up if it is a relationship and if he is separated but not divorced or you know what mean? Like I think that, like you said, relationships are complicated and the only people who need to understand it are the people in the relationship. But because you are public figures, I do think there is something to be said for discretion.

because you are two, first of all, you're very attractive people, but you're also both very popular people. So people are going to follow you and watch over you and anytime there's friendships, no one can escape the rumors. Remember what was going on with Jey and Rhea or ⁓ Rhea and Damien Priest. Like anytime they see you together.

Tanesha (26:52)
Mmm. Mmm.

It's like, I think y'all together. And you be like.

Kiara (27:14)
Or better

yet, Damien Priest and Lola hanging out in the same place. That looks like actually a relationship, but you know what I'm saying, like...

Tanesha (27:17)
Well, I mean, that was, I don't know. That looks, that looks, that looks, but

even him doing the, Damien Priest was doing those TikToks with, ooh. ⁓

Kiara (27:29)
Kayden. Kayden Chance?

Tanesha (27:30)
Yes,

yes, not Kayden, that's her name's Kayden Chance.

Kiara (27:35)
No, wait, maybe I'm a look it up, but what were you saying?

Tanesha (27:40)
But just like with that, I really thought they were together from all the TikToks they were doing and it seemed like she was in the hell, like, you know, they did a lot of TikToks. It's like, it was like almost two years. I was like, Kaden, Kaden, who is that?

Kiara (27:50)
They did. Caden Carter, I'm sorry. Caden Carter. It was Carter

Chance. That was their two last names.

Tanesha (27:59)
⁓ but yeah.

I'm so sorry. But also I just thought about another person too. Now granted that's a little complex, but may he continue resting in peace, but Mr. Fiend himself and JoJo.

Kiara (28:03)
It's weird. It's weird.

yeah, that was another. Yeah, because his wife at the time came out with a lot of... ⁓

Tanesha (28:25)
things but then of course you find out more stuff later when they did the documentary and you was like girl you made it seem like he was cheating on you.

Kiara (28:28)
Yes.

Well, because I also think there's something to be said for emotion when it comes to relationships. Like, we all talk about that. Like, technically, we might have broke up, but maybe you broke up with me and I haven't accepted it yet. Or, you know what mean? Like, it's a complicated dance. Right. And anytime you have children... Yeah, there's two. But anytime you have children, that is another level. So all I'm saying is, from a PR perspective, what I would advise them to do...

Tanesha (28:44)
Broke a, yeah, uh-huh, uh-huh. Or you're still emotionally attached. Or physically attached.

They should be handling it a lot better.

Kiara (29:04)
is like maybe if you don't want to address it, perhaps don't be seen together.

Tanesha (29:08)
Do what Chris Brown does when he was with Rihanna and they didn't want nobody else to know. One left out the front door, the other one left out the back door. You didn't need to know who was here for who.

Kiara (29:18)
If you are not doing anything wrong.

Tanesha (29:23)
to say that.

Kiara (29:24)
Or if

everybody's in the know of the situation, it couldn't hurt to say something if you feel comfortable doing that. But I also understand that Jey is notoriously private, so he doesn't talk about that. But it did make me start thinking about things. Like, we've seen his son, but only one, not the other one. And then his son was around a lot more. He liked traveling with him. He talked about that a lot. And I was like, that was really wonderful to see.

Tanesha (29:30)
clarify, say something.

Kiara (29:53)
but we didn't see his wife with him, which I thought was interesting when he won the title. But I also know again that they're private people, so it's a little bit of a toss-up. But again, you can't have it both ways. So as the PR person, I'm just going to you. Either. You gotta have it one way or the other. So either you want your private life all private, and you just don't be seen together like that.

and certainly not in a situation where it can be misread. Or you just release a statement and tell people to mind, you know, mind the business that pays them. Mind the business that pays you. So I get it. But it is a story and it's making people curious. And so I thought it was important to at least cover it this one time. Also, ultimately we can admit there's no concrete proof. I think that's the other part there.

Tanesha (30:28)
Respectfully, mind your damn business, respectfully. Okay, respect.

Kiara (30:47)
But I also wonder if all this secrecy can sometimes fuel the interest in a story like this because when it looks like you're hiding something, then people are inevitably trying to find out your business. So there's that. So Jaida, Jey, wish you the best. Do what you do.

Tanesha (31:03)
Yes.

as friendships

should do, as friendships should be.

Kiara (31:15)
I'm like, we wish you the best, hope y'all enjoying life. But just, know, from PR perspective might give you some advice about managing the crazy. All right, enough with the streets are talking.

We got to talk Clash in Paris because we didn't even get time last week to unpack all the things that happened on August 31st, cuz girl. I know a lot has happened since then, but I think we gotta start with the way this show started. With our tribal chief getting beat the hell up on his way out to shoot Street Fighter. But still, that was ⁓ deeply uncomfortable. How did you feel as you were watching that first match of the night?

Were you prepared for the rest of the show after that or were you like me like I am not pleased?

Tanesha (32:07)
I I can tell you my tribal chief did not deserve that shit. They could have respectfully wrote him off or just said he's going to go do something. He's going to Hollywood. You didn't have to write him off like that. Cause that's the only other thing that bothers me the fuck out of two where they'd be like, so yeah, he, you know, they sent him to the hospital. No, he didn't. Stop lying. Jeez. then that-

Kiara (32:27)
Well he definitely

had some kind of medical scene because that was that was rough.

Tanesha (32:35)
Now, this is what I

did not like, and I'm not sure who ideas this was, was for him to have Tsunami'd on the back brace Was that supposed to be helpful? Yes, but it's still the back, was still, cause it was the, yeah. So I'm like, whose idea was that? Was that supposed to be helpful? Was that supposed to be not where he would get hurt or something? But I felt like at one point he just stopped moving. He just was like, and I'm Like I don't, like it was like.

Kiara (32:45)
I'm a stretcher on the, yeah.

It was stiff.

Tanesha (33:04)
how many more tsunamis you want me to take on this thing? For y'all to stop. Cause this is kind of crazy.

Kiara (33:09)
I mean, it reminded me of watching

Bron do the same thing to Seth. I was like, 50-11? No.

Tanesha (33:14)
What's up on a stretcher, though?

Exactly.

Kiara (33:20)
He was not, but he was coughing up blood. So there was that.

Tanesha (33:24)
So that's the other thing too. What is enough is enough, right? What is it enough? But I'm saying, when you know we're doing certain things and I get it, it's entertainment by the same token. What is enough enough? Like you have a man who is well over 350 pounds, okay? I don't know what his true weight is, but I know it's well over 350 pounds. Okay? Leaping off the tap rope.

Kiara (33:29)
no.

Okay, I hear you. Okay.

Tanesha (33:56)
connecting with all his weight on your chest. Not once, not twice, not three times.

Kiara (34:07)
You

50-11 time.

Tanesha (34:08)
I'm just saying, at some point, I felt, I...

I sit here and think about it and I have the image replaying in my head.

Kiara (34:17)
Mm-hmm.

Tanesha (34:17)
Whose idea was it for him to be strapped to the thing? Like, he was defenseless. At one point his arm went and he went to try to, and it was like, what are y'all doing? Were y'all really trying to kill this man before he went away? Were y'all really feeling salty that he sat here and was going away? Like, what kind of nonsense is this? Did he? He did?

Kiara (34:24)
Sorry.

Well Cody got written off similarly, like Drew beat him up.

Drew. I forget you don't have Smackdown right now. Anyway. Sorry. My bad. Sorry. Surprise in case you missed that. Yes. He was similarly hurt. No. No. It was Drew. It was no. It was Drew and he attacked him.

Tanesha (34:43)
He did?

But did he give him like did he give him fucking 50,000 so not okay he gave it 50,000 clayborn

Okay,

then, what did you do that was any different? It's not the same. You getting picked up and thrown into freaking ⁓ stairs that are not really steel. It ain't it.

Kiara (35:05)
It's not the same.

Okay.

Tanesha (35:19)
Yeah, you got banged up a little bit. ⁓ Cody's gonna stay here still work It doesn't matter it doesn't matter it doesn't matter cuz the day the day Cody still was the person who sat here and wrestled Seth Seth Rollins with a fucking tour pectoral thing coming in there fucking black and groove like Come on. Come on Like do I think that they actually probably really injured Roman? I would think so you must have cracked something cuz his ass was gasping for breath. He was like

Kiara (35:24)
You didn't even know, you didn't see it.

Yeah, that was traumatizing.

Tanesha (35:49)
Like you can see his whole chest. It was like, dude. Sorry, I'm leaving.

Kiara (35:52)
Or can we say

our tribal chief is just a wonderful actor and that's... No? We can't say that? We can't?

Tanesha (36:01)
I

love you, but you're not the greatest actor.

I'm sorry. That's okay. Like I love you. But is it really love if I can't be truthful? You are not the greatest.

Kiara (36:03)
I'm not erasing that either. so you know. It's like.

You

Well...

Tanesha (36:12)
You

Kiara (36:14)
The good part was Roman got his shoes back. You know what saying? That was great. That was a good part.

Tanesha (36:18)
just to give him away and then get

speared. He didn't even give the other pairs off. He literally just handed, you got a left shoe, you got a right shoe. Oh, I got the other pairs over here. I guess nobody else is gonna have to get them.

Kiara (36:22)
He got Paul Heyman.

Shout out to the people

in Paris who picked up some shoes. I'm saying. They weren't expecting that.

Tanesha (36:35)
The one shoe.

Cause I would have definitely had both, not sold them, I would have wore them.

Kiara (36:42)
What,

you tackled the other person trying to get the other shoe? Okay.

Tanesha (36:45)
Yep, but that's the whole thing. He didn't even sit

here and give the-

Two different shoes.

Kiara (36:52)
You

You just got you got feelings thoughts and emotions. So, all right,

Kiara (37:00)
Okay, so we can agree that Roman, I mean, you feel like it was overkill. You have some special commentary on his acting skills. I mean, I'm not sure he would agree, but I feel you, I feel you. You know what saying? I feel you.

Tanesha (37:09)
I did, I did, I still feel the same way.

No, They

are getting him because of who he is, what they're hoping is going to bring. Okay? I don't know what that Amazon thing was, okay? Where he went. But they played the role for him correctly. It was just, yeah.

Kiara (37:33)
the Amazon movie, whatever it is, it was not

a great movie. It was not great. But I did watch it because he was in it.

Tanesha (37:40)
But they...

Right. But even for that clip, I didn't watch it. I watched the clip. Because I knew there was no point. Exactly. And he played the role that he needs to play.

Kiara (37:48)
That was all he was in there for. He wasn't in there for.

Mm-hmm. Mm-hmm. Fair. That's fair. Well, alright, let's talk Seth Rollins, CM Punk, LA Knight, and Jey Uso's world title, Fatal Four Way, because that one Now, I ain't gonna lie, I like this match. This was a really good match, and I...

Tanesha (37:55)
But, either way.

Mm-hmm.

Kiara (38:13)
It was fun watching everybody turn against Seth at the beginning, even though, you know, I'm Team Seth all the way. And we just knew a fourth member of his group was debuting. Like, that was what everybody was saying. I can't remember what we predicted, but if you're wondering, y'all can check out the blog.

It's definitely on our website. You can see our predictions. But I don't remember what they are off top of hand. So I'm pretty sure we picked, both of us picked Seth Rollins. So just like we were right about Roman, because both of us picked Roman. I don't think any of us foresaw him getting his behind handed to him. But you know, we do what we can. We obviously can't, we don't got the pin. But the, I mean, the most shocking moment in this entire match was clearly when Becky Lynch turned out to be the fourth member of The Vision.

stable. Which is now currently without Paul Heyman due to his injury from Roman Reigns in the first match of the evening. So I feel things have kind of gone off rails.

Tanesha (39:02)
Mm-hmm. Mm-hmm.

I mean, Paul,

I don't know why Paul didn't think that was gonna happen.

Kiara (39:17)
either. But maybe he was getting a vacation too. Maybe he's gonna go and handle Roman and Hollywood. don't

Tanesha (39:19)
Like I don't like.

Not how he handed his ass to him and told him to shut the fuck up. I'm just saying.

Kiara (39:32)
You know, business is business, not personal. It's not personal. So it's entirely possible that he was like, hey, you know what saying? Come help me out my guy. I don't know, but it was really good. So what do you think about Becky being the fourth man? ⁓

Tanesha (39:34)
That's true, that's that's that's true.

I mean it was interesting. ⁓ I'm not gonna say, well I guess I'm not gonna say I was surprised I watched it. ooh, excuse me. ⁓

her coming out and I mean I knew cuz this is what I did say was I knew he was gonna screw him over somehow cuz he was gonna make sure that Sandpunk wasn't going with.

Kiara (40:10)
Mm-hmm.

Well, yeah, we talked about that. Anything but that. Anything.

Tanesha (40:19)
It wasn't, yeah, right.

Like, I mean, like, he probably could have LA Knight win, but it was CM Punk, there was no way. And then technically, rightfully slow, they had the right to throw the bronze out, because they did too much.

Kiara (40:35)
Absolutely,

they did. They did. They did do a lot. But I was looking forward to Roman walking Jay down, but that clearly didn't happen.

Tanesha (40:39)
and

I mean, I ain't gonna lie, that kinda hurt too, cause I was like, why tell us that he's gonna walk him down just for you to take his ass out? That was stupid.

Kiara (40:50)
I feel like it was

a misdirection because I clearly thought, ⁓ Roman's going to get got in the last match, obviously, right? But no, I was wrong. I was wrong.

Tanesha (41:01)
Mm-hmm. Mm-hmm.

I think they went on script. I don't think he was supposed to get happened at that time or they didn't tell them that they needed to change or whatever. don't know.

Kiara (41:11)
I think it was a misdirection. I think they intentionally told us they fed us misinformation to trick us because we're also internet smart these days.

Tanesha (41:21)
Yeah, I guess so,

Kiara (41:22)
I feel like they kind of got it. But it was, mean like, I will tell you, I thought it was the coolest thing that Becky was the fourth person because I feel like a lot of these staples do not get, I think I said this before, we needed a woman, at least one.

Tanesha (41:36)
Did we? You said that before?

Kiara (41:37)
I think I said this before.

If I didn't say it, it was definitely in my head. I feel like I did though. Because every stable needs a woman. And I was like, this was what my issue was with the bloodline initially. Like, how are you going to take over when there's nobody to take over the women title? And now there's multiple women titles. So you need more than one. So if you want to be a tag team, like there's the ability to take over the entire company now where...

Tanesha (41:41)
⁓

Mmmmm

Mm-hmm, mm-hmm, mm-hmm.

Kiara (42:02)
before we really didn't have that possibility, right? Like it was like one women's champion, you know, it wasn't really possible to have all of the gold, right? But now you could potentially. And so I'm excited to see her in a staple. I'm excited to see her with her husband. I wonder if this could have been an opportunity again for Karrion and Scarlett. So I really feel like that was again something that just dropped the ball because that would have been.

Tanesha (42:13)
you

you

Kiara (42:29)
another couple to go against them but now knowing what we know now with the AJ Leeds of it all, I kind of get it. Though I still think they would have been a great addition but that's just me having thoughts and feelings. But ultimately I thought, I mean, it was cool. It was cool that it was Becky and she's really stepped up her in-your-faceness. It's a good compliment to Seth. I like seeing them on screen being heels together. So...

I don't hate it. I knew Seth wasn't gonna lose, but it was a fun way to see him win, especially because now Becky got in the way and started with CM Punk and we saw where that led us, right? So, not too bad. So what about John Cena and Logan Paul?

Tanesha (43:18)
going to say I'm very surprised with that match. I'm very surprised with Logan Paul. I mean first off, let me just cuz I don't like him he's very athletic he's very ⁓ entertaining.

Kiara (43:21)
Okay, what were you surprised about?

Mm-hmm.

Mm-hmm.

Tanesha (43:35)
He did pull some things out that I've never, I never seen him do. And I think him and, excuse me, him and John was actually a good, they meshed together.

Kiara (43:49)
Mm-hmm.

Tanesha (43:51)
I'm so sorry. They mushed together and it just they I know I'm sorry. I'm sorry

Kiara (43:54)
Stop yawning, I'm gonna be yawning in a minute.

Tanesha (44:02)
What was I saying? ⁓ that they, they mesh well together. But also I, I just saw a lot of, like John pulled out a lot for Logan Paul. Like he pulled out the Logan Paul that was trying to play safe or stuff like that. So I really, I was really entertained at that match. I actually stood there and watched it. didn't like walk around. No.

Kiara (44:03)
that they mesh well together.

Mm-hmm.

You didn't? You usually

don't watch, ⁓ No?

Tanesha (44:32)
Logan, I know,

but I did. My, I will tell you when my kids came and they was like, Logan, Paul, and they, I was like, ooh. They were not pleased that he was on that screen. He was like, ugh, we don't want him on there. And that's just because they're like, he's a YouTuber, he's not supposed to be wrestling. So, like they said, the Malva Babes.

Kiara (44:39)
you

was crazy.

It was like, he's not supposed to be wrestling.

Okay.

Tanesha (44:59)
Listen, the mouth of

babes, let me tell you, that's the old time saying, the mouth of babes comes some smartness and some truth to that statement. ⁓ But yeah, but overall, mean, overall, we definitely knew John was gonna win, and he did, but it was definitely, it definitely was good, it was very good. I think it was a really good match for him to have in Paris, for sure, as his last one there.

Kiara (45:02)
You

No she didn't.

He did.

I

I agree. I also, I will tell you the other thing. I, as much as I do not like Logan Paul, I was so impressed by this match. And you can't deny that at the end of the day, he is just a phenomenal athlete. ⁓ That was not something that you could pretend you didn't see after this. That was non-negotiable. So I felt like it validated the situation and it was fun as hell.

Tanesha (45:45)
Mm-hmm.

Mm-hmm. Mm-hmm.

Kiara (45:54)
So I didn't leave either.

I mean, I don't typically leave anyway. That's not my thing. But, you know, sometimes I fall asleep, but I definitely didn't. I was like, my god, this is so good. And it made me eat my words a little bit. I know I said I was the least bit excited about this, but it was fantastic. And Logan Paul brings it every time he comes. Now, he ain't gonna never be my favorite wrestler, but I can admit that he's quite talented, for sure. For sure. All right, Becky and Nikki Bella.

Tanesha (46:16)
Mm-hmm.

Mm-hmm.

Kiara (46:24)
Yeah, I'll let you go first.

Tanesha (46:33)
I'm hoping.

that now, Becky, you are about to fight AJ, then I'm gonna see a little bit more.

Hmm, what's the word? There's a lot of words here. ⁓ I know. Becky, I hope you don't let me know where they're supposed to hit you. Where, when they actually make you go from back to back, that you, you looked, you look crazy. You didn't look like the Becky Lynch that wasn't selling. Like you look like you're overselling.

Kiara (46:50)
I ain't gonna help.

Tanesha (47:16)
Why? I'm not quite sure. I don't know how we can fix that for you, because that's crazy. Now, that one kick that we all know that happened, that did not connect, and that Becky still made it seem like it connected. Ma'am, we saw it. It didn't hit you. So I don't know what you were selling, but it didn't even touch you. It wasn't even close. She was far away. She literally kicked the air.

You know what that reminds me of? My kids pretending to be superheroes and was like, hi-yah! ⁓

Kiara (47:49)
No.

That's crazy. That's

crazy. Okay. It reminds you of your kids being superheroes.

Tanesha (48:00)
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.

I'm just saying that I think that's something that Mateo does with his mama, pretending that she actually hurt. We wrestle.

But Becky, stop. Stop overselling shit that we know it ain't. Stop. Please go back. No, because this is not even acting. You were real like, like, you know what it is? It seems like now that she's a mom, that this is the things that she do with her kid. Like, yeah, oh my God. Ah, you hurt me. Ma'am, I need the Becky Lynch before she was a mom. That's what I need. Where I can sit here and see that person and they knew how to hit.

take a hit and mind their business.

Kiara (48:48)
Well, her

interactions with AJ have been solid. She definitely had that black eye on Monday.

Tanesha (48:52)
That's what I'm saying.

Now listen, at first I definitely wanted to zoom in. I paused it, said, let me make sure this is not makeup. And you actually got jacked up. Because like I said, when we had this conversation, I know we're gonna get there, but AJ was hitting you for real. AJ had your hand, she was acting like, but it was not connected. She definitely was hitting you full throttle.

with just the hand to pretend that she was hitting her hand and that's not what was happening because we saw, I saw it straight to the, and you couldn't escape that. It did, it did, but you couldn't escape that.

Kiara (49:30)
I mean, it works based on the energy of the moment.

No.

Tanesha (49:39)
So hopefully this is the Becky before she had the baby before she had

Kiara (49:43)
Well, I don't want to put it all on Becky because I definitely think it's a two-person dance, right? And so...

Tanesha (49:48)
Mmm.

You have marks. You knew she was about to kick you. Why were you far away?

Kiara (49:57)
Listen, I think it's a two-person dance and I'm just thinking I thought initially I Know but I also thought like listen. It's a two-person dance is what I'm telling you So somebody must not have communicated something Okay, maybe they didn't have adequate time to prepare. I don't know. I don't know but I'm gonna give them

Tanesha (50:03)
They talked to each other throughout the match.

they definitely needed to practice

that match one more time. Cause that definitely was a one through when we were like, all right, I gotta go.

Kiara (50:25)
going to give them

both the benefit of the doubt. And I'm going to say, let's not happen again, ladies. Needs improvement. Let's not let that happen again. But I thought Nikki did pretty good up until that moment, you know? A little ring rust, but it was okay. I mean, I think she's done better since. I'm eager to see how this plays out with her and the Iyos of it all and the Asukas

I don't remember who we picked here. See, the thing is we both picked John Cena. Nobody picked Logan Paul. For Becky and Nikki though, I know I picked Becky, as I always did.

Tanesha (51:01)
We were, and

I think I, no, and I think I probably picked Becky. I probably said I wanted Nikki to win, but I also knew Becky was gonna do something stupid they went.

Kiara (51:08)
Well, again,

this is our opportunity to plug that blog. We can find out who said what.

Tanesha (51:12)
Not

Kiara (51:15)
on our predictions. Alright, and let's talk this thing that I'ma spend probably the majority of this time on. The Wyatt Sicks and the Street Profits. Now, I have thoughts about this, and I'm gonna start with these thoughts about what the hell's going on with Montez and Dawkins. The time to break them up was the first time we did this. The first time we went through the I don't like you, you didn't hold up your...

deal of the bargain, but y'all got over that and y'all got back together.

And now, now you wanna break up?

It's been nine years, so thanks for reminding all of us WWE. But I'm not, I don't think I'm ready. I am not ready for them to break up yet. I am actually kind of annoyed at this turn of events because I felt like we were already hot for a Montez run a few years back.

And so now I'm like, I mean, I'm worried that he's gonna get lost in the sauce. Like the Carmelo Hayes of it all. Don't get me started. Because me and Carmelo, love you so much. And I hate that you're in this Ms. Nonsense. And I wish that they would have you closer to the Intercontinental or the US Championship where you deserve to be.

Tanesha (52:44)
Mm-hmm.

Kiara (52:45)
because this is

ridiculous. They started out the year with you all hot, ready for Andre the Giant situation. You know, I won the battle royal. And now they got you in grays in this nonsense with The Miz. Now I like The Miz.

But, Ms. Don't Miss, like what? What?

No! No, no, no, no, no. I just think that there is more opportunities to put him with the Jacob Fatus and the Sami Zanes and that of it all. Like, why are we stuck here in this, like, abyss of confusion? So I just wish Triple H would do better by Carmelo Hayes. I didn't get the opportunity to hang with Humble Roses when we were giving him his flowers, but I want to be clear that I 100 % love

Carmelo and do not appreciate the situation in which they have him in. Now back to the Street Profit situation. I am concerned that Montez is going to get lost in the smackdown, obis of the Abyssinian, where the Wyatt Six have resided. Because this, this, this tag team run is not working. It's not working. And I am seriously considering

Tanesha (53:39)
Mm-hmm. Mm-hmm.

Mmm. Mmm.

Kiara (54:00)
I don't know what, but I don't like it. I don't like it. It's not like I'm gonna stop watching it. What? I don't know. I don't like it. I don't like this. I don't get it.

Tanesha (54:05)
you

She's

like, I'm seriously considering. And I was like, okay, Anne. And she's like, nah, I don't know.

Kiara (54:13)
Yeah, I don't know what.

Nothing. I

don't got nothing. I'm sorry. Because it's not like, again, it's not like I would stop watching, but I don't love it. It makes SmackDown less watchable. So I was gonna say, I think that contributes to the ratings issues they were having before, of course, AJ Lee came with his superhero cape on. Because that's crazy. Y'all went from the hottest division period to what the?

Tanesha (54:27)
Mm.

Mm-hmm.

Kiara (54:44)
What's happening? I mean, they were hot. White hot. Then they, suddenly we got Fraxiom losing. We got like, I'm like, what's happening? What's happening? And then I still don't get what the hell's going on with the YS6 anyway. Like, it's a brawl every time you put everybody together. Can we actually have a match with Nikki Cross now? And her fighting either BFab or Candice? Can we pull a trigger on something actually happening there? Okay, I'm done because...

Tanesha (54:49)
Yeah, they shouldn't. Yeah.

Kiara (55:12)
I just didn't like the fact they had this amazing match only for the Wyatt Six to continue to keep the damn bets. I ain't happy about it. I ain't happy.

Tanesha (55:21)
No, I mean I feel the same. feel like, you know, the match was actually, I mean it was good match. I'm not gonna say it wasn't a good match. ⁓ I don't like, I, absolutely, absolutely, absolutely. But.

Kiara (55:30)
Of course it is, because the street profits aren't it. Killing it.

Tanesha (55:38)
Like you said, I don't really know where they're going for.

Like I said earlier, them trying to break them up, it just seems really redundant right now. And I get it, all teams sometimes have to break up, some teams don't get together. But you could also keep them together and give Montez his own run. You could also still keep them together, give Don and Dawkins give him his own run. You could definitely do those things.

Kiara (56:04)
without it turning

into the Shawn Michaels and Marty Gennetti of it all, right?

Tanesha (56:07)
Correct,

correct, correct, correct. So hopefully we see better. Hopefully the writing team will get their lives together.

But if they don't, then, I mean, like you said, it's not like we're gonna start watching. It's just...

Kiara (56:20)
Here we are. I have no

recourse to be upset.

Tanesha (56:26)
Like it's not like this is Naomi. Granted, you know what? We should, maybe we should riot. You know what? Maybe we should. I mean, because at the end of the day, the street profits are not getting their due respectfully and they should never got the titles taken off of them that quickly. ⁓ And that's nobody's fault to be truthful. ⁓ his promo definitely should have been on there.

Kiara (56:30)
Maybe we could riot, you know what

No.

No.

And Montez's work, by the way, his promos?

my god. I was like, now if you're going to tell the story of their breakup, can we bring that energy into the TV time? Because Clear List is probably something that's happening on his dime and his energy, because I think it said like directed and written and produced by Montez, right? So hello? If you're going to tell this story, then you need to tell the story in a better way.

Tanesha (56:57)
Yeah.

Kiara (57:13)
Because it also feels lackluster. It feels like we're headed right towards that Austin Theory-Grayson breakup that happened off camera. Like, are we on a soap opera? Is that what we do now? Where we just have all these things happen off camera? Yeah, but they are not supposed to happen off camera. This is wrestling. You can't just... How do you do this off camera? You don't break up a team off camera! It's anticlimactic, especially for a team that's been together for nine years.

Tanesha (57:26)
mean, well, technically, yeah.

Kiara (57:42)
Like you need to start planting the seeds of this mental breakdown that Montez is having that is quite similar to Bailey's, now that I think about it.

But either way, like, hello here. People, what is, what are you people doing? What are we wasting our energy on? This is why they need another show. That's why. That's why I think they need another show. Wrestling midweek, whatever we want to do, I say we bring that back. Maybe we riot with signs that says wrestling midweek needed. What do you think?

Tanesha (57:57)
Mm-hmm.

Mm-hmm.

What about what? The wrestling? About the promos? The midwit? I mean, well we talked about this. I'm saying, well we talked about this. They can definitely put something else in, maybe not midweek, because you wanna know something, I ain't gonna lie. I also feel like we're getting exhausted, but we're also getting, but I feel like we're also getting too much? Too much wrestling.

Kiara (58:23)
midweek.

We need more TV time.

It needs to be like on a Sunday.

But it's not enough.

Tanesha (58:49)
It's clearly it's not because I keep taking away the time for the shows that actually had it. So like us sitting here next week, ⁓ is gonna come an hour earlier. But you took a whole hour away. me having the hour earlier, am I gonna get an hour later? Or no, right. They keep shortening the shows for what though? Versus.

Kiara (58:59)
A seven, ⁓

No. That thing gonna be over by nine o'clock.

Tanesha (59:15)
having it three hours so you can actually properly storytell. Something's not adding up. Something either happened. Yes, Ro was over, listen, Ro was over at 11.05.

Kiara (59:19)
I don't know. Raw did used to be three hours, right? That was like the thing.

That's right. I remember that. I just don't feel, I feel like, I don't know how hard it is to write a three hour show versus a two hour show, but I definitely think we're missing pieces of the story and not everybody is social media savvy. And then I feel like as fans, they talk crap about us because we do spend so much time on social media, but then the only way to get the full story is on social media. You know I'm saying? It's like ridiculous. It's redundant. It's a little annoying to me.

And like I said, I'm just not happy about, especially Montell is taking the pin for that match. anyway, there was another match that we didn't talk about, which was the Rusev and Sheamus match. But I'm gonna tell you why I didn't talk about it.

Tanesha (1:00:13)
because it's not gonna be over between them.

Kiara (1:00:13)
I'm not invested in it.

It's fun to watch, but like, I don't feel emotionally tied to it. I don't feel like. I'm like, was fun to watch it be crazy. I was like, ooh, ooh, this is fun, this is fun. But like I told you.

It was fun, but it certainly didn't rise to the level of the AEW Forbidden Door stuff that I saw the week before. And I felt like I had less, like, connection to it, but I enjoyed it a little bit more. Now, I'm not sure why right now. I'm still trying to work through the specifications of how that happened and why my feelings are the way they are. But I will tell you, Rusev and Seamus, I don't know what it is. I usually love Seamus matches all the time.

The Donnie book match, I never really liked matches like that anyway, that are little weird. I think you told me once he went through the box you dipped. don't know. Like, it just wasn't... It wasn't something. It lacks something, and maybe I think it lacked the real story. Like, you just don't like each other. Like, I think we talked about this before, you just don't like each other just because. Cool. That can be a story point. But there needs to be more to the story than random...

Tanesha (1:01:13)
I was done.

Kiara (1:01:33)
matches on Raw that I also don't.

I don't know. They need something to spice this up. Maybe they need Alana, like I said, they need something to spice up this particular storyline. And funny enough, his character in AEW, Rusev's, the Redeemer, now that was compelling. So I don't know. I don't know what's happening. I don't know. I just think maybe their characters don't match either. They just, it just doesn't tell the story the way it should have. But I don't know. I am on the struggle bus with these two. The match was good.

Tanesha (1:01:41)
I don't know.

Do you think that's what it is?

Kiara (1:02:09)
But like, like I said, I wasn't drawn. I didn't want to watch it again. I didn't, I was like, whatever. Once he went through the box, I think I looked at my nails. I think I might've been playing the Sims. Like I think actually during that match I had press play. I'm playing the Sims. Cause I was like, I mean, cool, cool, but I'm not engaged. But I can say that I watched the entire rest of the PLE though. Like that was the only match that I was like, I'm a.

Tanesha (1:02:38)
I mean I did the same thing I think too.

Kiara (1:02:40)
But I just don't know why. just don't, I don't know if it's just not, there's something that's just not working for me with them. And I think it's because I'm not really emotionally invested in the story. And I think that there needs to be, I think you need to dive into the story a little deeper, or maybe the way it was presented is not clicking.

Tanesha (1:02:59)
like you didn't

give a real background history for why they go in at it every 10 seconds.

Kiara (1:03:04)
No, other than Rusev was a bully and Seamus stepped in. But I also feel like we've heard this story before with Seamus. So maybe it just doesn't feel... I feel like Seamus does that a lot. When people bully, he steps in. But remember Seamus and Pete done. Now that was a compelling little war. Like I watched that thing. I was like, y'all are fun to watch. But I don't know what it is. I...

I don't know, maybe out there y'all can tell me what I might be missing here because I just am not as interested in it. But overall, I thought this audience was hot as all get out. They were so excited.

Tanesha (1:03:41)
Listen,

they were singing, ⁓ we didn't talk about AJ.

Kiara (1:03:48)
Did I miss another match?

Tanesha (1:03:50)
Didn't they sing to him?

Wait, no. What? No, didn't they sing to him? Or was that on SmackDown? ⁓ Jesus Christ. Okay. No, really?

Kiara (1:03:53)
No! This is...that was on Smackdown, babe. I was like, he was not on Clash

in Paris. No, that was not Clash in Paris, honey.

Tanesha (1:04:05)
Cause they literally sung to him. Cause, that, yeah. Cause they was like, we came back and yes, they're still singing. And I said, God damn.

Kiara (1:04:13)
Yep. I was going say they were still in, they were still in think Paris for the next event so that would have been wrong. You got me messed up. I'm sitting here like wait.

Tanesha (1:04:17)
Alright, so that was raw, my bad. Damn.

I'm

sitting here going no, cuz I that's the thing that stood in my head cuz they kept fucking singing to him and I didn't know what the fuck they were singing I was like, what are y'all singing? Damn, I don't know what words y'all saying. What are you saying? And I'm not trying to nothing disrespectful, but it's just like what was that?

Kiara (1:04:37)
I don't know.

It's cause we couldn't

understand it at home. That's the problem. I was like, I had ⁓ the ⁓ subtitles on and they were like French. I was like, seriously? I just wanted to know what they were saying. I failed. I failed. But I do think, I think that crowd was hype from top to bottom and they were hype on Raw too, so that was cool.

Kiara (1:05:09)
Okay, so let's talk smackdown, right? I mean...

We can't say anything without talking about AJ Lee's return. mean, like, I know we've been talking about that a lot today. Like I said, you might want to make a drinking game out of this episode, but like her, everything about her return was just cinema. You know what I mean? Like you knew it had to happen, but it was just magic. was incredible just to see her come down to the ring and to see

the reactions of Seth and Becky who are doing the King's work, okay? Because the way that they look like fools was epic. Like, it was so good. And I know we talked a little bit about this earlier, but I loved it. I loved every bit of it. And then that continued on Raw, which we'll talk a little bit more about. And she said nothing. Can you believe that?

Tanesha (1:06:12)
Yeah, she didn't say anything. It was just her presence.

Kiara (1:06:14)
It was like, right!

That was incredible. I just was like, for someone who did not have such a, you know, strong attachment to AJ Lee, like it definitely was a great way to be introduced and curious about her. So I loved everything about that. But then we're going to talk about something else that I don't know. It has mixed reviews, the Brock Lesnar of it all. But, you know, he comes back, he attacks Cena.

Tanesha (1:06:36)
Okay. Okay.

Kiara (1:06:42)
What'd think? What'd you think about?

Tanesha (1:06:44)
I mean, I knew that was gonna happen. think from when the last time when they brought Brock back. And I'm not sure, cause was it, is the match supposed to be at Russell Palooza? So, so I mean, I expected him to, so I'm not surprised that he came out and he decided to do it. F5.

Kiara (1:06:50)
Right?

Yes, I believe the matches at Wrestlepalooza.

Tanesha (1:07:09)
John Cena and then also it is a night shift guys, and it's been a long day, but it's okay And then I expected me to also attack Sammy I didn't expect him to let Sammy leave unscathed Yeah, I'm like I'm like so I mean So I don't really feel any type of way about him being back to just make sense for the fact that Like I said in our previous episode when he came back that

Kiara (1:07:09)
Night shift again.

Well, Brock never lets anybody leave on skates. You know what mean?

Tanesha (1:07:38)
They're trying to, it seemed like John is trying to find the right people that is going to draw people in to make his last match, whatever that last match is on that particular day, epic. And I feel like he's been keep raising the bar. Each match that he's doing, he's been increasing the bar. It's getting better, you know, especially since he got over the hill stuff. So the heel stuff.

Kiara (1:07:44)
Mm-hmm.

Right.

Okay.

that was not working.

Tanesha (1:08:09)
That exactly wasn't working. But like I said, still, his matches have been elevating and keep getting better and better and better. So I can't wait to see what is more in store and if Brock is gonna show up tomorrow or not.

Kiara (1:08:21)
with this whole situation.

I do have a prediction, we'll talk a little bit about that at the end, but I definitely think he shows up tomorrow.

I don't know, I'm...

Tanesha (1:08:31)
Mm, mm-hmm.

Kiara (1:08:34)
You know, I keep saying this, I don't know. I'm not ambivalent to Brock because every time he comes back, it's a huge big deal. I know all this controversy. I'm wondering if that takes away from it a little bit or if like this lack of speaking about it makes anything easier or more complicated depending on who you talk to. I'm just interested to see how like the Internet wrestling community is going to respond to this continued situation, because remember he came and then

didn't see him again for a minute. And so now I'm wondering like is this going to be the same thing? Is he going to be there on with some frequency as we lead up to Wrestlepalooza or is this going to just be some drop-in type of thing? In which case I don't think you can build a match like this by dropping it. I just don't think so.

Tanesha (1:09:06)
Mm-hmm. Mm-hmm.

right.

Kiara (1:09:25)
Are we gonna keep like holding on to the past between Cena and Brock and let that build? Because I... And then you gotta remember, Cena has specific dates too. So I'm like... You need to kind of be there with some frequency until Russell Pelusa, it's only in like two weeks anyway, like... He needs to be at every Smackdown till then. Or in this case, you know, they like to switch it up.

Tanesha (1:09:47)
bounce

for me.

Kiara (1:09:50)
We have one roster that makes its way to any show they want to, you know, and here we are, which I have a complaint about.

Tanesha (1:09:57)
No, it would be funny if he shows up to NXT

just to knock somebody. Yo, that was-

Kiara (1:10:02)
I

I could see that happening considering, I mean, everybody else came to NXT this week.

Tanesha (1:10:07)
just said like either he could do trick. Yeah, I'm like he can do trick.

He can sit here and do a family. can be like.

Kiara (1:10:15)
Oba Femi?

nah, I don't want him touching Oba Femi. No, not for Oba. I won't have it. I don't think so. I will riot this time. This time I riot over Oba Femi. I'ma do it. I'ma do it. But yeah, I mean, like, he left everybody laid out. It feels like we just laying out people a lot lately. The Codys of it all, the Romans of it all. We just lay people out.

Tanesha (1:10:18)
no.

Not the riot, okay, okay, okay.

I mean sometimes people gotta get laid out.

Kiara (1:10:45)
live your life, you know? Come back to work, get your ass beat, you know? Sounds good. Yay. Doesn't that make you want to show up at work? It doesn't make me want to show up at work. Just saying. All right. All right. But then I want to spend a little time on this Giulia and Michin situation.

We haven't really spent any time talking about this since the Kiana's return as the mouthpiece. And then we had her little weird interaction with Tiff-Tiff talking. We don't see that much. Talking about how, you know, you need protection. Because. Of course, the champion is a heel slash face, depending on what audience he's in front of and needs protection.

from Giulia And Kiana Like, woo! Anyway, but.

Tanesha (1:11:46)
I'm shaking in my boots. ⁓

Kiara (1:11:47)
I mean, it's a little like...

I mean, can you blame me? Like, think about it. I'm like, Giulia and Kiara and Tiff Tiff. Like, I might give Tiffany the edge, you know? She don't play fair. She probably got some, you know, expensive ass weapon in her boots, in her shoe, her purse. She said, we don't know. But anyway, back to this situation.

Tanesha (1:11:53)
You

and not some expensive ass, you know what, I'm done.

Kiara (1:12:18)
I got me all the way off.

Tanesha (1:12:18)
She like,

I don't need nothing from y'all. I got it in my boot. There's a snake in my boot.

Kiara (1:12:28)
point is, listen.

Tanesha (1:12:29)
it

Kiara (1:12:32)
little disappointed. I knew that this was probably not going to happen with Michin and Giulia, but I was really hoping that they would have given her more juice to overtake Giulia because remember she had that rivalry back and forth with Chelsea for god knows like how long. So I was really hoping like this was her moment, but I also don't know how I feel about Giulia being a United States champion win again like

Tanesha (1:12:38)
Mmm.

Mm-hmm.

Mm-mm, mm-mm. What you about to say?

Uh-huh, don't do it. I was like, let me, uh-uh. Oh, okay.

Kiara (1:13:11)
No, no, I don't know what you thought I was gonna say, but what I was gonna say, I

don't know how I feel about her being United States champion. Because remember I told you her NXT run was pretty short. It's not like a Stephanie situation. I know you was going somewhere else, wasn't you? Yeah, nah. You tired and when you tired to go a little left. So no, no, we were not talking about nationality or countries, okay? Yeah, I already knew. Welcome to that twin magic. I already knew.

Tanesha (1:13:21)
Okay, okay.

I was, I was, that's how I was like, rrr, or like, rrr.

Kiara (1:13:39)
But that's not what I'm talking about. I, Kiara, am talking about the fact that Giulia, has she been built up enough to be anybody's champion?

So I think we need to examine this a little bit because I feel like Mi-Chin, we've been hanging with her. We know her story. We've been there with her. They threw her into this B-Fab in and out of that situation quickly. But I feel like we've been rolling with her for a while. So she has a story. Now, Giulia, why we got Kiana again? When did you two meet?

I'm pretty sure Kiana left NXT before Giulia showed up. Did y'all have coffee together? What was the backstory that Giulia is like? Giulia does not play nice with others as we saw with Roxanne. So why would magically Kiana descends from the heaven and now Giulia is like, yes, yes, represent me, almighty businesswoman.

Tanesha (1:14:19)
Yo.

Like

yes, I need someone here. I don't know. Well, where's Zelina Where's Zelina at?

Kiara (1:14:44)
This whole thing is confusing and convoluted. Fix it.

Excellent question.

Because that is her title.

Tanesha (1:14:51)
She only went for the

title once and that was it? Like, did she ever do her rematch? Yeah, she did. And she lost. Yeah, but I'm saying, but still. Like, she only gets one shot?

Kiara (1:14:58)
She did it, she lost.

Did they have a promo?

I was gonna say, did they have a promo? I need Zelina to go be bad. She don't need to be good. Like, she need to be a heel, not a baby face. She does her best work when she's tearing somebody up. Can you see her tearing Kiana down on the microphone? Like, that's gonna make me wanna cry. You know what saying? I could just... She gonna bring that energy. And I just think, or maybe put her with her husband, Alistair Black.

Tanesha (1:15:08)
Listen.

Listen, that's that queen, ⁓

Or put BFab

out, like I know she's trying to manage street paw figs, but they were, like, mentioned shouldn't be by herself, ultimately.

Kiara (1:15:35)
But why, that's the other question. Why is she

trying to, okay, if the street profits are splitting, where does that leave BFab?

Tanesha (1:15:45)
Who has custody of VPEP?

Does she go to Montez? Or does she go to Donkings?

Kiara (1:15:56)
want her to,

she might as well stay with Dawkins. Bianca's on her way back.

Tanesha (1:16:02)
Are we sure?

Kiara (1:16:04)
Uh-uh. You know, I'm gonna pretend I know the answer to that question.

Tanesha (1:16:07)
I Mean I guess since we're have

you know The husband and wives duos yeah, I can see I can see Bianca in my eyes and they will destroy things I'm not even Yeah, oh

Kiara (1:16:12)
You know what saying? We have husband-wife teams right now.

Well, we, I mean, but think about it. We got Alistair, it's Zelina, we could put y'all together.

They would be an awesome duo. So I'm like, I could see this. I could see some of that energy. Also, since they have this tradition of taking Spanish speakers down to AAA, why we ain't seen Zelina down there?

Tanesha (1:16:38)
You know what? You know what? Yeah, that's a good question.

Kiara (1:16:42)
Why not?

So I think there's, listen, since we're not getting more TV time, there's opportunities for people to go across brands. So I would like to see a Zelina in one of the AAA opportunities. They had Alola there and she's newish.

Which reminds me to come back to her when I'm in NXT section.

Tanesha (1:17:06)
Uh oh. Well, yes, I

mean, I did see something about her, Mr. Iguana and Miss Ivy. At least I got that. I was like, ooh. And Miss Ivy was giving Mr. Iguana the business. He was like. I was like, you know what? I ain't even mad. Because Lola, she was like, technically you weren't there when I was in the match with him. Where were you?

Kiara (1:17:15)
Yes.

Look at you!

Tanesha (1:17:36)
And you know, listen, I don't know. That is drama brewing.

Kiara (1:17:43)
Yeah. All right, so let's move on to Raw because, I mean, that was another novella. Bloodline 45. That's true. Like, we on Bloodline, what is it, episode 265? Like, we have moved on because now we're back to the the Usos, which I am going to say I am very excited about.

Tanesha (1:17:48)
I I think we covered.

When is Raw not a, when is Raw not a novella?

Kiara (1:18:12)
However, I do feel like they might be at odds at some point and I don't want that to happen. I'm like, don't put them in the same vicinity to break them up. Don't do that. Don't do that. But I do have, I have some gripes here about this. Now, you already know, I love the Usos. But do I think that they gave Jimmy his fair chance to like secure some gold? No.

Tanesha (1:18:38)
No, no, they didn't. They definitely didn't do that with Jey. ⁓ I mean, with Jimmy. And I'm not quite sure why or was it the point that he was supposed to seem like he was lost? And now he is found with his brother. I don't know. Because I definitely was, I definitely felt like he had something with Jacob. That definitely could have been something. ⁓ Right, that's what I'm saying.

Kiara (1:19:02)
And then they took the belt off Jacob. I'm saying, they

took it off Jacob and then they took it off Solo, so all of that was like negated. Cause now it's with Sammy.

Tanesha (1:19:12)
But technically Sammy is the honorary use. could, I mean, I was watching, like Sammy and Jacob and Jimmy, that could have been a little, they didn't have to be called the bloodline, but it could have been something. That could have been a cute little fraction going on there. You got the wild card who's trying to be the peacemaker, Mr. ⁓ Sammy Zane. Then you got the werewolf, just being the werewolf. And then you got Big Jim in between comic.

Kiara (1:19:18)
Yes, he is.

That would be crazy. That would be crazy.

Tanesha (1:19:42)
zone in whipping some ass

Kiara (1:19:46)
⁓ okay. Comedy and ass-whippin'. Alright, nice combination. I hate it. I love them together. I'm happy that I think that they're back together. I'm like tentatively not sure if I should lean into that yet.

Tanesha (1:19:51)
I mean,

To be honest, I don't know, after

that last thing what happened with them, I don't know either. Are they just trying to break up everybody? Like we bring you back together just to break you up? Like we just can't be happy.

Kiara (1:20:06)
You can't be happy in the WWE.

You can't be happy. You can't be with family. You just can't win. No.

Tanesha (1:20:15)
You can't help people because if help people they'll be

like, man, you betraying me? How?

Kiara (1:20:20)
Let's

take a moment to pour one out for LA night. Be cut.

the way that I was hollered.

Tanesha (1:20:29)
I had no idea

what you were about to say. I was like, wait, take a vote for what? Wait.

Kiara (1:20:34)
The

way that I was hollering at this, I was like, I don't know what's happening here, but Jey.O.F. with L.A. Night. We've already discussed this in detail. So why are we living on the edge? Like, we've already been here. This is not in a Sammy Uso situation, you know what saying? This is not that. This is L.A. Night talking about, it's all about me. So...

Why is Jey gonna be like, yeah, I get it? No! He's not! So that nice super kick he fronted him with, I was hee-hee-haha-ing at end.

Tanesha (1:21:14)
But the thing about

it came out from left field too, cause I didn't know where Jey was. I forgot Jey was, listen, that's what saying, but I'm like, completely forgot that he was even in the ring. Cause it was like, okay, did expect like at the end, like, okay, Jey is just gonna be like.

Kiara (1:21:20)
When they moved the camera, I knew where he was.

Tanesha (1:21:34)
I only came out here for my brother. I come out here for you. Like it wasn't it wasn't personal. I didn't come here for you. I came from my brother. That was about it. Like, you know what saying? But to watch like LA Jimmy, Jimmy like, yeah, you know, he's like, yo, thank you. I appreciate you. he's like, yeah. And then to see him get super, he was like, and then Jimmy looked at him like, yo, what? Why did you just do that? Like we just like we were we were.

Kiara (1:21:56)
I don't know what was confusing.

No, it was extra funny if you heard the audio. We good now, right? Oops, we good?

Tanesha (1:22:07)
I

didn't

Kiara (1:22:12)
You gotta really listen to that audio. I was in stitches. I said, I guess you are. That was Jey. I said, Jey is morphing into the new Roman, okay? This is Roman's fault. He done infected him with that venom. He done did it.

Tanesha (1:22:14)
Wait, said that?

Now listen, listen, when Jimmy said that to him, I went,

ooh, ooh, not you, set, ooh.

Kiara (1:22:30)
Well, Roman

did sit, remember Roman before he went away to, you know, before his injury and he went away to shoot Street Fighter, he had pulls because he's still in a hospital in France, right? Even though he's tweeting.

Tanesha (1:22:33)
That's it.

his injury.

I'm like, can y'all like we This is the

other thing we're gonna get to that point This is the one thing I just do I have to just get this off my chest and I'm gonna do that yesterday Can we stop when we know that they're when you guys already announced that they're gonna be a Street Fighter? Can we stop act like they're actually still injured? Yeah, so, you know, he's he's in the hospital when where The Street Fighters put him in a hospital like I'm not understanding what

Like he's sitting here posting him being whoever he's supposed to be on Street Fighter and then him and Cody are posting each other who...

Kiara (1:23:18)
Akuma? Don't hate me

if I said that wrong, internet, because y'all know I don't know. Okay, I was trying to guess.

Tanesha (1:23:24)
But I'm just saying, then

on top of that, I looked at the thing, I'm like, is that supposed to be you? Because at least Cody's more looked like him. I don't know what is happening. I just went on a tangent, but I just wanted to say, can we stop doing that? Can we just properly just say, okay, they went to Hollywood and just keep it moving? Like, why do we have to write them off and then continue to pretend that they're injured somewhere when they're not?

Kiara (1:23:51)
Look at me. I think it's old school because remember like Like remember whenever somebody needed time. No, but think about this when people needed time off back in the day I'm talking like the 90s remember Shawn Michaels smile situation like remember there was like a whole member when he lost a smile And he was really in rehab or something. No, you don't remember this

Tanesha (1:23:53)
Whose idea was this? Was it old school? Cause I feel like when the rock and stuff and them, okay.

⁓

No, you would know because you... Right, but I didn't know. That was probably gonna...

Kiara (1:24:19)
We didn't know that at that time. Of course I would have known. You know. Well, I didn't know at that

time. To be fair, I did not know at that time because they really did keep his drug situation under wrap, which is good because, I mean, had a parent found out, that would have been a moment.

Tanesha (1:24:37)
Actually, probably not. Back in the day,

I don't think parents really cared.

Kiara (1:24:45)
You right. I keep forgetting this is not today's times where we would be like, ⁓ you don't like him. ⁓ No. But I don't know if my aunt would have been so... Listen, I don't know if my aunt would have been so gung-ho with my Shawn Michaels, I gotta go see him and get the autograph situation. I don't think she would have been.

Tanesha (1:24:46)
Yeah, this is not today's time.

No, we're not listening to him. He's crazy.

Do you think

he was high then?

Kiara (1:25:07)
No.

No, because you know at that time I had a lot of experience at spotting high people so... We're not going to get into growing up in the hood. We're not going to do it, but...

Tanesha (1:25:20)
Nope, nope, nope. Okay, okay. I digress, we digress.

Back to Jimmy and Jey and Roman spending time with Jey before he left.

Kiara (1:25:25)
Yes. Yes. In the Bron Bron situation, yes.

He infected him with whatever that

venomous, like, me-against-the-world situation. Except that unlike Roman, Jimmy's like, Jey is like, Jimmy is my twin, so not you. You know what saying? Like, F everybody, but not you. Right? So at least there's that, whereas Roman was like, I don't need nobody after a while. You know what saying? But obviously he did. He did.

Tanesha (1:25:56)
That was a good man's voice. That was good.

Kiara (1:25:56)
or he wouldn't be in he wouldn't have got his

he wouldn't got got essentially he wouldn't got his shoes got he wouldn't have been in this situation if he had just treated his people better you can tell we are very tired because we are on one tangent after another anyway

Tanesha (1:26:11)
You

I'm happy to know that it's not just me, it's you too.

Kiara (1:26:19)
That's right. And I still can't go to sleep after this. Anyway, so the point is, at the end of the day,

Tanesha (1:26:25)
next week is gonna be

Kiara (1:26:27)
That livestream gonna be... It's gonna be something. It is. Especially if we tired, god. Anyway, the point is, I really... I think they're missing Paul Heyman, like legitimately. I definitely think having Paul Heyman out, it's a little strange what's going on. Like I think I heard somebody mention it feels like they're starting to move them away from each other a bit. So like the bronze are over here.

Tanesha (1:26:34)
Yes.

Mm-hmm.

Kiara (1:26:54)
and then Seth and Becky are kind of separated over here in the corner. And I'm like, but they're still a faction. Yes, they're not really, you know what I'm saying. But they're like separated from being all together like they were previously. So I'm like, was Paul Heyman the only thing keeping everybody in line or what?

Tanesha (1:26:59)
Not in the corner.

Right, the vision, like we are part of the vision.

Yeah. Big.

Kiara (1:27:18)
Because now

what is the dynamic? I really want to know what that dynamic of Becky does. Does she like influence Seth to be like, don't need nobody but you?

I feel like there's something brewing here. However, I think it's too soon for that to happen.

Tanesha (1:27:32)
So do you think she's going to

sit here and get him to drop Paul Hayden?

Kiara (1:27:42)
Yes.

Why does he need him now?

Tanesha (1:27:46)
Now that he's champion. And then watch how quickly he lose that champion. they're gonna start mess. Ooh, messy, messy, messy. Just messy. Ooh, just messy.

Kiara (1:27:56)
That's right. Good times

to be had. Good times to be had. All right, now I want to move on to AJ Styles and El Grande Americano and the craziest match ever. How many? ⁓

Tanesha (1:28:08)
Cause it is another American

great another.

Kiara (1:28:13)
How many

grande Americanos are there? I'd like to know.

Tanesha (1:28:17)
You know what? I feel

like that means Chad is trying to come back, because there's no way that ranked him.

Kiara (1:28:22)
Listen, can cash that to

the game. He is not welcome back in that role. I'm sorry.

Tanesha (1:28:27)
Absolutely not, but

I feel like that's what it was like Seeing him come out to see I was like hold on are y'all telling me chats coming back because now y'all gotta sit here and try to figure out y'all give it back to him because please don't give it back to him because Luke is doing he's doing such a great job

Kiara (1:28:39)
Oh no, he's not welcome. Sorry. I mean, listen,

Chad. Listen, Chad, you are welcome to return. You're just not welcome to return as a Grande Americano. Because whatever Ludwig is doing is working. He speaks all these languages, or at least he appears to. Did you see him singing in the Mexican restaurants? Ugh! Chef's kiss. Beautiful. I was like, listen, okay? He owns it, it is his, it belongs with him.

Tanesha (1:28:51)
Mm-hmm.

No.

Okay.

Kiara (1:29:09)
And that's that. Like, thank you for starting something and it getting better once you're out. That's unfortunate, but it happens sometimes. But I do wonder, because we haven't seen really the- that's the other thing. We haven't really seen the creeds like that. We've seen them in the back, but we haven't seen them in any matches like that.

Tanesha (1:29:26)
Well clearly one

of them was American. ⁓

Kiara (1:29:30)
Yes. Or both, because there was definitely two American Grandes that showed up, wasn't it? Like three? Anyway.

Tanesha (1:29:31)
The second.

But this is the one time I think he lost, because AJ Styles beat him still. I was like, aha, butt, no body. You know, I really was hoping that one day, just one day, I know it is because of Dragon Lee, but I'm just hoping one day that he knocks himself out with the thing. I just want you to see him sticking and trying to knock you out, but then you got the crusher. Man, come on, come on.

Kiara (1:29:51)
It's because of Dragonly, but yes.

I know! That would have been comically amazing.

Tanesha (1:30:08)
You

Kiara (1:30:09)
Facts. Facts.

That would be the best way and then they can unmask him. You know what saying? But I know they don't want to do that because technically, you know, in the Luchador world, we don't do these things. But I did appreciate Dragon Lee has really like stepped up his game. I think ever since we got to see him do the AAA stuff, it really helped elevate his work and seeing what he could do. I always thought he was really good, but now like...

Tanesha (1:30:15)
There you go.

Yeah.

Mm-hmm.

Kiara (1:30:38)
I think it's taken him up a notch in a way that I really appreciate.

Tanesha (1:30:42)
I mean, probably he just needed that little niche, because you did tell me that him and, ⁓ wait, no, is it him? Who are the brothers?

no, I'm talking about penta.

Kiara (1:30:56)
Penta and Fenix Rey Fenix No. Yes, ma'am. Completely different entity.

Tanesha (1:30:58)
⁓ Okay, not Dragon Lee. Dragon Lee is a whole different entity. Okay, got it. Okay, but sometimes you just need something,

but to say, but sometimes you just need something ⁓ to realize you can elevate yourself. And with AAA, you know, that was a good match. So he probably just needed that to remind him that, I can do this. I got the oomph. Yeah.

I don't know where else. I don't know where I was going with that. Sorry. Okay.

Kiara (1:31:29)
Cool cool cool. yes, speaking of Penta.

if I have something nice to say so I'm trying to rephrase it in a way that is nice.

Tanesha (1:31:36)
I know what your face went like.

Kiara (1:31:39)
Yes, because I gotta talk about Rusev. I gotta talk about Rusev. I don't know, I told you it's not working. I already said this previously. So I don't even know if I blame Seamus now. After like watching Raw, I'm like, is it really Seamus' fault? Or is it Rusev just not working?

Tanesha (1:31:41)
Just say it.

Mmm.

Kiara (1:32:00)
Like, I think that's something to consider is, is Rusev the reason why that feud didn't really feel as impressive as it should have? Because I think his character falls flat and I don't know, and I keep saying I don't know, but now I think I do know. I think we need Alana. We need something. We need some spice. We need something to help his character be elevated other than I'm a monster because

So it's Brock and he on the other. He do that a little better where he at. You know what saying? So does it work? Doesn't feel like it.

And if he was a monster, shouldn't he be going after the smaller guys?

Tanesha (1:32:45)
Well, he was, and that's when Seamus came and tried to beat him up.

Kiara (1:32:47)
Right, but that was only

a brief, you know, that was a very small moment in time. That was not a, you know, it wasn't like a streak of like doom. It was like a match or two. So I'm like, I just, again, I think, I feel like Raw is not the darling that I thought it should be. Cause like I said, we were just talking about the tag team matches. I forgot the new day even.

I was like, yeah, they were out there. Like, they was out there. I always wanted them to have two sets of tag team titles, but now I'm like, do you need them? We need tag teams to go back and forth, so it might have to be the way they do the women's tag teams championships, where we have one set and they just travel around fighting people. Because I think that

Tanesha (1:33:18)
Yeah, I mean.

you

Kiara (1:33:42)
First of all, the SmackDown division, as we talked about yesterday, has kind of fallen to the wayside a bit because the belts are held by the Wyatt Six. And then you have on this other side these, this kind of like diminishing tag team division. Now we do have like the Judgment Day, they always do great, that's not no different, but the New Day seem to have lost their steam.

multiple times, and then like when you think about, like I said, we had the Creed's and they're just chilling. They broke up Grayson and ⁓ Theory, but now you put the Usos back together again. But now I'm like, do we want the Usos back together again? And in this case, so Seth has the title.

Tanesha (1:34:22)
Mm-hmm.

Kiara (1:34:32)
So is the Vision going to also be going after tag team titles so they can be the eminent faction? You see what saying? Like, I feel like it's a bit of a mess right now instead of what feels like a carefully laid out story.

Tanesha (1:34:49)
Mm-hmm.

Kiara (1:34:49)
Which is a little disappointing. So I'm like, I really think they need to go ahead and lean into this draft because it needs to shake things up. Things need to be shaking like popcorn with some salt and some butter. Like you need to just... Like some shake and bake. You need to go ahead and just lean into it because it's turning these stories into stale things and it's not as entertaining as it should be. However, you know who is entertaining?

This whole Asuka, Kari, Iyo Bella twin.

Rhea situation. Like really? It's fun watching Asuka bully Kari in Japanese. Yes, Japanese.

Tanesha (1:35:26)
is really interesting. think... No.

get it but at same time

⁓ I don't know. I don't like I don't like it. I think I guess the build-up to know that she's going to end up going after

Kiara (1:35:48)
Yeah.

Tanesha (1:35:48)
E.O.

I know, I'd rather her attack Eel out of left field versus building it up like this. Cause it's also like he's giving that I'm that crazy jealous fatal attraction friend that if I can't get her, no one else can get her.

Kiara (1:36:06)
No, it's not. They leaned in the story of the like juniors and the seniors in Japan, mean in the Japanese kind of like wrestling lore of it all. I didn't either, but they explained it that way, right? So they were like, if, okay, remember how I told you all the best promos are not happening on TV?

Tanesha (1:36:17)
Well see, I never really watched Japanese wrestling, so.

Mm-hmm.

Kiara (1:36:30)
Asuka's promo, which was excellent, did not happen on TV. And she clearly pointed out why she has an issue with E.O. and the disrespect she felt like she was getting by E.O. not following her because she's been in the business and she's been in the company longer, right? Got that story quickly from the promo. Like the way it's unfolding. I mean, I like it. I'm not gonna... I ain't gonna hold you. I like it.

Tanesha (1:36:31)
Mm-hmm.

Mm-hmm.

No. No. To each their own.

Kiara (1:37:02)
So we can disagree,

yeah, we can disagree. All right, let's talk a little time. Let's talk about NXT because everybody and their mama showed up this week, everybody.

Tanesha (1:37:13)
They did and I was sitting here going, ⁓ this is like homecoming and then you know later I was like, ⁓ it's next week. That's actually what it is. This is not a You didn't come up with this idea yourself and I was like dang well, it makes sense It makes sense. mean definitely it's definitely nice It's definitely nice. I mean does even see Carmelo Come and start talking a trick. It was like a trick was just looking like

Kiara (1:37:23)
next week.

I mean, it's nice. I like it.

I love me some Caramello. ⁓

Tanesha (1:37:43)
You don't go here no more. But.

Kiara (1:37:45)
No, but see, but

Trick brought him out though to help him. Yeah, so you gotta remember, yeah, I say you gotta remember how this all unfolded. Like, DIY was in the ring, talking junk, and Trick was like, ⁓ my NXT is better than your NXT, you know. Because it was part of the 2.0 situation and Johnny and them was like, was it black and gold? So...

Tanesha (1:37:49)
he did? ⁓ I missed that part. Jesus.

Mmm. Mm-hmm.

really? ⁓ wow.

Kiara (1:38:12)
He was like,

mine is better. And then he came out with Carmelo and Carmelo came out like a star that he is. And he comes out. And then he looking at Drake like, are we cool? Because...

Tanesha (1:38:18)
Mm-hmm.

Okay, so that's what I remember getting on that. I did not see when he called him out.

Kiara (1:38:28)
Right. It was

because remember, the last interaction with them, they weren't cool.

Tanesha (1:38:33)
Wait, didn't someone turn on one of them? Didn't Trick turn on Carmelo? Or Carmelo turn on Trick?

Kiara (1:38:40)
I'm pretty sure it was Carmelo turning on Trick. Yeah. And then Trick ended up winning, right? And he didn't become champion till later, but Carmelo, that's how he ended up on the Raw brand. Number one draft pick last time. Not that they've done much to honor that. But yeah, I got beef. I got all the beef with Carmelo and the way that he's being treated on the main roster.

Tanesha (1:38:42)
I feel like it was Carmella turning on trick. Mm-hmm. Mm-hmm.

Mm-hmm.

May roster.

Kiara (1:39:06)
And again, the same reason, like I said, I don't want my taz going solo right now with this craziness that they got going.

Tanesha (1:39:13)
Yeah, they really need to lock in what they really are trying to do in their vision and not have it ⁓ so all over the place. ⁓ Because it shows. It shows that you guys just draft.

Grasping for straws to try to make something stick and see which one's going to stick so it's like every week You can't go out here and go try to do this. ⁓ okay. That didn't work We're gonna stretch to them like they need to really Go back to doing the great storytelling that I know that they all are capable of doing to build up each one of these matches or each one of these feuds or each one of these like like to build it up because

Kiara (1:39:54)
Yeah.

Tanesha (1:39:55)
If not, we're gonna keep having this chaos and having this confusion of, well, where we're going, because you can still have a great storyline and still not know where they're going without all the confusion.

Kiara (1:40:07)
I agree with you. I also think it seems to be very limited, like I can only tell one or two stories that are really working per show, which is weird. Because I'm like, you have this whole cast of characters. Like I said, you really got to be able to put in the energy and the time for...

an umbrella story that brings people together, especially as we're heading into like the fall, right? So we all know Survivor Series and War Games is coming, right? And Wrestlepalooza, we don't even know what the hell that's gonna be yet. We just know it's come together pretty quickly. And I'm only slightly excited because of the situation with AJ Lee. Like, I'ma be real with you.

Tanesha (1:40:34)
Mm-hmm.

Okay.

Mm-hmm

Right. I mean, there's nothing else

really truly to be excited about other than watching Becky get her ass beat by AJ and watching Seth can't run from seeing punk and get his ass handed to him. You know I'm saying? But I'm just saying, I know you're gonna stick with Seth all day, but what I'm saying is it's still like...

Kiara (1:40:55)
Yes, yes indeed.

Listen, I'ma support Seth. Listen, I'ma support Seth all day. ⁓

Tanesha (1:41:10)
Their match is the star of the show. Like no one else like, no one, like do I really wanna see the Usos going against the BronBrons? Not really. You know why? Because every time someone goes against the BronBrons, someone ends up in the hospital. Like I don't know, I don't know if we need both of them written off right now. You understand what saying? Like I don't.

Kiara (1:41:13)
Yes.

You

I I was more concerned about Jey's ribs because it wasn't his ribs messed up for like the last two weeks and then like he wasn't wrapped up this time. So I was like yo, yo ribs healed magically in the last week. It's a little inconsistent with the storytelling, but it's cool. It's cool. I get it. And no, I get why you're not excited because I am not... I'm excited from the perspective of seeing...

Tanesha (1:41:48)
Yeah, it's very inconsistent.

No, no, no, not just saying you're not trying to say you're excited.

When you was like, nah, I'm not.

Kiara (1:41:59)
I'm excited from the perspective of seeing the Usos together, not the actual match itself, if that makes sense. Like, I'm like, not the bronze.

Tanesha (1:42:01)
Okay. Okay. Okay. Okay. No, that makes sense. Cause I mean, I'm excited too. When they came out,

when they came out on Raw and Jey came out first, I was like, where's Jimmy? You guys are gonna do separate entrances and then the CEO, I was like, okay. You pretty much let him do his thing first. And then when he came down, he came and y'all all started to do it together. Cool. But I don't know.

I feel...

Kiara (1:42:35)
Okay, not conflicted. Okay, but I...

Again, more beef to be had about this because I feel like, again, maybe we should switch writers. Maybe we should have the NXT writers do a stint, right? Have them do a stint on one of the big shows because NXT was to watch, okay, except maybe one match. Well, no, even that one was to watch. Okay, I say this because... No.

Tanesha (1:42:50)
Ooh, have like drafts of the writers.

No, you talking about the flag match? I don't know, that was not, I'm like,

I'm not, at this point I'm going, what are y'all doing? What are we doing? Is it supposed to be something political? Is this supposed to be, like, what are we doing?

Kiara (1:43:12)
just felt bad for Ethan Page.

I know. What are we doing? I don't know.

Tanesha (1:43:19)
Like how all of a sudden this became

Canada versus US? I need to understand.

Kiara (1:43:23)
That's cause you haven't been watching. Cause if you've been watching, you understand they not told that story, girl. Remember the Chelsea and the Ethan of it all?

Tanesha (1:43:33)
Yeah, but that was how many weeks ago? You

think I'm supposed to remember that many weeks ago why it happened?

Kiara (1:43:37)
It wasn't that many anyway. The point is, yes.

Tanesha (1:43:40)
Yes it was.

It was that many weeks ago because they sat here and it had a peace treaty and then that did not- that went to shits and that's when they went to freaking have their freaking match at fucking NXT Whatever that one was, okay? I can't remember right now.

Kiara (1:43:56)
Yeah, I don't know either, sorry. ⁓ I don't know either. But I know No Mercy is next. But the point is, I was like, I don't remember which NXT that was, I'm sorry.

Tanesha (1:43:58)
You see?

You

It literally just happened,

so.

Kiara (1:44:10)
I know, but there's so much I... Listen, I'm watching even more wrestling than you, okay? I'm watching even more wrestling than you, and I'm not complaining.

Tanesha (1:44:14)
I'm getting wrestling burnout, okay? is, WWE, you are burning

us out and then burning through our pockets like we just have it like that. Do you not understand we are struggling out here in these streets? No, you don't care. You just want us to take everything from what we got and not care. Jeez.

Kiara (1:44:34)
I think we need to sit

and talk about this for a minute because before, hold that thought. We're coming back to that. I will say Josh Briggs and Javon Evans had a good match. That was good. ⁓ I'm pretty sure I skipped, did I skip? No, I didn't. I watched the Cullings match, but what I enjoyed almost, well, the dark state, that too. But what I enjoyed more than that?

Tanesha (1:44:44)
Mm.

Kiara (1:45:02)
was this whole Blake Monroe glamor demon situation. You have got to watch this promo package they have for her. I was like, is she preparing for Halloween? Because, I mean, kudos for it. Because the way she came out and attacked Jordan, like, she was scared. She came through and came at Jordan. I was like, ooh.

Well, well now. Miss Barbie wasn't as nice to play with. She seemed a little dark and interesting and I like it. I liked it. I liked it a lot. Now listen, the Culling are apparently the new number one contenders for the Tag Team Championship. So we all know that Alexa and Charlotte are coming next week to face them and that's Ivy Dane and Paxton. So I'm not exactly excited about that.

So look great.

Tanesha (1:46:02)
Okay, okay, okay. Yeah. Yes. Yes. Yes. I was like I said what I was like what and then I went ⁓ that's right They did have a number one contention for the women tag team match, but you know what? That's fine I like I like that they're now trying to do something. I do like the fact that they are cross-branding everybody ⁓

Kiara (1:46:05)
I know you don't know who that is, yeah I'm trying to see.

Tanesha (1:46:21)
The ones that they're not really using. I definitely liked how When Rhea came or Tiffany came I was like, look at you not up Dressed in pink and looking crazy like with your lingerie and stuff on good. Look at that. You got close You were close and then you know Stephanie, I love you Stephanie, but girl, what were you talking about? Because you was like I think Never mind. That was that that's not that's mean. I ain't gonna say that out loud. So

Kiara (1:46:34)
Hahaha

You

know what my problem with the Stephanie thing is? Why she not on the main roster? Like y'all just, y'all told her, I'm sorry, we don't got nothing for you at Clash of Paris. We got a plan for you. We not gonna see you? Like, what?

Tanesha (1:47:04)
Why they not building, but I guess maybe they're not trying to build it up, because technically EO and Stephanie don't have beef. They just have the match, because unfortunately, our Naomi is baking a baby. you know. I mean, it's fortunately, I'm saying as in like, they can't build up Stephanie and EO, because it was never a storyline.

Kiara (1:47:18)
Or fortunately, yeah.

I know what mean in terms of storyline.

Tanesha (1:47:30)
So to make them have imaginary beef all of a sudden just so they can go ahead. I mean, I get it.

Kiara (1:47:30)
But here's...

But could there

not have been a storyline? So just because there wasn't a storyline initially, could there not have been one? Because right now they have Iyo in this mix with Asuka, Kari, Rhea, and Nikki in this situation right here. So are you telling me that y'all couldn't have found nothing to build up this match?

Tanesha (1:47:48)
I guess I could see.

Kiara (1:47:59)
You might as well put them in a tag team match and have them not work it out. Like right now we still talking about Bailey and

Tanesha (1:47:59)
Okay, tsssusay.

Lara.

Kiara (1:48:10)
Yes. Shout out to Bailey's split personality situation. I hope the heel wins. I do. I do hope the heel wins. And that she slices and dices that little birdie. That's my hope.

Tanesha (1:48:24)
Okay. So what I was gonna say was to go back to watching Jaycee get nervous. Not so much about Tiffany being out there, and Stephanie, but the moment Rhea came out there, you could see her face, was like, no. Damn. And I'm going, you know what? I would not be sad to watch ⁓ Rhea take the NXT championship off her hands.

Kiara (1:48:26)
You

You know? They don't really, they're not, well Rhea, remember, they were kind of trying to figure out what to do, but then she lost the title opportunity and she's not really in the picture. See, that's what I thought initially was going to happen, is that we were going to do Rhea and Stephanie or something like that. Or we could have done a triple threat. I keep forgetting who has a title. Nobody. So that's why I was like...

Tanesha (1:49:00)
Mm-hmm.

and then they're like in EU. okay.

What's not even that? We should not do a triple threat, because I'm

tired of triple threats. They could have did it again. Hey, EO, Rhea, do it one more time.

and whoever is gonna be the number one contender to go against Stephanie. Mm-hmm. That match never got finished. It got interrupted by Naomi. Bye. That's what I'm saying. I don't know. I have no clue.

Kiara (1:49:22)
right, because they never finished that match.

So why did we pick EO versus Stephanie?

Do see how we logically can't make this leap? That tells me that I'm concerned about the storytelling. It's like Rhea, no offense, EO, but Rhea feels like a champion no matter where she goes. So even seeing her at NXT, you're like, let's correlate. Let's have her going against JC Jane. You see how easy that leap was for you? Like, that will work. But why are EO and Stephanie about to go toe to toe?

Tanesha (1:49:49)
Mm-hmm.

Mm-hmm.

Kiara (1:50:04)
Why can't we build a story with them? You just announced it, you couldn't put them face to face this week? Y'all couldn't even have the signing, remember? So she couldn't make it to Rob, but she could show up in NXT?

Tanesha (1:50:10)
do a face off. Well, didn't they say something about, yeah, yeah, what was that about? Why didn't we have a sign in?

Kiara (1:50:23)
What's happening here? Adam is not doing his job. Okay? That is not working either. You know what we need? We need a good Sonya DeVille type character to be like the assistant general manager because something's not working, Adam Pearce.

And his blood pressure is like 900 degrees. It's like up to 900 and then some when he was arguing with the people around. I was like, my god, poor man. Poor man. He looks so stressed out. I hope y'all paying him well.

Tanesha (1:50:56)
He needs a vacation.

He needs a vacation, because these people, I feel like he's gotten more gray hairs being there than he had when he started. Not on his face? He has hair on his face. No, I'm saying here. And it's getting more gray here. That's what I'm saying.

Kiara (1:51:01)
They need to send, they need to send like an interim.

That man ain't got no hair, baby. He ain't got no hair.

Yes he does. I thought you'd met his head anyway. Cool cool. I'm sorry. Of course it is! The stress of it all.

Let's stress it all. Nobody listens to him. Nobody does. They do what they want to do. The bronze bronze were like, we don't have to do nothing. We don't have to do. I was like, nobody's scared about their jobs here. ⁓ That is not an effective general manager.

Tanesha (1:51:41)
Well,

clearly they were, because they did not show up that night. They were like, no, I think them getting told that they weren't going to get paid either. was like, right, all right, all right, all right.

Kiara (1:51:45)
Maybe Seth told him not to.

Yeah, that's a real situation here. All

right, now that takes us to this next part. WWE, we are not made of money, okay? Y'all have officially lost your damn mind with this new announcement today for WrestleMania at Saudi Arabia. Are you freaking kidding me? Every year, there's the opportunity to travel around to go to WrestleMania.

Tanesha (1:51:56)
Okay.

⁓ lord.

Kiara (1:52:20)
But not the hell this year. This year, it's like y'all trying to rake our pocketbooks over the coals, which is crazy to me. It's crazy. Not only do, you know, some people, not me, have to pay a $29.99 additionally for ESPN. And I couldn't even cancel Peacock because I'm a needed for NXT. I had a downgrade, girl.

Tanesha (1:52:42)
That's why I won't.

Kiara (1:52:49)
I was like, listen, listen, I had no commercials, but I'm gonna have to go from premium plus to just premium because a budget is a budget. But y'all are outrageous. Even if you want to buy their gear right now, which is just your opportunity, down below you're gonna find our affiliate code. So if you want to pop up and get that new AJ Lee shirt, go ahead and hit that link. It's gorgeous. I want one too. You can also send us a gift. There's gonna be a donation button on our site.

Tanesha (1:53:11)
love bites

Kiara (1:53:19)
can also donate money for us to buy merch, because as we've just stated here, we are not made out of money. And this is crazy. This is crazy. Like, I feel like the greed of it all is taking over, and it's very frustrating from a fan perspective. Because I'd love for my kids to be able to go to these events and have a good time, but the more that I think about it, I'm like, listen, ⁓

Tanesha (1:53:32)
Mm. Mm-hmm.

Kiara (1:53:48)
You know what I'm taking my kids to do instead of going to WWE? We're going, no, we're going to go an independent show here in the area. That's gonna be our new thing. What?

Tanesha (1:53:52)
going to TNA. ⁓

⁓ the next thing I was gonna say was apple picking, but...

It's fall! It's getting cold!

Kiara (1:54:08)
It's not getting cold in the Carolina, my love.

Tanesha (1:54:11)
Hmm.

Kiara (1:54:11)
Okay, anyway. My point is, WWE has unleashed a whole new level of greed, and it is a problem by far. And I was reading this article where Mark Shapiro, who is like the CCO for TKO, basically was talking about their intention to continue raising the prices of the tickets because they want the same clientele who pay for the UFC.

Tanesha (1:54:12)
You

Kiara (1:54:40)
to be the same target audience for WWE. That's not a family thing. I would not be taking my kids to Vegas to see no damn UFC. Who has the funds for that? That's tapping into college funds, okay?

Tanesha (1:54:43)
which is crazy.

Well, I mean, I ain't gonna lie. I ain't gonna lie.

Once we are billionaires, my ass is going to a UFC fight. I ain't gonna lie. And a boxing match.

Kiara (1:55:00)
Do you see how

you had to say not millionaires? You had to wait until you were a billionaire to even think about spending that kind of money? That's what I'm talking about. That there is what I'm talking about. That level of greed.

Tanesha (1:55:04)
You

You

I want it to feel like it's a drop it

in the bucket that I don't even need to miss it or think about it.

Kiara (1:55:16)
Because the pricing is like, it prices families out. Like I was like, I can't take them to go to, no? Sorry. We can watch it on Peacock. Or apparently the way some people are doing, let's pool our money together so we can afford ESPN. Or we might have to take it to a bar. I don't know.

Tanesha (1:55:33)
When whoever the people are

share that log in. Thanks

Kiara (1:55:38)
Anyhow, I don't like it. I don't like what's happened here. I don't like that it feels like we are being priced out of something that has been in our lives our whole lives. You know what mean? Like the opportunity to engage, to see the superstars, to all of it seems more and more out of reach. And at the end of the day,

The people who are going to suffer from that is a WWE because what you're going to make people start doing is look for options that are more available to them, which means the AEWs, the TNAs, the local wrestling promotions. So I'm sure they're liking this because I can afford that ticket. That's not going to break every bank there ever could be. Plus the rent, the credit cards and car notes. Just saying. All right.

Tanesha (1:56:08)
Mm-hmm.

Mm-hmm.

Kiara (1:56:29)
What, is there anything else? ⁓ I do! Yes! It is time for the free round because tomorrow, or in 36 minutes, it will be Friday and the AAA's Worlds Collide event will be happening right after SmackDown. So...

Tanesha (1:56:30)
Speed round.

Ding ding ding ding ding ding!

after SmackDown. Ooh, now this

is!

Kiara (1:56:54)
I'm so psyched. I'm so excited. But anyway, speed round it up. Let's get it.

Ding ding, in case y'all don't know, that's when y'all hear that noise. so.

Tanesha (1:57:02)
day.

Kiara (1:57:05)
Yes, are six matches. So we're gonna start with the Lucha Showcase, which I love because anytime we could see more people. It's La Parka Mascarita Sagrada, Niño Hamburguesa? Interesting. Octagon Jr. Yes, si. And the Latino World Order with Cruz de Toro and Joaquin Wilde and Lince Dorado and Mini Abismo Negro.

Tanesha (1:57:21)
Wait, hamburger?

Kiara (1:57:34)
Hmm.

Tanesha (1:57:34)
LFO.

Kiara (1:57:35)
same nope, nope, not same You know who I'm gonna pick? The other team that does not have a big name because Octagon Junior's in it, and I can say that. Also, because I loved watching Octagon Junior's work last time.

Tanesha (1:57:47)
But isn't the

hamburger, the hamburghiza, I'm sorry, don't get mad at me. Isn't that the one who, didn't he, in the last one, stop to eat a burger?

Kiara (1:57:51)
Yes, what about it? Hamburgesa?

That makes it even better. I'm so excited. I'll pick the other ones. All right. All right. We got the mixed tag scene match with Finn Balor and Roxanne Perez and Mr. Iguana and Lola Vice.

Tanesha (1:58:14)
⁓

Kiara (1:58:15)
Didn't know about that one, did you?

Tanesha (1:58:17)
Well, I'm gonna go with Lola Weiss and Miss Iguana, but something's gonna happen because Miss Ivy's gonna come out. I just feel it. I just feel it in my spirit that Miss Ivy's gonna come out and make Roxanne and Finn Balor win because she's gonna be angry and jealous.

Kiara (1:58:29)
So who you picking again?

Are you picking Mr. Iguana and Lola Vice?

Tanesha (1:58:38)
Even though I just said what I said. Yeah.

Kiara (1:58:43)
Well, I'm picking the Judgment Day. That's who I'm picking. All right. The AAA Reina de Reinas Championship number one contenders match with Natalia and Fabi Apache, which that was amazing. Yep. Nattie all the way because I hope she brings straight up Nattie. I hope she brings straight up Nattie and low key legend. I love it. Can I get some gear that says that because

Tanesha (1:58:57)
I'm going to tell you.

That's right. I need that. She was a legend that legend. She's legend. Yes

Kiara (1:59:11)
Again, this is your moment to check out that link below. All right. So now we have the AAA Latin American Championship, El Hijo de Dr. Wagner Jr., who's currently the champion, versus Dragon Lee, versus JD McDonough, versus Ethan Page. They are just tossing people into this. This is delicious. Who are you picking? Don't even, you don't even know where I'm going next, so don't even try to guess. I'm going have to, you know who I'm going with since I'm waiting for you?

Tanesha (1:59:28)
What? ⁓ my god.

Kiara (1:59:40)
El Hijo de Dr. Wagner Jr. and Dragon Lee.

Tanesha (1:59:41)
I was about to say whoever the champion

is.

Kiara (1:59:46)
Yeah, that's that's the... Well, the chant, well, I'm sorry, it's a four-way. I'm trippin'. It's a four-way!

Tanesha (1:59:50)
Actually, no, I'm gonna go with Ethan Page, because I feel like Ethan's going to cheat.

and Chelsea's

gonna somehow pop out.

Kiara (2:00:00)
You know what? I think.

I think Dragon Lee's gonna take it. I'ma pick Dragon Lee. All right, the AAA World Tag Team Championships, Psycho Clown and Pagano versus The New Day because yeah.

Tanesha (2:00:17)
Alright, I'll go with new day. New day sucks. New day sucks.

Kiara (2:00:22)
I'm going to pick the people and say New Day Sucks Anyway, all right.

Tanesha (2:00:25)
Cause that's what we, whatever.

Kiara (2:00:28)
You know what? You know what? Same. The new day. Because it amuses the hell out of me that they could become AAA World Tag Team Champs.

Tanesha (2:00:28)
Olé!

Kiara (2:00:40)
Yep, yep. And okay, last one. One for all the all the coins. The AAA Mega Championship. It says AA, but I don't know if it's AA or AAA. It sounds, it should be AAA. I don't know why it was like this anyway. El Hijo, Del Vikingo versus Dominic Mysterio. Me too, because this is his moment, you hear me? This is his moment. So I say we might get a Liv sighting too.

Tanesha (2:00:47)
Is it with Dominic?

I'm going say Dominic.

Mm-hmm. Mm-hmm.

Kiara (2:01:09)
Because last time he had the shirt with the Liv on it. So maybe she helps him.

Tanesha (2:01:13)
Or he's probably trying to show her that,

you know, he still loves her. Even though Roxanne wants to go, I'ma go check on him.

Kiara (2:01:19)
