Drew McIntyre vs. Sami Zayn Analysis
00:05:30
Speaker
you tuned in again. Make sure you subscribe to Ball and Buds, B-A-L-L-A-N-D-B-U-D-S on YouTube. Hit that like button right now. Everybody piling in. We appreciate it. Got a ton you coming on. Hit that like button for us. Help everybody here in the algorithm. Gets us out to more people that don't know about us but need to. Let's kick this game.
00:05:47
Speaker
Bad boy. ah First of all, I'm going in order of the matches that I predict are in the way that they're going to go. So if you disagree with me, you can let me know. But I believe that the first one to kick it off is going to be the Drew McIntyre and Sami Zayn ah match here. And the reason I say that is because Sami is a huge, huge popular draw in Saudi Arabia, if not their most popular draw in Saudi Arabia, obviously with the, you know,
00:06:19
Speaker
Palestinian stuff and all Israel and all all the stuff that goes into that. We're not getting into that here, but just saying that's why he's very popular versus Drew McIntyre, the reigning champion, recently beat Cody Rhodes to take that championship from him. Now we know Drew was, and we hope he doesn't consider to be after this, but we know at one point he was a uh, transitional champion that didn't help hold hold the boat belt, excuse me for very long.
00:06:47
Speaker
So a lot of, uh, WWE fans and wrestling fans in particular are excited for a longer reign for McIntyre this time around, but you cannot count the popularity of Sammy Zane out. Uh, I take Jake, let's start with you, brother. what are your thoughts on this matchup and who is your winner?
00:07:07
Speaker
um Look, Sami Zayn, he's a good draw. He reminds me of the Jeff Hardy of that era. You know, he he was kind of good here there. you kind of got, you know, some flashes.
00:07:23
Speaker
But I never can see him as a head of a table kind of guy. The way I see it with the man Drew McIntyre. Let me tell you something. This is the best bad guy WWE has.
00:07:33
Speaker
I hate that they had him hidden for half the year before then. It pissed me off. This guy sells himself. He's their best bad guy. I think when he had the feud with CM Punk, I was drawn in.
00:07:47
Speaker
There was a reason Cody Rhodes and Drew went to the back room and told the that idiot road dog, hey, man, give this guy the championship belt because we need to sell some some tickets.
00:08:00
Speaker
And this is why I think they're going to let Drew McIntyre control his reign, and he deserves it too. Guys, I want to hear reign from Drew. I do. This guy can draw it. I'm sorry. We saw the Cody effect. Congrats, bro. You won WrestleMania. What was it? The one where he beats Roman. that was his That was his biggest moment. We saw it already. We've seen it for a year.
00:08:23
Speaker
We saw lose to Cena, come back and get the belt back. No, I want to see see a new champion and i want to see a bad guy they tried to throw me gunther they keep shoving me gunther down my damn throat i'm tired of that shit uh no i want a good bad guy and damn it i'm getting one with drew freaking mcintyre i think drew mcintyre comes out victorious i think sammy gives him a good match um But in the end, Drew McIntyre will finish him off.
00:08:52
Speaker
Oh, what is his finishing move? I love that little just kick out of nowhere. he go be The Claymore. clay more Yeah, the Claymore. When he comes with that Claymore, it's over. See you later, Sammy. Congrats. Get to the back of the damn line after that.
00:09:05
Speaker
I do agree with you on one thing there that he is one of their best heels and that promo ah that they did with him and Cody at the house man that was intense and well produced and I'm sure it was probably Borash.
00:09:20
Speaker
that came up with it because he's the main man there. Shout out my brother, Jeremy Borash there in the writers group. But um yeah, it' ah it was well done and he is one of their best heels. He's one of their best talkers. And you're right. they don't They don't give him enough chance to talk on the mic.
Judgment Day and Sami Zayn Future Storylines
00:09:35
Speaker
What are your thoughts about that, Mar, in this match? i Look.
00:09:41
Speaker
Sammy's the Josh Allen of professional wrestlers. He's a lovable loser. Okay. ah ah He gets over with the crowd.
00:09:54
Speaker
People love him, and they want to put him in his upper echelon with the greats. He ain't the greats. i he I like Sammy Zane, but, you know, you're – You know, you're the king of the other ground, like your nickname. You know, you cool.
00:10:10
Speaker
You know, you great. You know, man. It's fun. It's fun. You know, you give us moments like, you know, you're feeling real oozy. That's what you're supposed to do, you know?
00:10:21
Speaker
oh Other than that. it's like it's like one It's like one of your side chicks that, not you. I'm not talking about you in particular. But it's like when you got one of them side chicks. She's really fun to hang out with. You know, she she had a good time, but you ain't going to make her your number one. jane and She ain't going to be the one you you have it over all the time.
00:10:38
Speaker
Every numero uno. yeah but I mean, you know. is is it is kind of her fault, but ah but i mean, to the point of the conversation, Sami Zayn is cool and all, but i just i just he just doesn't scream top champion to me.
00:10:56
Speaker
I agree with Jake on this one. Drew is one of the best salesman of his character ah the way that he gets after it on social media especially that i love what he does on social media like he embodies like like like jay said like hey hey baby kayfabe no i i like a bad guy like drew does it best man like you know so you know By the time they give him a legit run, you know, no more losing it in five minutes and cashing in on WrestleMania.
00:11:29
Speaker
ah You know, no more, ah you know, ah COVID and having it during COVID, you know, like let the man have ah have a legit run.
00:11:40
Speaker
I think he's good for it. So um' I'm with Jake. I'm taking Drew on this.
Boxing vs. Wrestling: Rigging and Storyline Manipulation
00:11:45
Speaker
Okay. Bobby G, what are your thoughts? You know what? ah People are starting to fall out of love with boxing, right?
00:11:53
Speaker
And the reason is, is because a lot of people think it's still old school rules, think still think it's rigged, right? um The difference between boxing and wrestling is,
00:12:04
Speaker
Rigging is okay. So I say that to say. meant to be. You're right. Yeah. I say that to say Jake is absolutely right when he says Sammy is huge over there.
00:12:16
Speaker
He's for the number one w WWE star over there. So it wouldn't surprise me if Triple H got an extra envelope. and yeah joe McIntyre got an extra envelope. We know what you want to do for the rest the year. That's cool. But tonight, this night, let our let our people go home happy.
00:12:35
Speaker
That's Friday. You can do what you want to do. But tonight in our land, i check with the check that we cut your entire company, plus this little extra I'm going to get you on the side, and we just built a whole new venue just to have this event. It looks beautiful. looks peter That would be similar to giving mankind the belt in the run of the Attitude Era.
00:12:59
Speaker
I mean, hey, sometimes that's okay, but I bet you it wasn't no M's behind that one There'll be some M's behind this one. yeah You know, a little bonus on the side. yeah so I mean, my head wants me to say,
00:13:12
Speaker
Drew's going to win, but it's just, you know, my palms itching. And, you know, when they say we got itchy palms, it's itching for Drew because I know he's getting a little extra to, you know, take take a dive. And then, you know, he'll come back. Hey, they just moved SmackDown in three hours, right? We need something to fill. How about a championship rematch next Friday on SmackDown to fill that three hours? Get Drew the belt right back. A little rematch.
00:13:34
Speaker
The rematch action. We know the game. So I'm going to take Sami Zayn. Back it up. Back up that brainstorm. Back up that brainstorm. Sami Zayn. Yeah, you know what? No, that's funny you say that because I agree that that would be though that would be the reason they do it, right? If they're going to go Sami Zayn victory here, you do it because, like we said at the top of the show, he is their most popular wrestler in that area most for all intents and purposes. and um
00:14:04
Speaker
If you want to make everybody, and we all are well known, that WWE wwe will make their fans go unhappy. Let's just see to recent Washington, D.C., where John Cena tapped out with ah with a smile on his face and everybody was pissed off. They don't ever care about the fans' feelings, especially in hometown things and stuff like that.
00:14:27
Speaker
But is it isn't just a trend that they've recently started? Take it back to WrestleMania. Take it back to last WrestleMania. What happened with the women's tag team titles? o The man came back champion. What happened the very next day?
00:14:41
Speaker
They dropped him right back. Right. Take it to ah John Cena. Oh, you need a triple crown. You need a triple crown in your hometown. Yeah. Take down. And what happened couple of weeks later? Yeah. Drop it right back. So, you know, it's a trick. No, you're exactly, you know what? You're exactly right. It's been, they have been using that trope a lot more lately. They've been going to that and they didn't used to a lot before. I'm glad you pointed that out because that's a great point.
00:15:06
Speaker
and Yeah. I could definitely see them doing that here again. And it would have to be because if not, you would definitely piss, the WWE w universe off because like I said earlier, a lot of people are clamoring for Drew to have that long title run that he was supposed to have it when COVID happened.
00:15:23
Speaker
So, um you know, we'll we'll see what happens there. I am going to, you
AJ Styles' Career Retrospective and Retirement Speculation
00:15:28
Speaker
know what? Yeah, you convinced me, Bobby. I was going to go through But I'm going to say that they they give Sammy to win. Let everybody go home happy. You know, maybe Turkey Ali Sheik is in the background pumping some meals in there. and And they give Drew the belt back on on SmackDown or something. Now, the only reason I would say maybe they wouldn't is because they already gave Sammy his win in in the last one there in Canada where he won the fo fatal four-way that he shouldn't have won, in my opinion. should have been Trick Williams all day if you're really trying to pump up a new star right now. and You had him right there. But Trick Williams is going to be a star yeah either way, so it doesn't really matter.
00:16:07
Speaker
All Huh? Sure is. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Oh, yeah. Star written all over him. um Even more than Carmelo, which is – Carmelo's the better wrestler in my opinion, but Trick just exudes more personality and more Shona. But we'll see. Hey, you know, if they can get him back together in a tag team at some point, that'd be cool, but they both deserve to be champions, independent champions. So, I mean, shout out to him for holding – what is it, the U.S. title he has now, Carmelo?
00:16:34
Speaker
Carmelo. Okay, cool. All right. Hey, make sure you hit that like button if you're watching. We appreciate it. Subscribe to Ball & Buzz. Tap in with everybody here as well at all the channels um that you see there. Let me take that off for a second so you can see. All right, cool. So let's move it on to the next one in my prediction here. You've got to go. If you did that, you've got to go Royal Rumble Women's here. because you're going go Royal Rumble men last. there's I mean, there's no way you do anything else at this point. I don't see why they would even ever change that. So we're going to save the Royal Rumble, both Royal Rumbles for last because of that fact, but I do believe women's would go next. But we'll go to the AJ Styles Gunther.
00:17:11
Speaker
matchup here. So AJ Styles and Gunther is going to be a retirement match. So this is kind of what we you just talked about, Bobby G, and that trope of um you know ah gun Gunther had to beat AJ Styles in order to even get this rematch to where he would have to retire. Now,
00:17:29
Speaker
ah as all of us know here, but maybe many of you do not know, AJ Styles' contract is up. He had already told everybody he was going to retire in 2026. Everyone thought it was going to be a much more drawn out John Cena type retirement, which at this point, we don't know that it wouldn't be.
00:17:50
Speaker
John Cena did a lot of that last retirement stuff off of contract, just on like kind like regular month-to-month payments, stuff like that. So it could happen. But Technically, AJ Styles' contract is up at the end of February.
00:18:04
Speaker
So if you are a wrestling you know ah I don't want to say nerd, but if you're a lover wrestling, if you've known wrestling a long time, AJ Guy is starting TNA.
00:18:15
Speaker
So a lot of the rumors are maybe he wanted to make one last run ah there, which could be understandable as TNA is pretty hot right now. Shout out to my boy, Mike Santana. I'm going to see them next next week when they come here to Nashville ah for their pay-per-view. But anyways, ah so...
00:18:34
Speaker
Let's go ahead and talk about this matchup. Wild Card Mara, we'll start with you. Do you really think AJ Styles will be retired? i' Probably from WWE.
00:18:44
Speaker
ah Like you said, i obviously, you know, taking the kayfabe out and dealing with the contract, that's one thing. But just kind of look at what they've been kind of doing with him with some of his matches.
00:18:58
Speaker
Like the Shinsuke Nakamura match was out of nowhere. and That's one of his... Greatest adversaries. po um John Cena match. Obviously, yeah, John Cena's retirement, but because of the fact that you knew was one-on-one with it's like, well, shit. We definitely got to do it now. because um And that just came out of the blue. So like some of these matches are just kidding kind of made out of the blue what it looks like. Uh-oh. You sound like you're onto to some clues here, my friend.
00:19:28
Speaker
So, I mean, just look at some of the matchups they've been doing. They've been putting him in like, even with the Dragon Lee and the tag teams, they've been putting to him ah and Oh, yeah. They gave him the tag team belts out of nowhere. Yes.
00:19:39
Speaker
Oh, my God. You're on to something. Wait a second. So was like, cause I think he's done the intercontinental in us. I'm not hundred percent sure. But regardless,
00:19:53
Speaker
ah you know, ah that's, that's one thing that I've been noticing. You know, great point. They've been putting him in matches with like, not, no, like, the the top people, like when they did the tag team, they put them in with the Usos in New Day. Matches you would only want to do if you were trying to.
00:20:16
Speaker
i just think the signs have kind of really been there. um so i And, you know, all of a sudden, out of the blue, oh, yeah, put your career on the line. For what? Why? What point do I need to put my career on the line? So, um yeah, I think it's kind of already right there. So, yeah, Gunter's winning his match. And it builds his career killer persona, and he got going on.
00:20:42
Speaker
Yes, he's like the 2026 version of Randy Orton out here. just rick yeah so Yeah, just retiring fools. By the way, he is the Triple Crown champion. He's the 32nd ever Triple Crown champion and the 15th Grand Slam champion. So he has the the Grand Slam too with all of Intercontinental, U.S. We talked about the tag team, and he has the WWE Championship twice, Intercontinental once.
00:21:07
Speaker
Yeah, see? There you go. guess go i tackle This is the last one. Yeah, yeah. Bobby G, what are your thoughts on this? Do you agree? ah Yeah, man. Marvin pointed out some fantastic tidbits. Yeah, that was great. Like said, yeah, I'm on board with it the whole time he's speaking. I'm trying to figure in my mind, like,
00:21:28
Speaker
what would make sense for an AJ win. And it's like difficult to find that. Like the only thing that would make sense is we have some kind of no contest and then they do it again at Mania, you know, but, um,
00:21:42
Speaker
but um I don't know. out ah I believe, yeah, let this one be his last. Have a great match right off into the sunset. And yeah, like it's so almost like they put themselves in the corner. You have to have Gunther win or you kind of destroy his whole legend killer persona.
00:22:02
Speaker
Which you've yeah what you've been building up and that kills all that. What was the point of it? right Yeah, he can't lose this early. um So, yeah, i um um I'm with Mar. think Gunther gets the dub and, you know, shout out to ah AJ Styles. mean, I didn't see a lot of his career, but what I did saw was a press wit. So, you know, good good luck in your next...
00:22:22
Speaker
Did you say you haven't seen a lot of AJ Styles career? Is that what you said? was in the military. I was in the Air Force for eight years. So was like I missed a lot of. No, sure, but you saw him in TNA though, right? You saw him wrestling.
00:22:36
Speaker
na Hey, Bobby, I'll put it to you this way to describe his career in one word. Phenomenal.
00:22:45
Speaker
let I see what you did there. like it. like little bit. love and and But look, no. ah open But no, for real though, um I do see that there's no point in having built Gunther up with that legend killer kind of, you know, ah mantra or not mantra, but, um you know, persona. If you're going to, if you're just going to ruin it this early. ah Also completely completely.
00:23:16
Speaker
uh great points by mar like if you're doing all of these matches and you're building up building up building up these are things you would do when someone is about to end their career um not a year before they're done with their career because you could have sure as hell stretched these matchups out over the next year if you really wanted to so that's kind of really making me lean the other way a little bit i'm not going to give yet i want to hear what hot take jake has to say brother
00:23:43
Speaker
I'm annoyed. I'm annoyed. i hate that they keep force-feeding me. Freaking gun. look First off, guys, tell me y'all were not disappointed in that Cena match. Oh, no, loved it.
00:23:53
Speaker
Yeah, I liked it. Really? No, hell no. Let me tell you something. one And I absolutely loved the ending, too. No, the ending should have been Cena passes out to show you he never gave up. At least. At the very least. He never gave up because what I saw. Wasn't that his whole person persona?
00:24:11
Speaker
Yeah, but it was the semblance of I've given you everything.
Gunther's Role and Future in WWE
00:24:15
Speaker
No, I'm sorry, man. If your whole persona and the towel you held up every damn time would say never give up. That says never give And then you gave up. It's also the semblance of him going out on his own terms. oh man come on guys no and and i'm telling you bro i'm tired i didn't like any of it to be honest i hated all of it but don't like johnson these retirement matches i'm so tired of it with gunther i'm telling you this if gunther's not over by now he'll never get over because beating cena for a retirement match there's nobody bigger i'm sorry aj styles could sniff a cena career that's crazy
00:24:48
Speaker
That's crazy you'll work. That is wild. Cena has his own generation. Come on. That's not at all. Cena's career. Cena's a top four all time. Get out of here, yo. If AJ Styles would have been given the chance to go to the WWE w a lot earlier. would have been an average player. He would have been Tokyo.
00:25:13
Speaker
Or what's that guy's name? a Cowboy. What's that guy's name? The only thing he can't do is talk on the mic because he can sure as hell out-wrestle anyone in the WWE. He'd be maven. That's a big part. Of the WWE. He'd be maven.
00:25:27
Speaker
Come on, bro. Not Maven. Not Maven. No, he wasn't great. He wasn't great. And Cena killed him when he first came back and told him, bro, just because I didn't roll in the indie scene for so long.
00:25:38
Speaker
Cena already killed him on the mic about it. It's just facts. Back to Gunther. I guess they're going to keep overhyping this guy of beating everyone. Like you said, he's not Randy Orton either. I'm so tired of this persona of a legend killer type of thing.
00:25:52
Speaker
Who's next? I got a question real quick, guys. Who's next on the list that could retire soon? Because if he can't nobody else to retire, his personas just fall. Because I'm sure as hell knowing his damn championship wasn't nothing.
00:26:06
Speaker
He had the heavyweight championship. Didn't amount to shit with it. I got to agree. i believe I believe his championship reign was very lackluster. Not a lot of fan support behind it. So now you're going to be... Yeah. yeah Who's he? My bad. Let me and then we stop interrupting. Who do y'all think else can he retire?
00:26:25
Speaker
Let's go. like no new year but yeah want i just wanted to get y'all's thought on this because, and look, Gunther was fine in NXT when he was Walter because you know it was it was a new style that you don't usually see in the WWE. It's more of a Japanese, British, strong style sort that he brings, especially with the massive chops. So it's not something you saw in the WWE really a lot before him. So it was novel when he came in.
00:26:54
Speaker
But after a while, that shit just gets stale. And it's like, okay, it's like Brock Lesnar doing German suplexes over and over. It's like, okay, bro. After a while, it's like, I don't... And that's why... Again, bum-ass Cena and his two moves set. In one year. And they fucking built him up off of that. Because he had like a three matches of the years where they loved his matches. I'm tired of that.
00:27:15
Speaker
The thing about... This is what gets me with the Triple H era. And I have to bring this up real quick. Triple h Whenever a guy is good on the mic, he'll hide you eventually. Like when LA night got hot, he started hiding him. We couldn't freaking find where the hell he was at after that. and now But yeah, he'll go over here with a guy that's just good at freaking wrestling, but that's no mic skills and try and boost them up in every way which way. I'm telling bro, you watch, Trick and Carmelo are gonna fall back into the abyss for a little while before we start seeing them pop again.
00:27:48
Speaker
i They do it every time. I don't know. I don't know. The crowd ain't letting, letting trick get off. They, they love that entrance too much. That entrance, bro. That I was, I was saying this the other day when I was watching the fatal four way, cause obviously I'm a boy. So I love me some Damien priest. Shout out to my fellow Puerto Rican. ah But he came out in his entrance and I'm like, I get it, bro. That's part of your character and your persona, the, you know, deep, dark metal, heavy metal party rocker, dude. Uh,
00:28:17
Speaker
But if you really want people to get hyped when you get to the, and again, I get it. There's heels and there's and there's faces and you got to play your persona. But if you really want people to get behind people, you just got to have a good theme song and a good fucking, like Uso, like with the Yeet, just a good thing. And the other thing with Trick, like his theme song is so great. He needs to actually move with it the whole time. Because if not, then the crowd's going to start losing interest in wanting to do that
Trick Williams: A Star in the Making
00:28:40
Speaker
too. But it doesn't matter because that song, once that beat hits you. and He hits it, yeah.
00:28:46
Speaker
You see white people saying you see you see white people say some things they never said before. i see some i mean i see some cauc of my Caucasian friends that ain't never said whoop that trick before. I'm telling you. Hey, once that... Hey, they already... hide there Whoop that trick. And they going, no, you knew it was something when, because they was just over it internationally, and they was whooping that trick. And I was like, oh, shit. Then they better keep him over. I'm not dealing with that again, man, because LA Knight had a huge one. And then after a while, like I couldn't find him.
00:29:19
Speaker
Yeah, no, LA Knight, they definitely missed the push on that one. They're going to build him back up again now. We'll talk about that. Back to Gunther real quick, I just don't believe that he deserves all these retirement matches. And in the end, that's fair I think he will win.
00:29:32
Speaker
But what does it do? What, another ring for his little Thanos shit? I don't know. I don't know. That's what it seems like. tired it. That's what it seems like. But, I mean, no one complained when Randy Orton did it. Orton's a legend.
00:29:46
Speaker
Yeah, it was legends not retiring. People were kind of just kicking people's ass. But still, it holds. i Wow. Yeah, all of your arguments are very, very persuasive.
00:29:58
Speaker
I am going to go with... I agree. I think that it would have been pointless for you to bring all of this up for Gunther. I also agree with Marr that all signs point to...
00:30:10
Speaker
styles you know, going out, especially like you said, I'm not the one that put me over the top was the tag match. Cause I didn't even think about that. Like, why did they just all of a sudden randomly give them a tag but with dragon Lee out of nowhere? Like who the fuck are these two? When did they know each other? Have they ever known each other? Did they hang out?
00:30:27
Speaker
Yeah. we know you're phenomenal tag with dragon league right y'all are both good wrestlers here go out there and be the champions like you do they even know how to speak to each other you got a redneck and a mexican i don't know i mean
00:30:42
Speaker
i'm just saying i mean aj's one of the gangster rednecks right but he's still a red still admitted redneck that's crazy Hit that like button whether watching now or on the replay. Helps everybody out in this algorithm, please, if you're watching. As well, subscribe to Ball and Buds and tap in with all of these channels here you see on the screen. All right, let's move it in. Women's Royal Rumble. So this is what we're going to do.
00:31:07
Speaker
I want everybody to obviously give any thoughts you have on it. What we're going to do first is we're going to start with winners. And I'm going to go from Jake to me. And then we're going to do ah ah
Women's Royal Rumble Predictions
00:31:20
Speaker
surprise entrances. We'll start with Mar. And then when we get to the men, we'll start with Bobby G on the other one and then me on the other one. And we're just going to little snake draft.
00:31:28
Speaker
If someone picks the person before you, you got pick someone else. All right. So that's how it's pretty simple. It's like a, I don't know, whatever, like a white elephant if it's a Christmas tree. Um, so let's go ahead and move it in. Women's Royal Rumble going to be featuring people like Asuka, Eoskai, Rhea Ripley and others, but there are some surprise entrants that could come back and the winner is up in the air. We don't know yet, ah but there are rumors out there. Obviously, um, uh, Jake, we'll start with you on this one.
00:31:59
Speaker
Uh, Asuka, mean, Asuka, uh, Women's Royal Rumble, who is your winner and what are your thoughts on this match? Okay, they need to they need to get somebody that I think was about to pop. And I hope she's in it. I'm making sure that. But she was going to pop and then she got injured.
00:32:16
Speaker
And she just came back. I think it's time to put Liv in there. I think Liv deserves the tie. She deserves a chance at her own championship run. I want Liv to get it.
00:32:28
Speaker
I think Liv is probably the best bad guy. I'm telling you right now, guys, we've seen The lovable WWE where the favorites always the winner whatever. I want to see some bad guy runs and lives a perfect opportunity. I would want live to win this. and Okay.
00:32:46
Speaker
Okay, that's why I got Liz. And she and rumors have it right now that a lot of talk has WWE wanting her to be the winner. So we'll see if that happens. they I mean, I've heard pushes against Fakur, but I'm not sure you know if that's what they actually have in mind. Mark, go ahead, my brother.
00:33:04
Speaker
hey actually like that one, Jay. Touche. Thanks. I using felt like it too. um This is going to sound wild, but they've been putting her in some good matches lately, and she's actually been doing well.
00:33:21
Speaker
actually wouldn't mind seeing Raquel Rodriguez win. Oh, big girl, the big Shekinah. Big mommy cool. Big mommy. Cool. Yes. Hey, I love that. She's been doing great work lately, bro. I've been loving, like, the last few months. She's had a yeah a great match with Rhea at Night of Champions. She's been doing well.
00:33:41
Speaker
um And I'm really just kind of going with Raquel because Jake took my kid That was a great answer, Jake. Oh, you were going with Liv, too? Dog, it makes perfect sense. Yeah, yeah. So do you think there'll be something at the end then there, like with Liv and Raquel as a Judgment Day kind of thing, do you think?
00:33:59
Speaker
Yeah, because they've kind of been playing parts on that on on their all, kind of dropping little seeds that there's going to be some kind of movement in the Judgment Day and I think it's about time to to yeah start the adjustment day go because um not only floor not only is Liv a star on her own, but I think Raquel got the possibility of at least keeping her name in contention. And let's not forget.
00:34:23
Speaker
The real true star of that women's division in that whole judgment day is actually Roxanne Perez, if we're really being quite honest. The future. they Yeah, she's the prodigy. She's the future. So got to start putting her on her own.
00:34:38
Speaker
Because I think when you introduce her, yeah, it's easy to stash in a faction, but she's too good. She's too big. So. Yeah, no, I mean, hey she is ah she is a star. um She's a little, don't get me wrong, she's a great wrestler and that's,
00:34:58
Speaker
I shouldn't say that. I'm not going to say that about the women. I'm not about those shots of women wrestlers. but ah But she's a little on the on the smaller side for my liking. I like ah i like um a more like a Raquel Rodriguez kind of type that might. But yeah, no, she is a great wrestler and she will be a champion one day anyway, so it doesn't matter. Bobby G, what are your thoughts and who is your winner?
00:35:21
Speaker
You know... they they usually give you a little hint when they do certain things. They like usually take something from somebody right before they give them something, right? And again, I'm going to go back to WrestleMania, right? ah We saw The Man, and we saw Lyra Valkyrie. I hate her gut so much. No, I'm not impressed. I'm with you. We saw them claim the women's tag team titles.
00:35:52
Speaker
And then the next night, again, we saw them lose them. And then we saw them get into a battle for the women's IC belt, right? Well, the man was just in a little back and forth for the IC belt, right?
00:36:09
Speaker
But somehow her her opponent that got tinkered with because Miss Neidhart interfered. And now ah her opponent is somehow out of the picture now.
00:36:21
Speaker
So for the Royal Rumble, I'm going to with the man. Because she has no opponent now. Okay, yeah, I like that. Their path is now clear to get back into women's championship picks. And you know what i you know what I should have asked? And also, I should have asked surprise entrance first, just because it only makes sense.
00:36:42
Speaker
Because now that I'm going to give my winner away, I'm going to give a surprise entrance away. So it really didn't make sense that I did it that way. But I didn't think about that until just now. That being said, before we go to mine, let's go. I want to find out who do you who do you have your person fighting, picking as the champion they fight at WrestleMania? Bobby G, who you who would you have for fighting?
00:37:00
Speaker
The man. oh yeah law Well, she'd clearly go with us. Yeah, she'd stay on Raw. I don't see her going SmackDown to smack down the challenge... ah What's her name?
00:37:12
Speaker
ja car Yeah, J. Cargill. They're already trying to boost up a Mighty Mouse and her. so okay Clearly, she'd go with whoever comes out out as the Raw champ.
00:37:26
Speaker
Yeah, well, I guess ah I don't know when she's going to come back healthy anyways. so Yeah. ah ah Mar, who would you have – who would you pick? I forgot. ah Raquel. Who would you have Raquel going and picking as a champion?
00:37:40
Speaker
Oh, no. Raquel's definitely taking on Stephanie. yeah That rivalry would be dope. That would be dope. That would be a good one. ah Jake, who would you have live fighting?
00:37:51
Speaker
I would say Stephanie. I think you're they're right about Jade. They're going to try and build Jade up to – try and be this dominant and iconic women's wrestler for a while there. so which and And hopefully they do it because she was not a good good guy.
00:38:06
Speaker
I mean, which is what AEW should have done that and WWE should be doing that. She has the physique of a fucking monster. She's a good wrestler. She's getting better. um So yeah, the sky's the sky' de limit for for Jake Cargill. All right. I'm not going to give my surprise entrance because, like I said, it's going to give away my or my winner cause it's going to give away my surprise entrance. Instead, I'm going to wait to see if anybody picks them.
Men's Royal Rumble Predictions
00:38:30
Speaker
Mar, we'll start with you. Who is your women's surprise entrance?
00:38:38
Speaker
I don't think I really. i think I'm going to low hanging fruit. Okay. but not the low hanging fruit as in like Trish Stratus. Give me Tori Wilson.
00:38:51
Speaker
Whoa. Okay. Did you really? Jake, you were going to say that too? That's crazy. exactly Damn. I didn't even think about her. Y'all both were thinking that. Okay. Jake, think of somebody else. Bobby T who you got as your surprise entrance. I'm looking at a video here that was posted yesterday.
00:39:09
Speaker
And in this video, you know, they're chilling on the boat, living that fabulous life. It's Rhea Ripley, Tiffany Stratton, ah Natalia Neidhart, and Bianca Belair.
00:39:23
Speaker
Bianca Belair. Let's go. yeah Yes, sir. That's who I was going to pick too. So I, I agree with you. And she's going to be my winner. I have Bianca actually winning.
00:39:35
Speaker
She makes her return. Yep. I think she makes her return and wins it. She, she needs it. They need, ah like you said, good champions and look, it's built in her and Jade right there. It's a built in feud. That will be, everybody wants to see it. WrestleMania, put it on you know, I'd love to see it 300 days, ah good days a year. I would watch that matchup. um and the other 65 probably be sleeping jake who's your special entrance okay now i of course i'd always love to see trish stratus that's my childhood just a darling everybody love trish yes uh but if i'm gonna go one i saw her recently on insta she's working out well i wouldn't uh hey
00:40:20
Speaker
her Her husband made an already an appearance back recently. She might as well make one, too. I got Sable. Really? Really? Sable? Sable? As in like Mark Merrill? Sable? No, Brock Lesnar's wife. Brock Lesnar's wife? Sable.
00:40:38
Speaker
Well, it used to be with Mark Merrill before Brock Lesnar. Well, come on, man. yeah You better respect who she's with, dude. Anybody remember Mark Merrill? Johnny B. Badd? Y'all remember Mark Merrill? Yeah, I remember him. He had the boxer. Yeah, yeah the boxer gimmick. So I'm Sable.
00:40:57
Speaker
Oh, that would be dope. I would love to see that. yeah I would love to see that. I like Sabal. Okay, that's dope. All right, cool. All right, good. Hey, i I apologize to y'all in the comments. I completely missed all these, so I apologize. But shout out to Nicole for tapping in, and as well, um a a I don't know, at a tap...
00:41:14
Speaker
and up and and add up Thank you for tuning in. We appreciate y'all. um All right, cool. Everybody hit that like button, whether watching and subscribe at Ball and Buds and tap in with everybody else here on the channel as we move in to our last one, the Men's Royal Rumble. And yeah, we're going to do it the right way this time with surprise entrance first.
00:41:36
Speaker
Bobby G, it's on you. Who is your surprise entrance for the Royal Rumble? Go silly with it. I think we need some comic relief. I'm gonna go R-Truth.
00:41:48
Speaker
oh Oh, I love it. Let's go. R-Truth gonna hop in there for like five minutes. He's gonna make the Bushwhacker cameo where he walks in and gets thrown right out. Jake, who you got? i already know who you got. I think I really already know who you got. I think I do. but Well, it can't be The Rock. I wish it was The Rock, but it can't be The Rock.
00:42:12
Speaker
But I'm going to go somewhere similar. he was on He did a podcast with Chris Van Vliet recently. He said that he would never count it out. Okay. It'd be a perfect opportunity.
00:42:23
Speaker
ah I'm going far-fetched, but I would love to see it. I want to see Stone Cold. Stone Cold Steve Austin. As long as he don't ride out on no four-wheeler. Wow!
00:42:34
Speaker
i was not. Yeah, yeah, he was drunk that time. was getting hit. That shit was hilarious. I was like, bro, you need to hit that shit on the, you're going to hit somebody. No, that was, ah wow! I did not expect that. That's out of hold the wowsers. I was not expecting that. Chris asked him, would you count out wrestling anymore? He said no.
00:42:53
Speaker
He said no. shit and a eight car some but bla stole set Yes, he did. oh Wow. Okay, damn. That's a one. Again, I didn't give me a hell. Yeah, let's go. Let's see what we got, Mar.
00:43:10
Speaker
Who you got? Maybe you got the one that Jake was going to take. I'm pretty basic, man. I'm going for the low hanging fruit. This is the the arrows are pointing to it. It's got to be some break the walls down. It's got to be yeah a gotta be some Chris Jericho. Come on, at some point, he's got to pop up, right?
00:43:33
Speaker
I mean, he has to. He has to at this point. Yeah, he has been out for so long. I actually thought that's who Jake was going to go with. I thought he was going to pick Jericho. So good. Good on you, Marv, for picking Jericho. He's definitely going to show up. Shout out to Shane Peach.
00:43:46
Speaker
Sorry you couldn't join us. um I sent you the link. If you still want to, you can, although we're about to end. But Chris Jericho says he is well. Y2K. There you go, brother. Feel better as well. And then. OK, so for my surprise entrance,
00:43:59
Speaker
i'm I'm going, i don't know. I think it's got to happen because it's already been a week or two since he was released from his contract from another company.
00:44:11
Speaker
I say this big gentleman, this, ah could we ah call him a brick? No, no, no, not a brick house.
00:44:22
Speaker
Maybe they might call him in another organization a powerhouse. Wow. Wow. Mr. Hobbs will make his WWE debut. He will face Obafemi in the middle of the ring, and the two of them will go face-to-face in what will be eventual massive match. Yes, if y'all did not know, Powerhouse Hobbs was released from his contract to AEW two weeks ago, and people expected him to be at SmackDown that first Friday, but he hasn't showed yet. So I'm thinking Royal Rumble is when he's going to make his appearance. All right. All right. And for winners, since it is my show, I'm not going to start first. I don't want to that again. Bobby G, since we went with you last, we'll start with you again. We'll give it to you. Who is your winner in the Men's Royal Rumble?
00:45:18
Speaker
Man, there's only one person who can win this Rumble, right? We already know who it is, right? We already know who it is. And his name is John Cena.
00:45:34
Speaker
then dan ah then So I actually, it's funny you did that because I actually saw somebody write that in an article. They were like, what if John Cena came out like right after he just retired? He was just like, fuck it. I need to make some Saudi money. And he just came out.
00:45:49
Speaker
Yo, people would be pissed. People would be so pissed. You came up with
00:45:58
Speaker
He would never do that. He couldn't. He would lose his own career. You remember when he did the commercial for China or North Korea whatever it was and they got on him. Don't let him mess up again. He's going be fucked.
00:46:11
Speaker
but Anyways. All right. Cool. So you got who you got, bro? Seriously, I mean, thinking that, like,
00:46:19
Speaker
there's like drew the the the love triangle on smackdown it's already set right you got drew and and hell fight two in there and uh cody and you know we'll we'll a little dash of sammy so that's sad i'm like you can't throw anybody new to mess that up so i have to go to raw and i have to go who who's gonna chase that down who makes the most sense uh or who could switch shows I mean, not like that thing matters anyways. I don't think they do. They even really adhere to that anymore.
00:46:52
Speaker
Yeah, I guess I've always hated that stupid branch switch shit. That's dumb. So stupid. I don't care. Just put them on whatever show you want to. We know you're all traveling together. fuck stupid shit.
00:47:04
Speaker
Hey, hey, my bad. what you got? yeah I know who makes the most sense for when ah you about to get scared. I'm going with my guy. I'm going with my guy.
00:47:16
Speaker
23 miles per hour. Braun Breaker, baby, gets his first. rumble. Ooh, Braun Breaker. Yes. Look, the vision came back and said that they ah might have a little plan in action. Could that mean they band together to help one of them out?
00:47:31
Speaker
Braun Breaker, Peach actually said should have been the one to take out John Cena instead of Gunther. And I completely agree with that. Braun Breaker should have been the one. And I agree with that as well. If he if he came out to you, every DC fan would be fucking pissed. They'd be like, Give me my $8,000 back. And I paid for that damn last. I don't know how much you picked paid, Pete, and we don't need to know. But I heard that those tickets were very, very expensive. um Says it better not be Sammy Zane. I heard that online. I said I heard that if he got beat by Drew, he comes back and wins the Rumble to give him the popular victory. So that could be another thing that happens. Mark, who you got?
00:48:13
Speaker
Hey, man, what are we talking about? is on There's only one simple answer. Uh-oh. It's just a road to WrestleMania. It's coming soon. That would have been perfect for the John Cena soundbite, by the way, but you missed it, Bobby. Go ahead.
00:48:29
Speaker
And his name is Roman Reigns. What are we talking about? I'm the tribal chief for around here. Yeah, you see me. Yeah, he's the only answer. right And just to give the odds on this, because I did go out and find the odds, yes. Roman Reigns is the odds-on favorite at 175. And a funny movement yesterday on BetOnline.
00:48:52
Speaker
Gunther yesterday was a 200 favorite, and today all of a sudden he is unlisted. So maybe there's some insider information some people know or whatever, but now Sami Zayn is the number two, Bron Breaker number three in the odds series. tied with Cody Rhodes. LA Knight is number five in the top five of odds.
00:49:10
Speaker
you know There you go. Jake, who you got? Well, I'll tell you who I don't want. I don't want Cody to get it again. No, I don't think anybody does. i think they're turning on him. Yeah, I don't think Cody should get it.
00:49:23
Speaker
um Man, this one hurts me. I was thinking Roman also. But... um
00:49:34
Speaker
I don't see it happening. I think who deserves it.
00:49:41
Speaker
I think they shock it. I think they shock it. And I think he's deserving of it. I think, um, uh, I think the guy that you think is the surprise guy, Y2J will get his, will get his return. I think that WWE had a promise. Cause remember he left WWE cause he had no, he had no purpose.
00:50:02
Speaker
They were putting him in the third matches in random ass smackdowns. He was tired of Random Ross. No. I think Y2J shows up. He surprises us all. He pulls a Charlotte Flair, what, two years ago when she just shows up randomly.
00:50:18
Speaker
and wins the Royal Rumble. I got Y2J. yeah Yeah, you know, I read another ah prediction sheet earlier today when I was preparing for the show, seeing what other people were saying, and someone predicted that possibly he would come back to fight CM Punk and choose CM Punk as a champion. So yeah, there you go. That would be a good fight. Wow, okay, there you go. I like that.
00:50:40
Speaker
right, cool. Well, um I am – look, to me, again, we mentioned you can't give it to Cody, right? People are turning on him. You can't give it to Jay again after last year. Fatou is hot. I would think Fatou would definitely be a candidate. You can't give it to Lesnar either. People would be turning. on that as well and it's not needed he's already got it that set I think the same thing with Roman Reigns I don't think he really needs it either although he's very popular in Saudi Arabia are probably second most popular to Sami Zayn so he could get it on a popularity thing Ron Breaker I like that one because he's the one him and Fatou to me seem to be the ones that need the push the most at this point because they're on teetering on that edge of being you know complete breakthrough superstars um
00:51:22
Speaker
And the one other person I really think needs to be pushed, and I saw someone say this, so I'm going to give them the credit on on ah YouTube. Shout out Simon Miller.
00:51:33
Speaker
I'm sure you all have heard of him from WhatCulture and does the ups and downs and stuff. He was saying that Obafemi might have a chance to break Brock Lesnar's record for most people thrown out, which is 14, which i could I could see them possibly doing that. He needs to have a really good showing, and I could see them giving him.
00:51:52
Speaker
the surprise win as well. um This is hard. This is hard.
00:52:01
Speaker
I don't want to do the same as everybody can't do the same as everybody else. I made up that rule. So, um damn, I put myself in a corner now because I kind of want to agree with Bron Breaker, but I can't now. I am going to go with, you know what?
00:52:14
Speaker
I'm going to go with Shock the World. Obafemi comes in, maybe like 25, entrant 25, throws a bunch of people out, final four with a couple people and just monsters everybody. That's what I'm going to go with because I want to see it. Because Obafemi is an absolute superstar in the Macy's debut at the Rumble.
00:52:33
Speaker
but By the time he gets through the ring, it's going to time for the next dude to come in. That's a good one. But tell me that entrance ain't, yo. The crowd be getting
00:52:48
Speaker
hyped. They be i for me a very du like, I feel like a Nigerian warrior. I'm just like in my living room. Like, no, no, I hear that. That's, that's great. No, all awesome choices. I'm glad we all were thinking pretty differently, except a couple of picks there. That's pretty good. um Any final thoughts on the rumble this weekend, gentlemen? Any other things we didn't talk about?
00:53:14
Speaker
I just want a good i want a good run. i don't want a bad road to WrestleMania. I'm sorry. Jay failed last year for me. I don't want to see that again. Speaking of, Jake, are you you're close. Are you going to WrestleMania?
00:53:28
Speaker
No, I wish, man. There they are. Now, are they going to keep doing this to us? Are they going to put it in Vegas every year? No, I don't think so. They just went back and back. made It made easier sense.
00:53:42
Speaker
After they took it away from New Orleans, they needed a rally or something real quick. And that was bullshit because that's the one I was going to go to because it was close. It's not means I got to make a trip to Vegas. I will be there. I'm actually looking at my flights right now and a hotel possible Airbnb. I'm going to meet up with Wild Car Mar and Bobby G and we're going to have a good time. And Bobby, are you going to the actual wrestling event?
00:54:09
Speaker
Unknown yet. I'm thinking about it. i'm thinking i was I was actually looking at tickets yesterday, but I mean, hey, you know, we'll all chit chat about it. here See if we can work something out. Yes. Yes, definitely. And yeah, I'll be there. I'm buying my tickets this week. So or my plane ticket, at least, because I know, Mar, you said you got a secret little way to get some.
00:54:27
Speaker

And Saturday cuts all of us for our big, huge Super Bowl super preview. Yes, you will see all four of us and others that you saw in the season at the season preview from the beginning of the season. So we'll have a bunch of other people on as well. Saturday. Right now, we're thinking the best time is to go after the Rumble. Seems like that time pretty much works for everybody. So 6 Eastern is what we are thinking right now on Saturday. That could move to 7 Eastern, could move to 5 Eastern, but it will be around that time frame. Probably 6 Eastern sounds best just to let WWE Royal Rumble get out of the way because we do want to watch that. Marr may also be doing a live stream, so make sure you subscribe to Wildcard Marr's channel in case he does that. Tap the notification bell on all these channels so you're notified when we do go live.
