00:00Alright, uh, WWE Raw, let's get into it.

00:08A big, big moment at the end, but just a couple of other notes, we're not gonna go like

00:13beat by beat for this whole thing.

00:15I have loved this last part of the CM Punk-Drew McIntyre build.

00:19I get some people didn't like the bracelet stuff, I thought for as cheesy as it was,

00:25they played it up very well, and I think both characters act believably around it,

00:31and so that has really, I think, done a good job of getting us to this point.

00:36And now that they are at this point, they are hitting it out of the park.

00:40They have, I think, conveyed the seriousness, and shown proper hesitancy, while also being

00:46confident and kind of feeling like they have to do this.

00:49Both guys have said, my families don't want me to do this.

00:51CM Punk is like, I probably don't even have another Hell in a Cell match in me.

00:54Drew McIntyre saying, like, I have had back injuries, he didn't say that directly, but

00:58I have had injuries there that have never been fixed, which apparently is true.

01:02So they have done a good job of really driving home how serious this is, how this makes no

01:10sense for them, but they have to do it, because that guy is standing over there, and this

01:15is the only way that we can end this thing, is by me beating him, or by me figuring out

01:20that I can't beat him in this thing.

01:22That this is the only place for this to end, even though it is not where I want to be.

01:27And I think that this has really, really gotten over the seriousness of the structure in a

01:34very incredible way.

01:36And I have loved it.

01:37I love that it feels a little bit more organic, even though we all kind of figured Bad Blood,

01:41um, this, you know, Hell in a Cell was born at Bad Blood, and this is also just kind of

01:47the time when Hell in a Cell was happening anyway, but because it's not called Hell

01:51in a Cell, it doesn't feel as forced, and it just, it feels more legitimate, and it

01:55feels very serious, and it feels like, oh, this is the only way that this could, um,

02:02this was the only way that this could finish, is by Hell in a Cell, and it's not just, oh,

02:06this popped up.

02:07Uh, Braun Strowman against Bronson Reed, this might be the feud of the year.

02:10These guys have been unbelievable in just wild, chaotic, car crash, literally and figuratively,

02:16uh, television, all throughout this feud.

02:19It's been amazing.

02:20And now, Last Monster Standing, I would imagine we get the ring exploding on Monday, um, that,

02:25that's a whole lot of fun, um, but this, it's just, it has been some good old-fashioned

02:29fun in the WWE.

02:31And then, how can you not be happy for Jey Uso?

02:33Him getting the Intercontinental Championship, that reaction, massive.

02:38You want to talk about, like, getting over and being made, Monday night, that was it.

02:43He was 100% that in this.

02:46It was a phenomenal performance, and, um, the crowd fully into it.

02:52I, like, the match itself, it was fun.

02:54It was good.

02:55Um, it was surprising to have him take the belt off of Braun Breaker, um, I kind of thought

02:59Braun was settling in for a really long title run, but I also don't think that this knocks

03:04Braun Breaker down any, right?

03:06Like, I, I think that he is now kind of established as a real, like, ass-kicker type of a guy,

03:14and I think they have done a good job of legitimizing him.

03:17And there's going to be a rematch here, but I do think also, if now Jey kind of gets caught

03:22up in this swirling storm heading towards Vancouver of, uh, war games, and the Roman

03:30Reigns stuff, I think this also kind of ties in to what Cody was talking about when they

03:35did the thing at, where Georgia Tech plays football, um, where Cody was like, hey, there's

03:42a tribal chief, it's not you.

03:44There's a WWE champion, it's not you.

03:47And now you can also say, like, hey, Jey is main event Jey Uso without you, and he won

03:53his first singles title without you.

03:56And so there's all of these things that I think you can get kind of excited about and,

04:01um, build this up in that type of a storyline, and I think make it very impactful.

04:07And so I think it matches, it fits into that one as well.

04:11But overall, the Intercontinental title picture is so fun.

04:14I have really liked how they've done it on Raw.

04:17Um, I've said before, like, one of my main issues for the last little bit was like, everything

04:22built up to WrestleMania perfectly.

04:25But it felt like everything had to finish at WrestleMania, right?

04:29And I get that it is, it's the new, it's the new season out of WrestleMania, and so it's

04:33the season finale.

04:34And it was just like, oh, we can't, Gunther can only lose the Intercontinental title at

04:38WrestleMania.

04:39Well, Roman Reigns, like, he can only lose the belt at WrestleMania.

04:42Cody can only win the belt at WrestleMania.

04:44Sammy can only win the Intercontinental title at WrestleMania.

04:46What, are you going to take him off of it somewhere else?

04:49No, not a chance.

04:50Can't do that.

04:51Like, all these different things, there was but one place that it could happen, and that

04:55was WrestleMania.

04:56And so I like that they've kind of gotten away from that formula now.

04:59Have it be on a random Raw, on a Monday night, in wherever the fuck they were, Ontario, California.

05:04I don't think you need to have world title changes, but at Bad Blood, maybe we get a

05:09women's title change.

05:10Like, it doesn't all have to be just WrestleMania, or just SummerSlam, for title changes to happen,

05:17and so I hope this is a bit more of a sign of things to come.

05:20Like, you still have to have special things for those big shows, but it doesn't all just

05:24have to be, well, this guy got beat for the first time, this guy got beat for the first

05:27time, this guy lost the title, this guy lost the title, this guy lost the title.

05:30Every big moment just happened at WrestleMania, and the rest of the year you don't really

05:33have to pay attention to.

05:34I think they've done a good job with that, but like I said, overall, the icy title picture

05:39is really strong right now.

05:40And building off of that tree from WrestleMania, like we talked about, Gunther reestablishes

05:47the prestige of the Intercontinental Championship.

05:50And from that, Sami Zayn, who maybe they dropped the ball on, his post-WrestleMania win with

05:57Kevin Owens against The Usos at WrestleMania 39 was not the strongest, but they rehabilitated

06:03him and got him back into a upper midcard toward the main event status with that Intercontinental

06:09Championship win.

06:10From there, Gunther spins off to the title picture, and he's been excellent, and now

06:15is the champion.

06:16The Sami Zayn part of this, I guess, Intercontinental title tree, Sami Zayn goes off in feuds with

06:22Chad Gable, legitimizing Chad Gable with a couple of amazing matches and a really good

06:27heel turn against Sami Zayn out in Montreal.

06:31From there, Sami and Jey Uso kind of, you know, build that relationship back up, while

06:36Chad Gable elevates now the awfully named American Maid, or whatever it is.

06:43But now he's in a feud with The Wyatt Six, and that feels like a bigger thing.

06:47So we've now elevated a couple of things, and then Sami Zayn goes into a feud with Braun

06:50Breaker, and because still the Intercontinental title feels important, Braun Breaker winning

06:54it eventually feels important.

06:57And so he gets elevated in this whole thing, and now you have Jey.

07:00But also, Braun Breaker, that Fatal 4-Way here in Calgary, where Braun is going around

07:03and talking shit to every person in that Fatal 4-Way, made him feel like the asshole bully

07:09jock in high school, um, but also gave him a bit of a swagger and a bit of an air to

07:13him.

07:14That was really, really great.

07:15And, I think, again, elevates him, and it made everyone else in that feel like, okay,

07:20there is something going on with him and this guy, and that's what this is going to be.

07:24So, they have done a great job of going from the Gunther run to now building up a number

07:30of these guys, to the point where Sami Zayn eventually is going to get a title shot, and

07:35is going to legitimately feel like he could potentially be a threat for that title.

07:40So I think they've done some really great work over there on Monday Night Raw.

07:43SmackDown's been a little blah lately, for sure.
