These pro wrestling grappler are fancy!! Jeff Chris thank you yeah sorry about that last time sorry man thanks grace oh sorry scoops early this week hello hi Adam its kayfabe news is flipping marks here remember to subscribe I got your number from Lewis scoops yeah I know who you are mark you that guy from kayfabe news what are you calling me for have you got a story wait it’s about my car well no I know what happens at that WWE pay-per-view was gold payback backlash backpack backpack WWE backpack I can guarantee you that Michael Cole will say something historic has gone down this evening now technically he is correct because that’s just the nature of time everything is historic even what I’m doing now but it still seems somewhat hyperbolic yeah thanks May I appreciate that but that’s not strictly speaking actually ever I was gone he’s gone that’s good yep don’t you buy our internet that’s normal perfectly normal great do it myself shall i hello there everybody whoa culture wrestling’s adam clear here welcome back to our most bankable source of pre pay per view hits you’re right this is a nice new jacket last-minute rumors classic champions this weekend which is the WWE pay-per-view which has the unique gimmick of every single title must be defended so we’ve got the universal championship for every championship the Royal Women’s Championship the SmackDown Women’s Championship the raw Tag Team Championship the SmackDown Tag Team Championship the Intercontinental Championship the United States Championship the European Championship the 24/7 championship the NXT UK Women’s Championship the other one the Million Dollar I don’t know everything everything’s on the line and because they have a million championships that means they’re gonna have to have a million matches which means there are a million possibilities for interesting things that could happen and as you know well by now the Internet’s cup it runneth over with ideas and speculation and rumor and tattle-tale and gossip and all that stuff so I quite neatly compact it all into one easily digestible video for you to swallow whole with glass of water so without any further ado because it is Friday afternoon and I am gagging for a pint my name is Adam Cleary this is the wrestling rumors Advisory Board and these are all the last-minute WWE clash of Champions rumors you need to know number eight Dolph Ziggler and Bobby Roode win the tag titles look I remember – I remember – move over yeah one thing that kind of came out of nowhere late he was this emergence of Bobby Roode and Dolph Ziggler is a unlikely tag-team two men who kind of struggled in the singles market as of late we just throw it together for the big number one contender’s much and then lo and behold they actually won it later transpired that was because Paul Heyman really likes Bobby Roode and wanted to give him something to do rather than just getting beat even weird estilo with the fact that he just jumped straight to the front of the queue for the raw tag team titles and won that match on the first time out and got this match against Rollins and strowman at this pay-per-view which is even weirder still when you think that they probably almost definitely have to lose that match so whoever wins and the more contenders match probably wins the tag titles it was all of it just era nhoa and those all talk backstage they are still committed to this plant and verse it will be Bobby Roode and Dolph Ziggler walking away with the tag titles even though they haven’t really got a tag team name yet they have I missed that I liked Rudolph personally but I can’t see them going with that anyway how they actually win these titles we will get to in a hot minute no I said burn them down first am i right guys two blokes just thrown together winning the tag titles like I never it should have been an actual tag team number seven the braun strowman he’ll turn yeah so about that tag team title change at some point in the evening settled into a face braun strowman for the dhobi w/e universal championship and as that stands right now that is exporting contest between two men with a great little respect for each other both our faces on Monday Night Raw we’re just gonna get this there’s little contest between the two of them see who is truly deserving of being a top dog it’s nuanced it’s it’s clever it’s smart it gives the audience a lot of credit God’s WWE you don’t do nuance and they don’t do clever and they don’t do giving the audience a lot of credit what they like to do is take a story and just chew it up themselves and then dribble it back down your mouth after after they’ve made it all go warm and mushy so what they’re gonna do here is turn one of these two men heal because you can’t be trusted to invest in a match if you don’t know there’s a body and you don’t know who’s a goodie and I just mean look at the pair of them who do you think will be the body here thus all conventional WWE booking logic says that strowman will just beat Rollins to a pulp after the match because he blames him for the loss and you’ll sit there and you’d be like oh no I support Seth Rollins now because he’s all hurting because the big bathroom around so I’m gonna cheer for him and do you know what I’m so disappointed in that braun strowman character being such a bad loser I’m gonna boo him now as well that’s not gonna happen at all and it’s a massive shame because face strowman is one of the best things on Monday Night Raw so there you go chuck it all the way for one match not if Seth burns and strowman would have to nonce Farrell to look like a bigger dick than Seth Rollins number six Bray Wyatt interferes in the main event all right I’ve said my piece on this but it’s still way way way wait wait wait wait wait way too soon to be putting the fiend into the universal title picture because right now you’ve got a you’ve got a face champion who should be embarking upon a run of critically acclaimed and varied matches and you’ve also got lightning in a bottle with Bray Wyatt return so you put them together when they both feel like they need freshening up because that’s an unlikely match up why would this creature be interested in the title but Rollins has beaten everybody else that is when you put them together maybe next year’s WrestleMania is when you do it not the first available opportunity but anyway I’m absolutely sick of talking about it we know what we’re led to believe anyway that we’re getting Bray Wyatt challenging the winner of this match at Hell in a Cell and if the posters for the upcoming house shows between Carter champions and Hell in a Cell are anything to go by and spoiler they are that’s still going to be Seth Rollins by this point and of course as hot as WWE are on this character they’re unlikely to throw them into some random number one contendership match because i just kind of dim his or a little bit we just got to kind of work his way through regular other wrestlers so you have him appear in this match you have to give him a reason to challenge Rollins beyond simply hey it’s my turn and not to turn this video into just a big list of things I think will happen but try this on for size rollins and strowman lose the tag team titles then strowman blames rollins and beats him up four and Rollins comes down all wounded being this limping underdog babyface and then strowman toys with him and throws him around it looks for all the world that he’s gonna win and then the fiend appears and saves Rollins but the match gets thrown out in the process and the fiend sets some spooky gibberish like your soul and your title are now forfeit to me and then challenges him at Hell in a Cell and that’s how you get I say get from point A to point C via point mare not saying that’s definitely gonna happen but you can add me on Monday morning if it doesn’t know if that burns them down am i right guys if it doesn’t work smash it with a hammer which is apparently Triple H’s strategy throughout the reign of terror maybe instead of using the heard glove it could use the heal glove and make it so that Seth Rollins isn’t a massive dork number five Sasha banks wins yes I sort of booked themselves into a corner with a swan navin a burgers finally finally finally after natalia and lacey evans my god I rose to death Becky Lynch finally gets a challenger who feels worthy of her and the wrong Women’s Champion someone who is on her level and gives us a spectacle match that can prove without a shadow of a doubt that she is the best in the company now that Rhonda has left and then conversely on the other side Sasha banks return has been so hot that you can’t really have a lose her first big match back but a and B cannot both be true come Monday morning either Lynch’s reign is gonna end with her first major test meaning it was all a complete waste of time or Banks’s heat upon a return is just gonna in the steam the first time she gets a challenge so one of these two is gonna be at a crossroads with their booking after this because where do they go where do they go so you got to pick one of them haven’t you in WWE absolutely my love’s its short-term thinking on even shorter term booking so banks seeming like the hotter commodity at the moment you would expect her to go on to win plus and I hate 8888 making these rumor videos about cooking odds but of all the matches that are very close in the odds this one is the most variable some places say banks some places say Lynch which means that whoever is the insider for these companies is being non-committal on the result ago the conversation is being hard no if Becky burns her down first am i right guy smash you’re facing Sasha shouldn’t win for crying out loud neva Becky challenges Stephanie McMahon this one’s just sort of come out of nowhere the last few days the suggestion that if Becky Lynch loses the Royal Women’s Championship then she will go on to challenge Stephanie McMahon which does simultaneously make a mockery of me just saying well I wonder where the loser of this match could possibly go but also at the same time absolutely confirmed that there is nowhere really for the loser of this match to go but the thing is it’s not as ridiculous as it might sound or seem or look or everything about your soul tells you that it is because Becky Lynch has challenged Stephanie McMahon on a number of occasions over the last yeah she constantly calls her out on social media whenever they’ve done things in the ring ahead of WrestleMania she has always made a point of saying that she wants to fight her including literally this week with this tweet any more thoughts on fighting me in front of lots of people that’s not my best accent admittedly there was even a pointed little job at the authority during a promo on Monday Night Raw this week she was talking about how everything with sasha banks has going for every advantage she’s had in her career she should be the one that’s made history and changed the game but no it’s actually Lynch and then she kind of went after the company a bit she was saying that you were handed main events and pay-per-view matches what I couldn’t get on TV and this company this company even gave you bouquets of flowers after your matches that does kind of feel that her problem isn’t with banks but it’s with dare I say it the authority so given that nobody would really want another rematch out of all this because rematches are so boring if you lose you tell should go to the back of the queue wife wife wife just wife right wife Becky Lynch decides to fix the problem as a whole rather than the problem in front of her well if she goes after the company what if she goes after Stephanie all right I can’t see anything but you never know now that’s what I’m talking about when I say burn it down point stuff out on Twitter look at you into trouble with the higher-ups that’s your boyfriend about that first big match huge I can see the tagline right now it’s the man versus the unbearable number three Brian is the mastermind behind Rowan is anybody has anybody actually anybody actually buying this one are they a man who WWE have never ever ever ever ever been convinced on as a single star because he was just in a cult and he left the cult you went back to the cult and you left the cult you went back to the cult then you left the cult and you started a tag team with the guy he was in the cult with and then he left that disappeared for ages then came back as just the muscle in someone else’s main event room not a single push that is it for this two genuine be the start of a big Erick Rowan run on the main roster he would have to go over both Roman reigns and Daniel Bryan in a way in this story which is basically the equivalent of Mason Ryan turning his back on CM Punk in 2011 and beating him and John Cena on his way to intercontinental Tyler Rome that’s that’s what this is shaping up to be the biggest tell about all of this is that they are still leaving all the money on the table for a Roman reigns versus Daniel Bryan March at a big pay-per-view hell maybe even a match at Hell in a Cell for example and the only way you can generate the necessary heat required to rekindle this whole disastrous oh my god who pushed the box over storyline they’ve been doing is if there is a further level of betrayal and it actually turns out that Daniel Bryan is the mastermind behind all of this and he’s just gonna deck Romek sorry so what’s that what’s that or they’ve made it a No Disqualification match so literally anybody else could get involved if they wanted to well Wow wonder what’s going to happen there but just be calm you hate lying fickle this is my surprised face Daniel didn’t smoke the prototype for that story line number two all Rowan just actually wins I mean this kind of worth pointing out the other side of this is that it’s all to be taken at face value and he has genuinely turned his back on Daniel Bryan and they are genuinely about to push him into your singles road and in order to do that he would have to beat Roman reigns because otherwise you’d just kill it on launch and to be fair to be fair to be fair the reason a lot of people are speculating this might happen is because really like with everything that’s happened with this storyline with the doppelganger and then with buddy Murphy and then with everything else with this would this genuinely be the weirdest part of this whole angle would it even be in the top five no but it’s role menu’ spluttered the guy came back from the old the horrible nurse and then there’s one pretty much consistently ever since he’s come by it’s not going to get buried at the hands of eric rowan but to you i say how else do you do it you’ve not ever made eric rowan feel like a viable single star or even a viable part of his own storyline here so how else do you get him over than a just huge big upset victory and this would be a huge big this would be the big huge upset victory of the year Shirley how else do you do it if not like that answers on a postcard and I will just say again I hate mentioning betting odds in all this but one or two places seem to think this is what’s going down not everywhere and everywhere that doesn’t seems to think it’s really strongly the other way but one or two places think they’ve heard something so Eric we’ll all of the people Rowan a small deciduous tree of the rose family with compound leaves white flowers and red berries don’t have that cleared it up Oh twin magic without belen from the other week of it a great indictment of my sense of humor I heard the exact same number won the WWE Championship match gets thrown out there is no way on God’s green earth that the Kofi Kingston Randy Orton storyline is ending at cosh of Champions there is no way in this putrid collapsing dying cesspit we call a home that this March is anything other than a catastrophic meeting honesty thing right after everything everything this feuds been so far everything we’ve mentioned everything that’s gone on did we just get a singles match a one-on-one match in which the best wrestler wins and then they move on with the belt and the other person moves on to another story don’t you think is that what you think idiot and credit where it’s due to WWE they are no longer giving us rematches for the sake of giving us rematches or ace they’re trying not to anyway but still whatever would follow this match would just be a rematch of this match if it’s got the same to you guys in it too the only way you make the rematch of this match not feel like a rematch of this match is if you never actually have the match to rematch in the first place match and given what an absolute mess this always ends up being with the new day and rkf TR k WTF RK o TF then there’s every chance they could just have a big professor gangbang there but a big old fight couldn’t they get stuck it’s gonna happen isn’t it we know what the revival are gonna end up in this March and we know that new they’re gonna end up in this match even though they’re wrestling each other earlier on the card so just have the whole thing just degenerate into a DQ finish throw it out and then put them in Hell in a Cell where nobody can interfere that’s that’s the logical way you book this and as I’ve always said hash tag it’s really easy to book WWE know it’s s burns them down God Kofi Kingston’s you’re making me watch another match against Randy on come on let’s go see you n girl thank God and do after a few minutes because a Randy Orton match takes longer then Jerry Lawler does to get hard for a third year old woman [Music] so when I say so yes they have it those are all the rumors during the rounds on the internet that I either read or somebody sent to me and I put down in an article which you can read on what culture calm right now then converted this how do you
