AEW’s Injury Crisis, More Jericho Rumors & Clash in Paris Preview! | The Still Real to Us Show | Episode #811 – 08/28/25

0:00 It's still. Welcome, everybody. Welcome to this week's edition The Sorilla Show. Epis number eight and eleven for August twenty eight, twenty twenty five issue WWE Flash in Paris Preview and Predictions edition of s R Team You. I am one half of the show. I am Jeff Peckner, typically joined by my coast the only doctor Gray Franklin. I am writing Shotgun once again, my friends, Welcome, one and all to this week's edition of SR T You. Unfortunately, Doctor Trey unable to make it to this week's edition the show, as well as the Patreon exclusive show that we will be doing that'll drop on Friday. Unfortunately, he had a death in the family. His wife's grandfather passed away. We wish, obviously he and his family all the best during these tough times and let them know obviously that our thoughts and prayers are with them. He did send over his Clash in Paris predictions for the show, which is in typical Doctor Trey fashion. But he is with the family this week, and rightfully so that's where we want him to be, is spending time with the family during these times.

1:26 Lots to discuss here on this week's dish of the show will highlight everything from aw Forbidden, Dora NX, heat Wave, the latest on Chris Jericho, some tough times for will Os, Brace for Strickland, a match that make go Down is like the greatest match in the history of this show, and then we'll preview and predict w WE Clash in Paris all on this week's edition of sr TU. I would be remissed if I didn't mention patreon dot com slash SRTU podcast. Thank you everybody who is a subscriber and supporter of the show that way. That is a way that you could support the podcast, how the podcast grow community and continue to grow as an entity as well.

2:06 We will be doing a viewers choice podcast all for the very first time, exclusive on Patreon, and that will be fantasy booking a nine match WWWE versus AW card without going completely Champion versus Champion route if you were okay, if we'd like to and that came to us from subscriber over at Patreon, good friend EJ. Reid. We'll be doing that up over at patreon dot com Slash SRTU podcast that will be dropping on Friday over at the Patreon page so go subscribe support SRTU. With that said, let's get into Forbidden Door. Some of the highlights from the show. It was a record breaking crowd at the O two Arena with nearly nineteen thousand fans. The lights out Steak Steel Cage main event saw Darby, Allen, Osprey, Tana Hashing, the Golden Levers, beating Moxley's Death Riders and the Young Bucks. The postmatch Attack wrote all off will ospray for surgery. We will cover that in a little bit.

3:04 Hangman out of page retains against the retained the AW World title against MJF in a gritty fashion because it's go. Katta retains the United Unitified Unified title over ser Strickland. Tony Storm retains the women's settle over Athena Brodido shocked the world and win the AW Attack Team Championship. We had big surprises Wardlow returning align with the Don Calls family, Jamie Hayder returning to a huge pop, and then some takeaways down Coll's family continues to dominate the Death Riders. They are creating chaos. Hangman's raid remains strong and now Osprey's absence looms large. We will delve very deep into that will Osprey injury and surgery in just a little bit.

3:45 But another very solid performance from all the wrestling forbidden to her this past Sunday. I have been very, very happy with the AW product as of late. Loved the Dynamite at twenty three hundred Arena AKAW Arena this past Wednesday. That is the closest setup I've seen to an actual like ECW arena type setup, and I'm almost positive Tony Kahn did that purposely because he is an ECW fan. He mentions, you know, he went to an ECW show way back in the day, and I grew up on ECW. It was really cool to see really great arena, a totally different viewer experience than the one that we saw almost a year ago when NXT was there. That NXT show and the twenty three hundred arena did not have the same energy and juice and look and feel as the AW show did. I like that AW is just putting their head down and just working and doing good shows.

4:47 That's the type of AW I like. I don't like the AW that gets into the weeds and they got to like battle stuff on the internet or wage war with we That type of stuff is not for me. We've talked about it on the PODCAS. I like that they're just kind of hull hum aligning themselves while Wwey's being dicks and like putting their shows on at the same time as them. With NXC heat Wave that was took place over the weekend, They're doing with the rest of Palooza next month, and that's what I'd like to see. I would just prefer that each one of these wrestling promotions just kind of stay in their own lane. And you know, as I was watching the show on Sunday and then carried over on Wednesday, Mike Man AW has had some really good stretches here. I think the only period of time that I was like, I'm concerned AW is getting back into their rough patch was when they did those shows after all in where it looked for anybody who is a Disney World fan hopefully you get this reference. If not, look up the Mexico Pavilion in Epcot, and it looked like they were performing in like the Mexico Pavilion in Epcot or the Germany Pavilion in Epcott.

5:56 It looked like they were It was the shows in Choko where it looked like they were performing at like I don't know, like with those like dinners, everybody goes around and the nights perform and they are on horses and one side wins and all that crap. I can't really think of it at the moment, like that's what it looked medieval times. That's what it is. It looks like a medieval times venue. They were performing them like this is not a good look, and they had a couple of stretches where collisions were not good. But they've been on a really good swing and I'm excited to see where collision lands at the twenty one three hundred arena. I dig that they're doing these residencies. I like that they got back to smaller crowds, smaller venues because when they were doing the larger crowds, when there wasn't a lot of fans in attendance, it was very visibly noticeable and the crowd reactions were awful. This is a little bit better cup of tea for me as a fan.

6:50 I don't think aw ever reaches the heights of we and that is totally fine. I think they're probably like a step or two above like a TNA where they have the financial backing and they have like really solid star power to carry them and good relationships like New Japan. It's basically doing like the two thousands TNA better than TNA did, and that's okay. There is a certainly a spot for that as well. So very solid weekend with Forbidden Door, Love the shows at the twenty three hundred Arena and I'm looking forward to more and just continues a really really good swing for aw as of late. As for NXC heat Wave, which also came from a Neworker Wrestling Navino Arena in Lowell, Massachusetts, you had Obafemi defeating Javon Evans to retain the NXT Championship. Then he was confronted by Ricky Saints post match, and how Ricky Saints is their rolling contender. Lolavice wins Summer Rock Contenders match for the NXT Women's title. Dark Safety Throne hankin Tech to become the new NXC Tech Team champions. Ashby Elegance wins the TNA Knockout title in a walld trip with Threat, also with a controversial finish. Blake Monroe beats Jordan Grace in a brutal undercard war, Chelsea Greeneathan Page pick up a mixed tag win with outside help, and there's some rumblings that this act may carry over to the Man Roster, which I'm excited for Ethan Page, very talented guy. And then it just some cross brand buzz. Obviously, the TENNA Knockouts Championship was featured in an NXT show, showing the WATNA partnership in action and rightfully putting the title back on a t and a talent, which is

8:20 where it should be. I don't know, disrespect to Trick Williams and j C Jane, I don't know if they've elevated the title and or elevated the title and pass sense for JC Jane. I think putting the champions on the brand, on the NXT brand and giving them the spotlights has certainly helped elevate people's awareness for TNA. So I thought XAL heat Wave was a very like solid NXC show. It was just a little over the two hour mark. I didn't think it was anything special. I didn't think it was anything bad. I just thought it was a very very solid show and not as comparably entertaining and as fun as Forbidden Door was which had a little bit more pay per view feel given them the arena they were in and the attendance that they had, while NXC Heat Wave again was just like this special Satura or Sunday night edition of NXC Television in Lowell, Massachusetts.

9:12 So solid weekend of wrestling. Highly recommend anybody who has Knock Gone Out and watch either show to check it out. There's obviously tons of good, not a lot of bad, and it was just a fun weekend for wrestling fans. Again, I'd prefer that nxt W does not run the same weekends as AW. I think there is plenty to go around and there is no need to put counter programming on. I can enjoy all of them, folks, so let's set the tribalism bullshit. We have an update to the story where sources expect Chris Jerico have signed a w deal when his AW contract finishes. After we'd recorded the podcast last week, Wressell Votes reported that there is a significant amount of interest in Chris Jerico returning w when his AW contract comes up, with several in W, including active wrestlers, wanting him to return. A source expects AWE deal to be completed for him when his AW contract finishes. When wressell votes speaks, everybody listens, and that is basically gospel.

10:13 So I fully expect that Chris Jericho will be returning to World Wrestling Entertainment in twenty twenty six, which is mind blowing. And I know Tony Kahn had some comments on the conference call for Roh Death before dishonor where he said something, if he has the opportunity to work with like Chris Jericho again, he would love to, so kind of foreshadowing maybe or not really answering the question, but nonetheless rust of Bote saying he is WWE bound, which is basically slam dunk. Folks rest and observers reporting that the only thing heard from w W regarding Chris Jericho is that they expect him to come back to the company. They also report that there are those in AW who believe that Chris Jericho is not going to be back and will start in w as a royal rumble surprise. So you have like the BESTE source in wrestle boats saying that Chris Jericho is w bound, and you have the best AW source in Wrestling Reserver newsletter Dave Meltzer saying that AW expects him to go to WE.

11:11 So here we are August twenty eighth. I would expect come late January early February twenty twenty six. Chris Jericho is back in w W, which is mind blowing. I think we really dug into it last week about how I never thought I would see this happen at best maybe w Hall of Famer induction. I did not think Chris Jericho would wrestle a match again, And here here we are, and it's just now, how do they book him basically with the talent roster they have? I mean, who do you look at as someone that would fit the mold as having that Christ Jericho match, because he's going to have a match at WrestleMania that's here in Las Vegas. Here he'd returned to the company. Is it seth Rollins? Probably not Gunther? That would be pretty interesting.

12:00 I may be here for all that with a Gunther match. Would a Roman reigned Jericho match do it? For me? No? Punk Jericho? No, unless they kind of can talk about the AW stuff, which why would they talk about AW stuff in a WE angle? Would they do Jericho Cody? Maybe it's kind of a bummer because I think Jericho is coming back to WE like a year or two late, because I would have loved to see in Jericho Seena match one last time. They had a really really good feud in the late two thousands that helped put scene on the map like an six seven ish timeframe when Jericho started doing that really great heel run where he didn't like pulled all of his merchandise, barely spoke all that much and it was very monotone, had a great feud with the seaw Michaels, a match with Shaw Michaels and Allata match at No Mercy. So yeah, it's just like, okay, cool, Jericho's back. But what does he got to do? Does he want to help out in NXC, does he want to commentate? Is he doing this for his Hollywood ambitions?

13:03 I would love to know And I can't wait to read the book someday as to why Chris Jericho decided now is the time to leave AW and go back to WWE, because he was like adamant that he would not return to w and AW was the place to bay for him. So some very very very credible sources adding some more fuel to the fire. That is Chris Jericho expected to sign AW once his AW contract finishes this year, which is obviously earth shadowing news. I don't think it hurts AW at all. I think the AW product he hasn't been around for four or five months now already. I don't think they're hurting without him. I think the direction of AW has certainly changed, and it's totally fine with it. I'm fine with it, and Jericho ending his career in WE I am fine with as well.

13:47 So I think it's a great move all around for all promotions. I think it's a great move for Chris Jericho as well. As it would appear, this is going to be something really to keep an eye out for in twenty twenty six of Chris Jericho returning to World Wrestling Entertainment. Now in regard to subtractions from the AW roster that I think that are going to hit the company very, very hard. That is will Ospray and Swerve Strickland's recent injuries. It could not have come at a worse time, so will Ospray. They obviously wrote him off at the end of for Benden Door. He is due for next surgery. He could be out I'm reading for potentially over a year, like anywhere between between twelve to fifteen months, and Swarve Strickland had They also wrote him off at for benin Door with the chair shots from Cazichio Coatta to his knee. He has been battling a torn meniscus reportedly since twenty nineteen when he was performing at the WA Performance Center and has been working ever since, and now is time to get that repaired. He had surgery.

14:50 He posted that on his Instagram story on Wednesday. His knee wrapped up coming out of meniscus surgery. So I don't know how long that may take, maybe three to six months, but we're going like the rest of this year now without will ospraying sort of Strickland, who are definitely my top five favorite people to watch in AW. I think I really enjoy watching Osprey, Strickland, Hangman, MJF. And I would probably say right now, Mark Burscow, I'm all in on the Mark Briscoe stuff. Would love to see more of Darby, big fan of Darby, but he's just kind of getting his way back into the day to day regular operations that is AW. I thought what I loved what AW has been doing lately, and this is something I've been really was like banging the desk on last year when they were when they changed direction and got away from really focusing on the people that the fans had connections with, and that is Osprey, Swerve and Hangman. No wrestlers have better connections than those three, I feel like from the AW standpoint, and also they were dealing with like MGF was out with injury at that point, Adam Colehead his injury issues. It was just very, very bad. So now they've been on this upswing, Ospray and Swerve had been playing major roles in that upswing, and now here we are that at least for one of them, it's going to be potentially considerable amount of time and no estimated timetable on Swarb Strickland, And it

16:20 could not come at a worse time because they are they have so much momentum, really good storylines right now, and even the stuff that we're seeing presently, it's like, what does AW do in the situation and who steps up in their absence? Do we see an Orange Cassidy to return who is just as over Babyface? Do they give Kyle Fletcher more opportunity to run with the ball. We're seeing Kenny omegaback on television. More do we see Kenoshki Takeshka leave the don Kallis family. Don Kallis kind of sides more with cause it's go kata between the two because there's some tension between those guys right now, which make a ton of sense. I think Takeshka would be a super over babyface. My guess is that aw as a plan as they should, right duh. But I think that they knew that this was coming and they needed to start to ramp up some new babyfaces for the promotion to really focus on. Because right now you've got Hangman page with don Kallis family in there in his cross He is in their crossairs right now, and there are so many people to choose from. Would they do Okata Hangman at all Out? I don't think so.

17:33 Would they do Katashka Takeshka versus Hangman at all Out? That's a possibility. Takeshka goes in then to the g one. If you say he wins and he takes on Zach Saber Junior Champion versus champion to cash in on his g one climax victory in that October event that would be something. Then it's like, would they do Kyle Fletcher? Probably not, would be my guess. And then outside of that, there's a little bit drop off very talented stars. You've got Lance Archer, You've got Josh Alexander, Like, do we go to the Wardlow route? Because now Wardlow's like acting as a bodyguard someone how he did as mjf's bodyguard with Don Callis so far, so it's like, okay, who really steps up? Do they shift Darby into one of those Ospring sort of Strickland spots? I would guess so as they should, because he's the guy that you could market.

18:28 And then it's kind of a little bit of an interesting situation again, do you bring back Orange Cassidy? Is Orange Cassidy is ready to come back from his injury? One? Do you turn someone babyface? I would turn Kenoska to Keshka babyface right now with a little bit of spots open Copeland and Christian they're doing their thing right now. Do you you know, maybe bump up Bobby Lashley and the hurt Sydy Kit now that they've dropped the tag team titles, and you have Bobby in the title picture. He's super over with the fans. It's very very interesting, and this is gonna be very telling to how well AW does towards the end of the year, because I always feel like they have this false swoon where it has felt like the last two years at least, AW has had like a considerable drop off following all in, following all out, where the product just is not as good as it was like four months prior. They run into this path where like from what is it Dynasty is really really good to all in or all out, and then Wrestle Dream happens in October and that's like the beginning of like a swoon for a little bit where maybe it's three, four or five months where it's not as good. I will say, last year they did the residency at the Hammerstein, and I love the shows that they did there for Dynamite Collision and even Rampage when they shut Rampage down. So it's frustrating as an AW fan. I'm frustrated for AW as a company because everything has been so good right now and theoretically coming

20:01 out Forbidden Door, coming out of all In, heading it all out, Osprey and Swerve should be at the top of that card. I mean, that's that's where they should be. They should be either Vine for the A to W World Championship somehow in a babyface versus baby face feud with Hangman out of page, or feud with some major heels that aren't in the world title picture with Hangman Page at that point, do they you know, it looks like MJFT is gonna shift with Mark Briscow. Mark Burscow, I think, is someone that they can really have step up in the absence of the top baby faces. Do you put like Osprey taken on because it's go Okada or Swerve you know continue uses for a feud with Okada. It's uh, it sucks. It really sucks. As a fantasy, this happened because Ospray and Swerve for some of the hard and soul guys of all lead wrestling, and hopefully see them back sooner rather than later. I would expect Swerve back sooner rather than later. I am concerned about will Ospray. I mean, I think it's possible that even a year from now, will Ospray is either on the shelf, or we're starting to still or we're starting to hear ramp ups of when he may return. I just have a tough time believing that with a neck surgery injury that he unless they're working us, he comes back anytime before a year. So tough tough times there, and hopefully aw can take these bumps in the road and continue their great momentum because they have been an absolute joy to watch as of late. I saw earlier this week that Bailey and Sasha Banks aka Mercedes my Name, we're celebrating the ten year anniversary of their match at NXC

21:35 Takeover Brooklyn, which to me is one of the greatest matches we've ever covered in the show, maybe the greatest match. I think it is that steamboat Savage match that kind of open up the doors and eyes to women's wrestling on a greater level. I point to a twenty fourteen NXT Women's Championship Tournament when I want Charlotte and Natalia as a match that was like, oh shit, they could do this, And then I felt like in twenty fifteen, Bailey and Sasha took a tone on the level and it's rare, especially nowadays. I feel like that you feel being immersed in the action, like legitimately immersed from your living room where you could sit down and you're watching the match, and you are living and breathing and dying with every move and every moment and every little situation that happens, the ebbs and flows of the match, where you kind of go into this different world, in this different dimension, this different universe as you're just enjoying what you are watching on your television, and this match brought it for me. There's like a handful of times that's happened.

22:44 I remember Kevin Owens Johnsen a match when Owens came up from NXT to take on Johnson as the NXC champion. That was one of those matches where I'm like, I can't believe this just happened, where Owens won because I was such a huge and still am huge Kevin Stein Kevin Owens fan. This is that match as well. Great build, great storytelling, emotional, and they had the fans on the palm of their hands. If for whatever reason, you have never seen this match, One you're not a real Rustling fan. What's wrong with you? And two, immediately pause this recording and go watch this match right now, because it still holds up to today. Its influence on women's wrestling in w and AW took it to the next level where I can safely say in twenty twenty five, I think the women's division in both companies is my most favorite thing to watch because the roster for both women's side is so deep that it's amazing to see the talent in both W and AW, and then the quality of matches the women are putting on each and every week Raw SmackDown, Dynamite Collision is so really good. Like w's women's roster and NXC I want to mention as well, like it's almost established as a franchise. You're like, this is a franchise of excellence WWE's women's division. To me, it feels like aw's women's division is like on this really good trajectory in upswing where you're starting to see

24:17 some top level talent Athena, Tony Storm, Mercedes Monet, and then you have this underbelly of women that you could see really carrying the division in a moment's known as Chris Statlander, Willow Nightingale, The Triangle of Madness, Julie Hart, Tekla Sky Blue, Love Watching Them, Mega Baine, Penelope Ford, Ty Mellow. It's it's a who's who of future stars in the women's division that has me really excited for the AW women's division and where it's going to go. I think they need to continue to creating the stars. And it's like watching NXT in twenty fifteen when you could see the of the card for NXC and where the rest of the card was coming up, and you were like, Okay, I could totally see in a year's time Chris stat Lander or Willow Nightingale being the women's champion AW and I would be totally game end down for it. And I think a lot of that came to fruition thanks to this match. I think this is in the timeline of matches and women's matches and moments that really stand the test of time of like, Okay, when was this a paradigm shift?

25:29 What was it? Four five oh six? The tris Stratus lead a steel cage match that main evented Monday Night Raw for the first time is one of those matches. It's not necessarily remembered as like this earth Shadowing an amazing five star match classic that they had, but it's a match that transcended time and helped elevate women to the next level because now here they are for the first time ever main eventing Monday Night Raw, and that was special. I would throw in the Charlotte's Italian match, TI you I manage in twenty fourteen. I think it was like it wasn't a NXT arrival, it was like NXT Fatal four way or whatever they had at that point. That to me was like a very telling moment in time where that's where I got the realization on it. And I'm like one of the few that actually like talks about that match. That's not one that you see as one that people point to and go, well, this match helped elevate the women's division, and I really think it should.

26:27 They both had I had Brett hard in one corner, Charlotte obviously had Rick Flair, and it was a tournament final and it blew my mind. But this match, obviously from the NXT men's division, is like the one it's It's like if Steve Bone and Savage helped put WrestleMania on the map as like some really good in ring Matt classics, this is what this did for women's wrestling and ww AA. It's amazing to see where they are now in their careers. When Mercedes Monet is nine Belts Monet, she is dominating all lead wrestling. Selfishly, I miss in WI. The aw character really hasn't transcended with me well as much as the old Boss character from WWE did. And then Bailey's like in this weird little transitional phase where I'm really digging the vignettes that've been Aaron on RAW lately.

27:16 I'm intrigued to see where her character goes. Where you've got Ding Dong Bailey and Hugger Bailey arguing with one another. I would love to see Hugger Bailey back here. And we are ten years later from this match, but they are staples. They are first ballot Hall of Famers for professional wrestling, for women's wrestling, they are some of the greatest of all time. And this is I don't think there's been a women's match, but it's been close to it. I think every other women's match like from this point forward, whether it be WAWTNA, NXT, what have you, this is the match that you compared to. Yeah, Rhya, Charlotte was really really good from WrestleMania forty one in LA. How did it compare to Bailey Sasha Banks from NXC Takeover, Tiberstny Storm and statis one. A was really good from all in, but how does it compare to Bailey and Sasha Banks from NXC Takeover. So's it's amazing here we are ten years later. I think it's top three, maybe number one, greatest match we've ever covered here in the history of the show due to the impact and how great of a match it was, and it really really changed the game for women's wrestler. I think at this point, the only thing that's left standing, and I'm glad that this is getting some traction and momentum, is that it's time for an AW pay per view to be headlined by a women's match. So I feel like that is another thing that needs to come off the checklist because as it should. Tim of Tony Storm is one of your most over and entertaining people on your entire roster

28:49 right now, and she's a female, so it doesn't really matter. Doesn't always have to be a AW Champion of match or a brutal, violent match Tony all the time. Give it to telling this Tony Storm. Have a main event with Mercedes again, maybe even do a trouble threat with Aena, because I think those three women deserve that right to be the three that are involved in that an eventual main event match for an aw pay per view. With that said, let's transition over to a preview for an upcoming pay per view which takes place this Sunday, and I'm going to butcher this, so bear with me. Perrie la Defense Arena in Natier, France. I feel like I like put like a little Hispanic spin on that. I'm a kid that did not take French. I took Spanish in school. Maybe that's why I sound like I have broken French. It comes to us this Sunday and it's w Clash in Paris, the first ever time the WWE Clash in Paris is taking place. They are in Leon, France this Friday for SmackDown. The French crowds have been some of the best crowds that w has ever performed in front of Leon, France, especially. I am pumped up for the show. Backlash France was incredible. That crowd was amazing and I hope the French absolutely bring it on Friday SmackDown and on Sunday at Clash in Paris, and I fully expect them to so really look good forward to it from a crowd standpoint. Now let's get into the breakdown of the show here, and Doctor Trey did

30:20 send in his prediction. So we have Seamus versus Russev in a gold a good old fashioned Donnie Brook match, and both of us have Russev in this one. I am super excited and stoke that these guys are getting there an opportunity to perform on the pl They've had some really good solid matches on raw as of lee and it's nice to see Shamus and Russo some really good soldiers to we getting some PL exp exposure this Sunday in Paris, France. Excuse me in France. It's on Paris, France. Next match here is Becky Lynch defending against Nikki Bella for the WA Women's Intercomental Championship A. Both Doctor Trey and I have Becky Lynch in this one, really solid bild. There is no better character in all of us. And again here we are again promoting the women's division. Induty.

31:02 Then the heel man character big time Becks was all right. The man as a heel is the best. The man is a big face it's all right, but the heel man version of Becky Lynch is the absolute best. And really looking forward to this one on Sunday Clash in Pairs between Becky Lynch and Nikki Bella. Next match here is Roman Reigns taking on Bronson Reid. Super happy and excited for Bronson Reid to be in the spot. He is a very enjoyable character and performer in the ring. Love watching Bronson Reid. But he will fall to the tribal chief. The tribal thief will fall to the tribal chief. Roman Reigns in this one and just added some more context here. I think it's really helped the character of Bronson Reid doing this whole tribal thief stuff with Roman Reigns.

31:49 I think it's been very enjoyable and it's nice to see this side of Bronson Reid taken effect, because I felt like he could have been a background player behind bron Breaker and Seth Rollins with a vision stable and he's not. He's he's kind of neck and neck with bron Breaker right now, and you can make a case over the last month kind of a seven pass bron Breaker a little bit, which it's I'm pretty sure is not the intentions of Dooey Right now, I think bron Breaker is the eventual golden goose for the company. John Cena takes on Logan Paul. Both Doctor Trey and I have John sena in this one, and I don't know if we mentioned this, but both of us have rum ranges on the last one as well. I was very tempted to pick Logan Paul in this one. It would not surprise me if we decided, let's give Logan Paul a victory over John Cena help elevate his career in the final month a couple months of John Cena's run in Do Douee, we've seen it. I mean they had him beat aj Styles at WrestleMania, so it's not out of the question, and he defeats John Cena at Appeale.

32:44 But I would prefer that Scena continues to win, and that's kind of how we build up towards the end of John Cena. I'd like to see him not retort back to the John Cena who was like losing all the time, and we go out with classic John Cena on his final couple matches here before he bids up ad to professional wrestling, and then that takes us to the main event match here seth Ronins of Defense against Cmpunk jay Uso in La Knight in a fatal four way match for the World Heavyweight Championship. Both Doctor Trey and I have seth Rollins in this one, and I think this is a pretty easy match. It's to pick because he just won the championship. I don't think any of us think whatsoever that seth Rons would be dropping it in less than a month time after you ran the angle that you did at SummerSlam and the months leading up to it, or the three weeks leading up to it. You're doing this so that like seth Rolls outsmarts the other three and I actually think that this is more of a set up match for an eventual Wargames match. It takes place in just a couple months in San Diego for Survivor Series. It would not shock me if the vision with either one or two more people maybe like Drew Mcatarre and Logan Paul will be taking on like Punk jay Uso La Knight and two more people attitude. Maybe they add Randy Orton to that, Maybe they add Cody Rhodes to that because those are people who were could be feuding with those folks moving forward.

33:58 I actually would have loved Actually, I would love to see John seen in this one. Can you imagine like Punk j Uso, l A Knight, Cody Rhodes and John Scene instead of Randy Orton signed me up to for that. So seth Ron's leaves Clash in Paris as a worldweight championship, and I think this is a match that you start to see the sprinkling of the build towards Wargames in late November, because this is kind of around the time that they started doing that, folks. So there you go. There is our Clash in Paris preview and predictions. Thanks to Doctor Trey for submitting his predictions. We will recap and review it all for you all on next week's edition OFFSR to you the first show of September.
