Hey, friend, those deviers, billars, and welcome back to going in Raw the only pro wrestling podcast you need to be listening to on today's episode. We've got an AW all out coming up this weekend and we're going to be doing our predictions for that particular show. It's basically a W's backlash, but a lot more intriguing. I'll be honest all out this kind of a stat card. It really is. You know, in past, sorry, W a W pay per views, there might be like one or two

matches. You look at the card and you're like, ah, this could easily be a dynamite or collision. I don't really think that's the case for this one. Like all the matches are, you know, they see pay per view worthy and they all have stakes. Yeah. So that's great to see. Yeah, no, it is. I agree with that. I think that, um, yeah, this is a, this is a really good looking card right here. And there are at least a couple matches here, dude, that I'm like, oh, I don't know. This can go any number of ways. And I always like that about same. My rastling cards as well. Same. So of course here at going in raw, we employ confidence points for our predictions. So they work as follows, match your most confident. How many points to give that one, Steve? Oh, man. Uh, all the, all all this case number eight. Yes. Yes. For all that, we're only doing the main card, not the pre show match, at least confident. What do you give that one? The one single that single confidence point. And you got to do that for all the matches. So each from have a unique confidence point value. You get your pick right. You get those points.

We do the predictions challenges. We add up points are as most points at the end of the show. When's the predictions challenge thing when we do that? But for here, these are for entertainment purposes only. That is correct. Uh, we do have our predictions. Wait, are we doing? I saw the Cody Sunday, made a form. So I guess we could, I guess we're doing a prediction challenge for all out. I thought we were just going to do money in the bank. Max. But, uh, do you want to do? We're going to do some while we can do one of those bonus ones where you get the extra few points going into my bank. Um, okay. We'll figure that out. We'll make the announcement tomorrow. We'll talk about it at basketball today. So, uh, so yeah, we got a prediction challenge for all out. If you want to get in on the predictions challenge, uh, even if it's just for fun, these or extra points heading into money in the bank. You know, here's a way of looking at two is that when we do my in the bank, it's not just for the prize of prediction challenge winner. It's also you get a cash in down the line. Uh, yeah, right. And maybe we'll figure something out. So maybe it's, since that's the case, this can be a proper prediction challenge. The main

the bank one is for a cash in opportunity, essentially. Okay. We'll figure it out. We'll talk about it. We'll talk about later. Anyways, let's get through our picks here. Let's start off with this one for the national. We should probably point out prediction challenge for channel members. Oh, yeah. Click join right here at youtube.com slash Steven Larson or go to patreon.com slash Steve and Larson. Uh, that's where you can get to it's $5 a month, uh, either way you do it, get access to bonus episodes, which we really need to do bonus episodes. Oh, yeah. We're really going to those aren't we? Yeah. Kind of. Uh, so yeah, bonus episode, uh, question threads and the prediction challenge. Okay. Now go ahead. Now, all right. We're kicking things off here with all out 2026 with the, let's do the national championship match. He got on drade defending against pack. Who do you got Steve? The bastard pack will lose this match. I got, I got on drade L. Edelow. He is currently sport. I mean, look, it's entirely possible that his contract will kind of be, you know, the, uh, the sub for a championship

because he's walking around with that thing. And some people might think, hey, it makes him a presumptive champion, uh, because he can cash it in. I don't know if they sort of use this in a similar way to money in the bank. I did the week. We heads up. Oh, they did the weeks. That's right. They did the week thing after Christian's thing, huh? Um, so, uh, so yeah, but I don't see that happening. I think they're just doing this match to make him look like a bigger deal and that he's a real threat to will osprey's, uh, world championship. And because of that, I've got on drade L. Edelow with seven confidence points. How do you know? Uh, how do I know? Um, you know, here's a thing regarding the death riders. They are like the through line through all of a w like the death riders are like permeates the show to such a degree. Uh, yet mox right now is the only one with the title

like, I think, yes, he's only one with the title. And depending how things go in the main event, who's the one that's probably more than anybody else been throwing mox and some, some looks of late of disapproval. It's been packed. Yeah, packed, but he also, I'm gonna just keep in mind, I agree with you. He seems to do that with everything. He looks at everything with disapproval. But he is the best one. But yes, he's a bust nonetheless. If they, if they were going to maybe do some sort of, uh, death riders turn here in terms of kick box out after he loses to offspring in the main event, you know, the past, I would thought, oh, Claudio's be the one that that takes charge. I don't know. It could be pack. And they may start things off the night off with the idea of, all right, pack. He's got a championship lend further legitimacy to his claim for leadership of death riders. So it's entirely possible that pack could come out of this winning that national title.

And then on drony can focus exclusively on cash in in that championship contract. Plus on drony's been defending that title every week. He could be a bit rundown because of that. Yeah, it could catch up to him. Uh, if they were to, if they decided to make this like a real story heavy pay per view, where there is a big sea change, moxley loses, loses the confidence of the death riders. Meanwhile, you've got pack doing that. Then I can absolutely 1000% see that happening. So therefore with all that being said, Larsen, who's your pick on this match? I've got pack with seven of confidence points to lose to on drugs. Well, lose isn't a word, Larsen. Is it win or lose? It's not well lose. Lose. Lose. Try to trick lose. Lose. Yeah, I got on drony with 70 on drony's wouldn't this. Now, I like that. I mean, I think that's a good case as any for pack to win this match, but I am not confident in that. No, I'm not either. I mean, they're not afraid to hand

pack his fair share L's to. So it's one of those matches where if on drony wins is a huge win for him. The match is going to be great. Oh my gosh, it'll be good. And yeah, I, you know, I really have a whole lot of confidence in the idea that the death rider is going to kick mox out if you lose its offspring right away. It can do one of those things that starts the process. But I don't I don't think it's going to happen right away. I think the idea that I'm this was what I swear this reported somewhere that mox didn't like the idea originally when he lost the title of being kicked out of the death riders because it was too W W shit. Yeah. And and I feel like the idea is the death riders are bound by much more than just like titles come and go. But like being a death rider, that kind of means everything.

The patch is everything. And so and I feel like with that philosophy, I just don't think that he's going to get kicked out. I just don't think that he sees the death riders in that way. And I could be totally wrong about that. But I think that you're you're losing out on a lot of opportunities for drama like, yeah, pack might look at him disapprovingly. That doesn't mean he's got to kick him out. It could just add some really good drama and tension and a story there, you know. Every game day you show up for your team. Now it's your time. We go. We go. Ask your prescriber about we gov some magletide injection 2.4 milligrams a G. O P one call 1 8 3 3 4 we gov or visit we gov.com to view the medication guide and to learn more about we gov. Why wait? We go. We go. College football is back. So Hilton called to me the superstition concierge to make your

fan rituals a reality. Need a room to match your lucky number? We got you. Want to make sure our team doesn't wash your lucky jersey? Oh, that smells lucky. Hilton's unmatched hospitality can keep up with any superstition. Even a marching bandwinkup call it 555 and 55 seconds. Hit it. When you need a team that will do whatever it takes on game day, it matters where you stay. Hilton for this day. This episode is brought to you by PayPal. You know how a mom's bag has everything? Sunscreen, snacks, a stapler, the new PayPal app is like that. But for your money, shop, pay, manage your account and earn rewards all in one place. And with purchase protection on eligible items, biometric security and pass keys, you're protected at every step. Download the new PayPal app to get started. See PayPal.com slash protection terms. Let's move on to this match winner is number one contender for the tag team championships. You got Darby Allen, Steven Borden, taken on Kyle's family members Kevin Knight and Kyle

Fletcher. So Steven Borden, he's undefeated currently. He's hot. Yeah. He's been pinning some some pretty major names in a W on top of that to get these wins. Also, he is hot. He's a good looking guy. He's a handsome man. Yes, he is. And a leather jacket. Oh my god. Talk about goals, dude. Jesus. Hey, heck yeah. I wish I had hops like him. His drop kicks incredible. I wish I had one 20th of those hot. Oh, I know. So you think momentum's on the side of Darby and Steven Borden. Kevin Knight, Kyle Fletcher got put together as kind of a tag team by Don Callas. Can they co-exist type deal? They've been getting long pretty well as long as they've been winning and they've been working pretty well together. This one's a bit tougher because of the previous match slightly because I feel like whoever comes out of the the ladder match ladder war for the tag titles is probably going to be one of the face teams. So you think, all right. Well, if that's the case and I might give

the edge to the heels here, Callas family. However, if the young bucks win that ladder match, there's a lot of potential interesting story with them feuding with Darby and Steven Borden because who was Darby and Stings opponents, Stings last match, the young bucks. So I only got two confidence points on it right now. Of course, we're shooting this before Dynamite and Collision this week. Super show on Wednesday, three hours. Get ready. But I got two confidence points, Darby and Steven Borden to get the win here. Yeah, I've got three and I've got it also on Darby and Steven Borden because number one, the Don Callas family, they are not opposed to having all sorts of friction intention within the family. Like you said, Darby and Steven Borden, they already have a set thing with the young bucks, even if they come out of this, even if sorry, Edging Christian come out of that

as the tag champs, they could do that friendly situation between these two. Regardless, I think Tony Khan wants to make something out of Steven Borden. And I feel like a win here while Kevin Knight and Kyle Fletcher, you know, this is like the third tag team within that family that we've had for Kyle Fletcher. Rodo Jet. I feel like this is more likely to just lead to a bit of an inter family feud between those two, which lead to a really good match. I think that makes more sense than them teaming up to take on. But then, you know, maybe getting a chance of those tag titles is a big enough thing to when they fail at that really split them and then they start their feud. So I'm not ruling them out. I only have three competence points, but at this point, until Steven Borden loses a match, which probably would be for the actual tag team championship. But then maybe not. I don't know. Maybe they'll beat whoever comes out of that.

I don't think that's going to happen. But, but yeah, I feel like Borden's first big loss is going to be, and I know I think he lost in like Ring of Honor and one of those dark matches or something like that. But like in terms of being on TV, I think his loss is going to be when it's actually for a title against a legendary tag team. That makes more sense to me. It does. It does. Next here, this is a Chicago Street fight for the women's tag titles. He got the Brawling Burrs champion. It's defending against divine dominion. Who do you got, Steve? I mean, you know, a Chicago Street fight. I got the Brawling Burrs. Like their entire, like, all their vignettes involve them, like fighting people in pubs and whatnot. So I feel like that gives them the advantage. They see their scrappier, you know, they'll, they'll take a pint glass and break it over your head. That to me screams winner of Street fight. They just won these titles. Also, so that's another reason why I don't see them dropping them. I probably should

have more here, but I think I'm actually more convinced about the other matches than I am this one. Yeah, I mean, because divine dominion, they're still booked really strong. So it's entirely possible. I just put them back over there. Maybe they want Alex and Jamie to be singles. I don't know. I got four confidence points on the Brawling Burrs to win the Chicago Street fight. I just wish that they set up some like vendors in this in like on the stage, like some Chicago food vendors there. And so they can, you know, have some old food fighting there. I just meant Chicago was such a culinary delight when I went there. Yeah, I still think about it. It's been like almost 10 years. I know. I think about all time too. Sometimes I'll just be sitting and they think it was like gosh darn it. Tell you beef sounds so good right now. Dude, I mean remember we're sitting in that restaurant. And what was their name of the restaurant that were at the one where we had the deep dish? Oh, uh, uh, G or Danos. G or Delis. Yeah. And like, Haku was in like two booths over.

Like Tom. Tom, Tom, Tom was there with them. Yeah, motherfucking Tom. So yeah, I still think about that. Anyways, yeah, I got Brawling Burrs for. Yeah, I got Brawling Burrs for too. You know, considering it's a street fight, no rules. You know, that might potentially give the edge to the heels here somewhat. But now Brawling Burrs thing is, is, is, is their fighters and they enjoy fighting. So you think a street fight would be right in their wheelhouse and they'd get the win, hence Brawling Burrs for. But as you said, divide the menu of the book strong. They could pass these tag titles back and forth a couple of times. It's entirely possible. Yeah, for sure. Next year for the trio's titles, you got Swerve and New Level defending against Hangman, Adam Page and Brodito. You know, when they did the, the, the roulette Royale with the trio's championships on the line all out. And, Hangman Brody, especially Brody and Pandito were nowhere near involved in the finish. I was like,

because they're going to do that match next. That's what we got here. But I think the team that's walking in champs Swerve and New Level or else, New Level are also walking out champs. They just got those titles. I'm interested to see what they do to build upon the feud. That's been existing the rivalry between Swerve and Hangman in this match and how everybody else in this match plays into that. I'm also excited to see how New Level and Swerve continue to evolve as a team. So I got Swerve and New Level 6. We're just copying and pasting each other because I have the exact same thing. I want to make sure this is my, yeah, this is my form. Yeah, I've got, I've got the exact same thing. I mean, could the demand, who's going to, the demand is there to eat the pin, right? No, demand is not in this match. The man just taking on Swerve and New Levels and collision. Yeah, yeah, you're right, you're right. You're right. You're right. Yeah, I'm looking at this and for some reason. Yeah,

I thought it was a triple threat, but you're right. Yeah, so yeah, I got Swerve and New Level. Here's the thing. This might be kind of interesting. At some point, they got to do Swerve the New Level versus the elite Kenny and the upwex this year in Sacramento. We had a five star match Kenny Omega versus Swerve, Strickland, Young Bucks and the New Day. Oh my God, dream match up right there. They got to get to that. Oh, yeah. Is it possible that Young, but what's, what's, does, does, let's say after this match, they get to that, right? Trio's champions still Swerve New Level. The elite does that idea make it more or less likely that the Young Bucks come out of the tag match as champions and they do some sort of like they do a match where the winner

gets all the gold. So like new level would get the tag titles and they'd have the Trio's titles with Swerve or am I over complicating thing? No, I don't necessarily think you're over complicating. I don't know if they do tag titles and Trio's titles on the line the same match, but I don't think you're over complicating things with the idea of Swerve and New Level holding on to those Trio's titles with the idea that we're going to get Kenny and the Young Bucks challenging for said titles. And this is a good question to ask. If that's the plan, does that preclude the Young Bucks from winning this latter war match later on in the show? I don't know if necessarily precludes them from winning, but I think it in theory drops their odds of winning. Oh, you think so. Okay. I think there's too increasing their odds of winning. Yeah. It's like, hey, we're champions. We're going to go take, you know, yeah, yeah. It's a latter match. No one's eating a pin in it. You know, so Coping Cage or FTR can go up and grab those tag titles and it's be a hard fought violent match, but you don't have the visual of someone on their, you know, on their back,

eating a pin to lose. So it's one as a situation to think if the Young Bucks don't win the tag titles, it's not like they look any worse coming out of it going for the Trio's titles, whether that be at full gear or whatever, you know. Yeah. Yeah. So yeah, I mean, that's that's that's something that I think is definitely going to be coming up pretty shortly. And that's another reason why I've got six confidence points on Swarve and the new level here. It'd be weird for new level just to win those titles in their debut and then drop them exactly at the backlash. Exactly. I know they've been passing around those Trio's titles, A.W. Have quite a bit, but I don't think it's going to be happening again for a good spill. Every game day, you show up for your team. Now it's your time. Ask your prescriber about We GoVie, some Maglatide Injection 2.4 milligrams, a GLP one.

Call 1-8334 We GoVie or visit We GoVie.com to view the Medication Guide and to learn more about We GoVie. Why wait? We go Vee! College football is back. So Hilton called to me the superstition concierge to make your fan rituals a reality. Need a room to match your lucky number? We got you. Want to make sure our team doesn't wash your lucky jersey? Oh, that smells lucky. Hilton's unmatched hospitality can keep up with any superstition. Even a marching bandwick up call at 555 and 55 seconds. Hit it! When you need a team that will do whatever it takes on game day, it matters where you stay. Hilton, for this day. Next up here, imagine if we got another like best of series with the elite, but this time it gets swirled at the new level. Yeah, that'd be terrific. I love it. It's great. Next here for the international title champion, Kazuchiko O'Kada taken on Tom Champa, Tomaso Champa. Who you got Steve?

Tom Champa's hot. Coming off this view to Jericho, you're making him into a big, big deal. What bigger deal can be made than a guy beating the Rainmaker himself? Kazuchiko O'Kada. Maso Champa, I think, might be that guy. And therefore, with eight confidence points, that's right. Eight, taking a big swing here. Want to win this in Promptu Predictions Challenge? You told on yourself I put eight on this, Steve. I've got. Don't interrupt me. No, you told on yourself to do more confidence points. If you're going to want us to believe you're actually picking Champa here. All right, fine. O'Kada to win with eight. Yeah, come on. Not even going to try. Oh. See, I got five confidence points. I think you're on to something here with a chance. What? Shut up. You only have five on it. This is a lock, man. This is a lock. I got five on this one. I think you're onto something with the idea that Champa could win.

You want to make Champa an AW? This is how you do it. Here you have a beetle caught on that being said. I got a beetle caught on with five. Yeah. They already made him an AWB Jericho. You beat the pain mix. But everybody beats Jericho. Oh, that's right. You think Nick Wayne is going to beat Jericho in their blow-off? No, I'm not. See, this is what happens. This is what they call the Jericho vortex. Because Jericho and theory should be a big deal. But then he gets some of these shields with these guys who it's like, I get what you're trying to do. You're trying to make them. But it doesn't matter anymore because you make everybody. I know. Or you try that with everybody. But yeah, no, this is this. Look, there's a couple matches on here. O'Cottah versus Champa, Andrade versus Pack. Those are going to be matches, too. Yeah. Those are going to be, I mean, not even to mention the main event. But and then a ladder war match. Oh my god. Speaking of ladder war, let's talk about that one. Next, you got Coping Cage, Fading the Tag Tiles against Young Bucks,

and FTR. So only I have one confidence point on this match because I honestly don't know which way it's going to go. I thought it first, Young Bucks, because this match is essentially, I don't think they've necessarily marketed this as such. And there's at least one team missing for me to really feel like it's the case. Basically, greatest tag team in 80, that's kind of what seems to be on the line. But that's hard to do when one of those tag teams in the history of the company, it's not even the company that'd be the luch brothers. Another team that could usually be in this match just arrived in AEW and that's new level. But oh, I can't believe, I can't believe you're missing on Motor City Machine Gun. Oh, how dare I forget Motor City Machine Guns. Again, but they just arrived as well. Have they had a match yet? Maybe on collision, but they have not had anything undynamite. And one thing that sticks in my head is what the Young Bucks will do next. And if the idea is they want to do the Trio's deal first

with Swarve and New Level, with Kenny, Teeming with the Young Bucks, again, like I said previously, I don't think it necessarily means they can't win the tag titles. I just don't know if it'd be likely. For whatever reason, I don't see FTR winning this. So right now, again, this is right now, dynamite hasn't happened. I got Copen Cage with one. Like this is their match, it's a TLC match, like, market is such, but it's a TLC match. It's their deal. They always won those in WWE. So yeah, that's what I got. I got Copen Cage with one. I have the Young Bucks with two. Not very many confidence points in this. And in fact, originally I had Cage and Copen, but the problem there, at least if there to go by my predictions, nothing changes hands. And I know that just in the last paper, you like everything changed hands,

but like nothing changes hands. And I do think there's something about the Young Bucks. And again, at this point, I'm just fantasy booking and whenever I do that, I end up being completely wrong about everything. But I do think that the Young Bucks and Kenny going to confront the new level and swerve just has a little bit more stank to it if the Young Bucks and maybe they don't put the tag titles on the line and just the trios titles on the line because there are trios. But if the Young Bucks have those tag titles and they're, you know, and that that just looks better for them confronting the new level and swerve. The other thing is this, the last match, Cage and Cope versus the Young Bucks, I got wrong because I thought that match was supposed to be who's the greatest tag team. And I feel like both FTR and Cage and Cope are willing to

give that title to the Young Bucks because of the Young Bucks company. And they're the guys that are making, and they're, they're the guys primarily responsible for tag team wrestling having as prominent a spot as it does an AW. And so I do think that if this is the match, so they're saying who's the, and what better way to say this than in a latter war. Yeah. And if they're saying who's the best tag team there is and this is the match that proves it, the Young Bucks win. I think both FTR and Cage and Cope are like, hey, yeah, Young Bucks up on this one because it's their company. Yeah, if they start referring to this match as such, then yeah, I'll probably end up going with the Young Bucks. But I don't necessarily think they have per se. I think it's kind of baked into the subtext as they are for sure. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. But until it's all right. Oh, and WWE was like, this is going to be the greatest match ever.

Sometimes they, you know, AW doesn't have to be as overt about things. Oh, they were, they were much, you're right about it. They were much less subtle about that idea in the last, you know, leading the guys to the right. The greatest of their generation versus the greatest of this generation to see who's got the best. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Next year, winner gets a shot at Mercedes at Russell Dream for the women's title. You got Willow taken on Tecla. Who do you got Steve? I have no fucking club. I've got one confidence point on this. All right. And right now, so yeah, this is to see. Right now, I got it on Tecla because she was, she was, uh, her title run, I think, was well regarded. And she seems like the natural next opponent or Mercedes while that they would just have Willow lose this though. But I guess Tecla can always cheat. You know, she's got her friends with her. Mm-hmm. Oh, I got Tecla with one, dude.

I don't know where you come. I'm, I'm just going to copy your answer to be honest with you. Well, I got Tecla as well. I have three, not that I'm like super confident about the outcome. I just feel a little more confident about this one than the matches I matches. I have one of two confidence points on. I mean, it was Tecla interrupted Mercedes championship celebration. They had those two promo segments. Willow was kind of interjected a little bit later into it. And if the plan was a triple threat, I, you know, I feel like Mercedes still want to walk out of all out champ. Mm-hmm. I don't know. We just did Willow and Mercedes it all out. I don't know if they want to go back to that. Again, I could be wrong. See what the fresh matchup here. Yeah, it is Tecla at Tecla and Mercedes and the fresh matchup. And I think it's going to be awesome. So yeah, I got Tecla with three, but if Willow were to win, I would not be shocked. Yeah, same, same. But yeah, Tecla just makes more sense, I think, but I only have one confidence.

Finally, your main event will Osprey defending the AW world champion championship against Yan, Yan, Yan. Jaxley. I got Osprey with eight. Osprey does one this thing. Here he lost to Mox once earlier this year. He ain't losing again. He's gonna, he's gonna out Moxley Moxley and he's gonna win. Osprey up. I love this as a match heading out of, because that's why this isn't really a backlash. This is like, oh man, this could have been all in. This could have been the story leading into all in. So I really love this as a match. I love Will Osprey being proactive and booking this match himself throwing Sean Moxley off. Hey, you got to put up a shut up now, Mox. Yeah, no more of these. You know, I got to know mine games, enemy flags and whatnot. We're doing this now, bruv. So this match is going to be really awesome. I don't think Moxley's going to win this.

I only have five confidence points on this largely because I'm simply more confident in all the other matches that I have more confidence points on because that's how this works. But I don't have all eight on this because it is John Moxley and maybe Tony Conn will throw us a curveball and be like, hey, you know what? It's, you know, he won this thing, but it's going to be damn hard for him to keep his hands on it. And he fucked up by, like, Osprey is walking into this supremely confident. You know, we walked right up to John Moxley. It was like, this is why I did it. I've got you figured out, you know, he didn't necessarily say easy day in the park, but he said, bring all your death writers. He's really putting himself out there. So that could be a colossal fuck up on his part. It could be absolutely. And he could come out of this without his title being like, oh, fuck, now I now I need to like, you know, rethink all that confidence I had and build myself back up.

I don't think that's going to happen, but I do have five confidence points as opposed to all confidence points on Will Osprey winning. I think it'd be terrific. Swerve, if they just had him lose a month after he got the thing. And then have to and then have to build himself back up. The thing about AW is that I do think that as opposed to like, for example, Vince McMahon, who'd be like, oh, today, you know, I don't like this title run after a month. We're going to, you know, do that. I do think that there is a potential story there for Will winning it. And then shitting the bed a month later to John Moxley, the guy, you know, because then he can go off and get his actual revenge on Moxley. So yeah, I think there's there's something interesting to be done here. And I'm kind of curious to see how this match is going to play out. But I've got Will Osprey with five. All right. We got some Frendo predictions for all of them. 2020. Okay. So let's start with this one. Christian says, Ilya Dragunov, debuts and jumps Mox after the show, the death riders

joining in like what happened to AJ with bullet club. Oh, sort of a bullet club leader, switch to Ruse and air. I would like, I wonder if the idea from this Frendo would be that Ilya would then actually be new leader of the death riders per chance. There's no casino situation here where he could show up as the Joker or whatever the mystery wild card thing is. Yeah, there's no that. But but him, you know, debuting in some way, shape, or form, if there was, let me ask you this, if there was a match where Ilya would debut afterwards and confront the winner, which match would it be? Would it be the international championship match, the national championship? Oh, I just imagine if after Tom Champa loses to a Cata, if Ilya comes out, confronts a Cata.

Yeah, that would be a wild moment. Yeah, that'd be sick. Wow. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah, I don't know. I mean, I guess Ilya's approach would fit in to what the death riders do. I just don't know. I just don't know. I just don't know if that would be the direction. They would go join him having anything to do with the death riders per se. Yeah, I kind of doubt that would be the case, but that'd be kind of it'd be neat. You know, it'd be like it'd be a big holy shit moment. You know, so I like that idea. I don't think they would do it, but I think it'd be a cool idea. Yeah. Next here from C Machines, the Shamest and Kyrie debuts. Imagine if instead of Ilya, Shamest that confronts O'Cata after O'Cata beats Tom Champa. You know, it's weird for some reason. I see that more likely with Andrade, and I don't know why.

I think Andrade and Shamest makes more sense to me than Andrade. I'm sorry, the No'Cata and Shamest. Interesting. I can't even I don't even know why. Shamest, huh? Yeah, I don't know. Shamest needs to confront like a juice Robinson on collision. You know, you want you want that Stephen Ferrelli juice Robinson collision feud, huh? Who doesn't? That's the best view. Oh, how about the, how about the Shamest comes out and he confronts Chris Jericho. That's why. Oh, that seems actually seems pretty unlikely. Chris Jericho's not going to the card, so that has to happen on collision. That'll happen on collision right there. Or he comes out and he confronts Jack Perry after on the blowout or whatever they're calling me. Oh, yeah, after Jack Perry beats Shabbata to get his match against Joe. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. Also, you want Shamest to join the ops? Sure, why not? Yeah, why not? Who cares? I like Shamest. I do. I just don't I don't know if any of these

names make sense for him. What if Shamest joins death writers? You know what? No, this is what it needs to be. But these are what needs to have. Yeah, exactly. Cesar needs to have a match and then Shamest confronts him. All right. Oh, they fight and then they get together. Kyrie on this card. I mean, it has to be after Willow and in Tecla. Yeah, maybe Kyrie comes out and attacks Willow. I don't know. I like Kyrie's going to yeah, Kyrie's going to be a like a baby face. Yeah, save, save some of these debuts for dynamite. Bro, they need to do something cool on dynamite because, you know, that's the make a lot of money up that TV stuff. They do. JMC here says the young box will win the tag titles Darby and Steve Boren become number one contender. This will lead to a match which mirrors Stings retirement match only this time Darby's team will lose half. Yeah, I think,

yeah, oh, sorry. There's more after the match. Darby will be attacked by Garrett Borden who's been wrestling dark matches. Frustrated. It was Darby and not him and Darby didn't even get the job done. Stephen will look conflicted, but eventually joining the attack feeling he was wrong. It should have teamed with his brother. This guy should who did this one? JMC. Mc just start a AW fanfic blog. All right, you fed. Ernie fed. This is good stuff. I want to see this play out. I feel like what's it's Garrett Borden. Yeah. I need to see him on TV more to lead to this moment because otherwise going to be like, wait, what? Yeah, I know. You know, they need a build to that moment. But they know if if if if Darby and and Stephen Boren win the young bucks win, they push on this tag title match to the next paper review Russell dream and then they have about what a month to build towards it. Up and no, up until Garrett Borden showed up, I think this is very likely to happen. I think this guy this could definitely happen. You got to build that Garrett Borden up though.

What if what if Garrett doesn't show up? Darby and Stephen lose when they face whether it's the young bucks or Coping Cage or FTR for the tag titles and then Stephen turns on Darby. Oh, wow. That's cool. And then he joins his brother Garrett. Yeah. And they both join the Calis family. And yeah, then they could be stings. Because yeah, they're worried about the you know, they're worried about like, oh, what are we going to call him? We can't call him sting again. Can calm sting Junior. How's weird? Yeah. Aliyho del sting. There's not really a good. There's not really a good like equivalent to Aliyho or Junior here in like America. Mm hmm. Everybody just has like, you know, the same last name. But like, what if what if they're a tag team and they're called like scorpions or something like that? Yeah, scorpions, you know, that's cool. They come out to a scorpion song. Which one?

I think like Rocky, like a hurricane is overplayed of tireless. I mean, dude, I only know two. I know. You know, wins of change in the Rocky, like a hurricane, don't you? Yeah. So it's one of those two. You're going to bust out some fucking B side out. No idea. No, no, no, try to think of other other songs off that huge album that they had with Rocky, like a hurricane on there. The only way I think of is still loving you. And that's that's not wrestling. Can you sing that for me briefly? Like the chorus? Still loving you? Yeah. I'm still loving you. There's a little guitar solo goes on underneath the I mean, I probably know it. You know it. Okay. Yeah, Rocky, like a hurricane. The hurricanes. Now that's stupid. The scorpions. Yeah, that makes sense. Because you imagine it like they did that fucking intro to wins, a wind of change. I know. I know. With the whistle. What else? Next prediction. Oh, sorry. I was looking at other tracks on the

scorpions album. Where am I? Jason Sear here says young bucks win the tag title, setting up young bucks versus do level as the main event of WrestleDream. Okay. But here's the thing though. I think that's why Darby and Borden are going to get that shot of WrestleDream. They got to save that for like a big pay per view because Darby is WrestleDream. Where is that again this time? I don't know. Is that the air is it? We're gonna do one in Arizona. That was a. Oh, that's an Orlando. Okay. It's an Orlando. All right. So they know it's where Fulgear is at. Fulgear probably 2026. Fulgear is from that's the one that's in Arizona. That's Phoenix. Okay. So yeah. I, you know, the WrestleDream I always associate with like Pacific Northwest. Was it the first year? That's where the first one was out. I don't know. The last year is a Missouri. Yeah.

Camp Popplestone here says this will be the last time we ever see Edge and Christian team together. If Coping Cage lose this match, is that yeah, are they done as a tech team? Yeah, I kind of feel like that too. I think this is like a ladder wars kind of the last thing that well, no dude, you have to do don't you have to do them against the new level? There's so many tag teams. There's so many tag teams. Yeah. Yeah, there's a lot of tag teams there, but there are a lot of tag teams. So if they just split up and went their separate ways, the division would be fine. But it's like, oh, you're missing out on a couple of maybe dream matches. Yeah, maybe, maybe. Theoretically, Drew here says, shampoo will beat Okata with interferes become new international champion. That is, I mean, I don't know, it cost a cut of the match then. Tony Khan has surprised us in the past dude. So it's possible. But I don't know, man. Okata with that title kind of makes it a secondary world title,

whereas, champa, I don't know that that's like a step up or even a lateral move. Yeah, I understand what you're saying. Parsath here says, Paramount executives will attend the show causing a bunch of unnecessary discourse about what that means. Are they going to show David Ellison in the crowd? I mean, I know there was that that settlement between Paramount and several states regarding the merger that kind of clears the way for it a bit. Yeah, but it still seems it's all this a ways out before that actually happens. And I'd be very surprised. I'd be very surprised with Paramount executive show open and AEW show kind of period, but much less long before the merger is actually signed and done. So on one hand, I feel like oftentimes to give the appearance that a merger is inevitable, they would start acting like it's already

done. Like they were already sending memos to like CBS and CNN, hey, this is totally we're going to do this. And you know, this is what we're going to start doing. Even before the merger was cleared. Now that they're probably going to start acting because this, you know, the settlement was reached, they're going to start acting like it's a foreground conclusion. Yeah. That being said, none of these polls are showing up to an AEW show. No, AWS is relative to all the other entities that Paramount is getting with the water acquisition. What are brother or start? AEW is very low on the priority list, especially given that like Warner's only, oh, I mean, because apparently Warner's does own like some sort of stake in it. They have some equity stake. But it's not a majority stake. So it's like they're just programming. Yeah. You know, and I know the relationship is very good or at least only honest to the relationship is very good. But how can they going to do it a pro wrestling show? I know. I know. Maybe five years from now. I don't know. With Paramount, finally gets around to say, oh, we got AEW on our our our docket of shows. Get around.

Five years of pipe too long. We'll get around to a 10-year show. But it's not going to be a high priority. Yeah. I don't yeah. I don't think that's going to be a thing. Finally here is this J.S. says at least one fan will accidentally go to the wrong show. Of course, you got worlds collide at all state arena. And then you got all out at the now arena out in suburban Chicago. So, uh, and that's that's a good stretch apart. They're what a 20 30 minutes apart. We made all out all out has a 86 hundred people that are going to be in attendance. And worlds collide has what similar. I thought it was over 10 for worlds. Is it over 10? Yeah. I think you're right about that. Uh, it what the hell? Oh, wow. They've got like this old school poster that they've made for this. That looks cool. Yeah.

Anyways, um, do we know this is going to be broadcast or not? That's not a dance. Okay. Um, do you think there's going to be at least one fan who got their ticket for the, you know, all state arena and they accidentally go to the now or vice versa. They're like, oh, A W's got to run an all state, even though I don't think they have. Or they did, I think one punk was there. No, they ran the United Center. Oh, okay. I don't think I wonder if all state has one of those deals with WWE that WWE is the only could be wrestling copy that can run shows. Because that's the place that 90% of time WWE run shows in Chicago's all state. Right. Yeah. That's supposed to be that center. Um, I mean, I guess if someone, you know, got confused about the, uh, the venue for the show, maybe. But like I said, I feel like they're far enough apart. That I'd be kind of surprised. Okay. All right. One per out of those 10,000, or 18,000 people. Yeah, I suppose I think I think one fan is going to get confused. Okay.

They are wrestling fans after all, especially get one of these WWE people. Ooh. Well, top of me, there are a bunch of shows in the arena. They like that simple shit. I'm just joking, man. I'm one of those simple people. All right. That's it's honestly, it's probably something I would do. Anyway, any more predictions there? Uh, that looks to be it. All right. Cool, man. Well, thanks everybody for tuning in. We appreciate it. Thanks for your predictions. And, uh, yeah, until next time. We'll see you guys around. Goodbye. Every game day you show up for your team.
