 Yo, yo, yo, yo, yo was good was good was good If you can hear me loud and clear, let me know in the chat Let me know how I'm sounding right now What's going down everybody man? What is going down? What's good was good was good. What's good everybody? We in this thing man here to do my regular preview and predictions appreciate everyone that's That's joining in let me go ahead and pull up the camera. What's good everybody? What's going down everybody man? Hopefully you guys are having a great Friday so far Look good the visuals look good What's going down man? Here for my preview and predictions for the Royal Rumble tomorrow things are getting Very interesting for WWE shout out to everyone that was a part of the stream yesterday last night We went through all 67 pages of the court document It was very interesting You've been eating this week Ross. What'd you mean? What you mean by that? You talking about content wise? What you talking about? Ross, I got done with my workout. Hey, that's what's up, man I appreciate everyone joined in. I know I asked a few of you that were here last night If I should do a live stream for this video for the preview and predictions to kind of switch it up You know and a few you guys well a lot of y'all were saying I should so I wanted to keep my word before we actually do The live stream reactions on the main page for SmackDown tonight. I wanted to keep my word man But before we get into this we got to check out this article Talking about one of WWE sponsors pulling out of the Royal Rumble event. We're gonna get right into this There's also some other news and I think it was kind of obvious about the whole Brock Lesnar situation Apparently there are reports and rumors saying that Brock was slated to Be potentially returning back at the Royal Rumble this year, but since his recent alleged Activities involving the the court documents with Miss Grant or what not in Vince McMahon and John Lourdes they may have pulled him out of The Royal Rumble plans and I don't know if he's pulled out of WrestleMania plans But they definitely may have pulled him out of Royal Rumble plans Which I kind of expected to happen It only makes sense that they're not gonna have him being involved in the the um the Royal Rumble right now because you know they is It's a little too hot right now. It's WWE will at least on the Vince McMahon side of things is it's not looking too good So they're probably trying to you know distance themself as Much as possible So I can definitely see why they would pull the plug on Brock returning back Dub about to be Papa champagne tonight I don't think dub too much cares But it's gonna be interesting to see what he has to say about this whole thing I talked to him about it so y'all can get get his opinion on it as well Well, most likely definitely talk about that tonight Because everybody's been wanting to know what Doug has to say But let me pull up this article so you guys can see what I'm talking about So right here Slim Jim's WWE Royal Rumble sponsorship deal may be in jeopardy after Vince McMahon's Accusations WWE have previously announced a partnership with Slim Jim in August of 2023 Marketing marking the beginning of a collaboration at SummerSlam. However on January 25th 2024 WWE unveiled the I Don't know why it started playing for my phone. That's funny. That's weird actually. Have y'all heard some like echo the live my live right now Randomly started playing for my phone. I didn't even do anything. I Even doing I ain't even doing anything. It just randomly started playing for my phone I was so that was weird. That's kind of creepy. I don't know what the fuck that was It just opened up on my phone the live right now the live that I'm on weird However on January 25th, 2024 WWE unveiled I must be getting too much close to the truth. I don't know WWE unveiled the WWE and Slim Jim car sweepstakes Unfortunately, the official contest page on WWE.com has been taken down displaying the message you are not authorized to access this page This move hints at a potential strain in their relationship Which may be linked to the recent accusations against Vince McMahon regarding sex trafficking the future of this partnership appears to be in Hanging in the balance on Friday afternoon the Twitter account Russell votes brought attention to the situation by reporting that there are Murmurs and suggesting that Slim Jim has informed WWE of their decision to withdraw their sponsorship from the Upcoming Royal Rumble event which is scheduled for the following day the ultimate fate of their partnership remains uncertain at this time This is the tweet in rumblings that Slim Jim has notified WWE They are pulling their sponsorship from tomorrow's Royal Rumble event It is yet to be determined if they will remain partners in the future and that's very interesting That's very interesting considering considering Who else may pull back? Who other what other? Sponsorships may pull back because of these allegations towards Vince That's the question and I know for a fact Slim Jim was paying them some good money probably in the in the millions So the question becomes What's gonna happen next? You know who else may pull out? Will this affect the overall deal with? Netflix who knows I don't know apparently they were supposed to have a documentary about Vince McMahon's life I think they're probably gonna have to put that on hold. Netflix had a documentary plan for Vince McMahon's life Coming up soon, and then this happened. So unless they're gonna put these allegations in that documentary I don't know if people are gonna be that interested to hear About Vince's life story like that. I don't know. So it's gonna be very interesting to see what's gonna happen, but Um It could be a situation where other sponsors may want to try to distance themselves until things die down and You know, we we may be in a situation where that that may be the case So we will see if that happens But let's get right into what you guys are here for my preview and predictions for tomorrow's Royal Rumble Now the one thing I can say that I'm liking about tomorrow's Royal Rumble and what I've been liking about WWE's PLE's for the past few years is the fact that they're they're not overblown it There's not 20 different matches, you know They they get straight to the point and this year's Royal Rumble is an extension of that We're starting off the calendar year for WWE in a great way outside of the controversy and stuff DX suck it. Thanks for the two man. Appreciate that. Um, this year's Royal Rumble cart is only four matches four matches and Honestly, I am I am very uh, I guess you can say I'm very excited about that That is only gonna be four matches. It's not gonna be a whole bunch of matches throughout the show We're gonna get right into it and and be on our way and that's what I'm happy about So that's that's it starting off good. Just with them only having four matches for the show. That's it. Yes four matches You got the United States Championship match the women's Royal Rumble a match the undisputed Universal Championship fatal four-way match and the men's Royal Rumble match. That's it Four matches and I'm okay with that because obviously the men's and the women's Royal Rumble match is probably gonna You know take a decent amount of time Which means they'll probably give Uh, the United States Championship and the undisputed wwe uh championship fatal four-way match They'll probably give them a little bit more time. So I appreciate the five. Can I get a shout out? I mean zombie everybody sees sees you uh In here, but shout out to you man You know when you donate you you damn they're shouting yourself out, but I appreciate that bro so This is this is gonna be very very very interesting We're gonna start with the United States Championship match Logan Paul versus Kevin Owens and uh, I did see the clip of Kevin Owens and uh, Logan Paul at the uh, performance center Quote on quote, you know practicing and getting ready and there was a a little uh, A bruja and I love that. I love what they were doing there So it happened to be there recording on instagram live or whatever and they started fighting and I love when WWE keeps a little bit of decay fable live. I love what they're doing there I that I thought that was very very dope. I'm interested to see How this is gonna play out um, I'm looking forward to just Just uh, this match. I think this match is gonna be good. Um Logan Paul has in my opinion. He has not missed. He is not missed when it comes to the matches so far And I'm I'm definitely loving what they're doing here with Logan Paul as this annoying heel that happens to be the united states champion and Like I said, all the matches he has had in WWE whether you like him or not and I'm always say this They've been on point. They have been on point and I want to say Uh, I think I did see an article of Logan Paul um renewing his uh His they extended his contract with WWE. I believe I did see a report today talked about them extending his contract Which makes sense Is make it makes sense, but if I had to choose who's winning I love Kevin Owens, but I think Logan Paul is retaining I think Logan Paul is definitely retaining the united states championship I don't think he should be losing it until maybe the wrestleman uh, WrestleMania That's probably the time he will probably drop the uh the championship So I do have Logan Logan Paul retaining. I can see him obviously cheating Of course like last time, um, I do see him in some form of fashion Cheating to retain and what I hope they do and I hope we get to that point And I'll talk about this later on. I hope we get a la night Logan Paul match at WrestleMania That's that's where I hope We we end up at the destination I hope we end up with a la night And Logan Paul match for the united states championship. That's where he needs to go And you can have la night finally Finally be on a WrestleMania card and actually finally getting a main roster championship in the united states championship I see a lot of y'all saying yeah, that's where I think they should take it. I hope they do They have had a little bit of interaction for the money in the bank. You guys remember that last year. So I think it they I think they're gonna be fantastic going against each other on the microphone. This is gonna be good This is gonna be good. So I do think this match is going to be a pretty good match It's going to be some situations where it looks like Kevin Owens may win it But ultimately I think Logan Paul is going to cheat to win Retain the championship and I can see him Logan Paul versus la night for the united states championship at WrestleMania I'm here for it. So we'll see how that plays out But I'm going with Logan Paul to beat Kevin Owens next the women's royal rumble match This one's tough I'm being dead ass This one's tough I know there's been a lot of speculation and rumors of of Sasha Being at the royal rumble. We're making a return. That could be a thing Ah, they could they could they could tell the story of maybe Becky being a two-time royal rumble winner. That can be a thing you also Depending. I don't know what they're doing with jay cargill She can make her debut at the royal rumble match in the women's royal rumble, which I think that would be a good spot for her as well I know there's been a lot of rumors of aj lee making a return That would be crazy That would be very very very very very crazy You got the script Ross. Don't lie. I don't have the script. I don't know this one I really don't know and then a lot of people think bailey It's the favorite A lot of people are saying Naomi could return But I do see a lot of people saying bailey could be the favorite and honestly If I had to think about it, I still think they're going to do Becky versus, um versus, um What's her name? I can't even real Ripley. I think they're going to do Becky versus real Ripley. I think that's still going to happen but To get the best possible story To get the very best possible story bailey winning would make some sense Because If you have someone returning win You kind of throw Becky out you kind of cast her aside and I think the story they've been wanting to tell is Becky versus real that's the story they want to tell So I think they're going to keep that going which means Is it has to be someone that's been on the roster and it has to be someone that has potential story with and I think bailey winning And then Eventually is the situation Where it's going to cause even more conflict with damage control To the point where bailey ends up saying, you know what? Fuck it. I'm challenging you At wrestlemania. I'm okay with that I'm okay with that and at that point. I think you have to turn bailey face I think her heel turn it worked in the beginning But now for me it's gotten stale. I think you turn her face Because I do think damage control is going to turn on her I think damage control is going to turn on here and she's gonna be like, all right I'm going after you now, yo and I would do that so, uh, I I think Damage control turns back on bailey. Yeah, I think that's what's going to happen I think that would probably be the best situation only because now bailey's by herself She has to go against the odds against the group that she created They've turned on her or whatnot and they've been planting the seeds of that and if you're gonna do this The the match has been set. They've been planting the seeds of bailey Versus eo For a while now and I think the catalyst to that Needs to be her winning the royal rumble and I'm okay with that I don't think anyone would have a problem with that. So It could be very very interesting Uh to see how this could happen um Becky doesn't need the royal rumble match for a championship match and that's a very good point. That's what I'm saying They don't have to give her the match win twice. They can find a way Uh to get her in the match against rhea Ripley at wrestling Yes, that's that's a money match that you would want to put on anyway. So Someone said bailey wins the royal rumble and becky wins the elimination chamber. They can do that very easily So i'm going with bailey to win And then ultimately bailey challenging eo For the championship at wrestle mania. I'm here for it. We'll see how that plays out next The undisputed WWE universal championship fatal four-way match between roman reigns randy orton aj styles la night What are we talking about? Come on now? Come on now Come on now Come on Come on. I I see some of y'all saying randy wins Come on now Come on the ref is winning come come on now And I do think this match is going to be fun. I think this match is going to be fun Really really fun You have randy orton roman reigns aj styles la night. They all have issues with roman I'm just waiting for the spot Where everyone finally I can see a situation and they all start fighting each other and roman is kind of just Sitting back or whatnot and I can't wait to see the spot where they all stop fighting And they all look at roman That is the spot i'm waiting for They all stop fighting They all look at roman And they proceed to stump roman into another dimension I mean stomp him out stomp him back to his samoan tribe Stomp him back to his samoan roots I'm dead serious. That's the spot. I want to see All all the rest of the competitors aj la and randy say, you know what? Let's jump them and they jump him and paul hamons crying. I mean they jump Stomp him into the multiverse facts That's it. That's the only thing i'm waiting for I'm not waiting for anything else Stomp him into oblivion And then of course there's gonna be some shenanigans solo and jimmy's gonna get involved And that's probably gonna be one of the ways he retains That's it That's it I got a thousand bucks someone from the bloodline. Oh, yeah Yeah The only thing that makes this match somewhat entertaining is because you have randy or an aj 1000 la knight in it. That's it If this was a 101 with randy or aj It'd be cool But we know how it ends the only reason why this is any more entertaining is because you have three other guys there So that's that's the only thing the finish will most likely be the same Someone's gonna interfere rep is not gonna what doesn't matter. It's a fatal pull away. So anything can go so They've already had that out If that opens the show, uh Watch out I don't know now. I don't I don't see them I don't see that match open in the show the united states championship match or the women's It's either it'll probably be the women's royal rumble match And then the united states championship match Or they could have the united states championship match opened up and then the women's match Be the second one and then space it out with the I think the the wwe championship match is obviously gonna go second to last so But yep, uh roman's retaining That's about it. Uh, and it's not really much prediction there. I know some of y'all are hoping that randy wins I I hate to be the bearer of bad news randy's not stopping it so Yep, that's the thing. Um, and now we're down to the men's royal rumble match now Things have been obviously in disarray this week I initially felt like it should be cody and cm punk as the last two I really thought it should be cody and cm punk in the last as the last two But I just don't know because I I do feel like Goonther is that dark horse now I do feel like Since potentially the whole situation with brock lesnar is now pretty much out the door And I think brock was going to be the sit the thing that kept Goonther busy. I do think goonther may be Goonther could win this I'm not even gonna hold you I could it's It's one of those things. I honestly truly felt The last two should be cm punk and and and uh CM punk and uh and cody but now I don't know I don't know I don't know This is a tough one This is a tough one bro I'm Even when it was just cm punk and cody I always thought cm punk was gonna win it But now that they've been what they've been doing with goonther the teachers they've been making with goonther I'm not even gonna lie to you bro Here's the thing. I will say this My gut feeling is saying That is gonna probably be goonther like my gut feeling the same is gonna be goonther But there's still that part of me that feels like It could be cm punk There's two reasons why I feel that way On why I'm I'm kind of undecided if cm punk wins then it's gonna be cm punk versus seff roland's But the problem with that is seff is not a hundred percent so There's always going to be a caveat If seff versus cm punk because seff we know now it's not going to be a hundred percent even by russomanian time He's not So it's not gonna look the same and it's not gonna feel the same If cm punk wins if y'all get what I'm getting Like oh you won But at the same time the guy was already not at a hundred percent anyway So if they don't do that and they go with goonther That would make a little bit more sense for goonther's character Because anyone can buy in to goonther beating seff roland's clean a hundred percent But we can also buy in that goonther's gonna do whatever it takes to injure seff roland's even more And it fits along the lines of goonther's heel character Because right now cm punk's a baby face So you're gonna have a baby face beat up an injured baby face unless you were to turn up heel Which I don't see them doing that right now So If i'm gonna book this and we have to kind of play around seff roland's injury It would make sense if goonther won it because we now know goonther has already said if it's me versus you at russomania I'm going to target your knee. I'm gonna target everything that's hurt with you That makes sense We know that And it's more believable if a heel is attacking and beating seff roland's so The that's the only reason why I say that Because of the injury if he didn't get injured I would go with cm punk But since he did get injured and they want to keep keep cm punk as a baby face I'm probably most likely gonna go with goonther on this one. I just I think goonther's gonna I think punk is a tweeter. No, he's a baby face, bro. Everywhere. He goes. He's not a tweeter, bro He's a baby face. You may think he's it. No, he is a baby face. He gets a baby face reaction No one's booing him. He is a baby face So, um, um, and there's still a part of me that thinks cm punk's gonna win but The only reason why unless and this is another caveat unless Biggie returns That's the only way I see goonther not being involved in a championship situation Biggie would have to return. So there's caveats here If biggie returns then the last two people is going to be most likely cody and cm punk If biggie does not return Then the last two will probably be like cm punk and goonther or Or they do a rematch from last year where it's cody and goonther again What about drew now? I don't see drew winning it So that's the only reason why I say That's the if you're gonna have goonther in this match and you've built them up like this Unless he's gonna have a prominent few but then they already announced that um Biggie or they've already announced kofi kinsen supposed to challenge goonther Uh for the intercontinental championships. I don't know man I don't know, bro This is tough This is tough But if I had to really choose And I think they're trying to push him to the main event scene I think I'm gonna go goonther, bro. I think goonther's gonna win it And I don't have a problem with it. I know I initially wanted cody I mean one it's uh cm punk to win because I was ready for that cm punk seff roland's feud But I think they have to hold off on that because seff is not going to be 100 By time we get to wrestle maybe I just don't see it And you know like I'm sure he'll be able to wrestle but I don't see him being 100 And I think you can if you're gonna do that You can you can wait you can build up that feud at a later time So that's that's how I'm going with it. I think because of the injury And the uncertainty of his his uh return time like health wise I go with goonther to win it when this year's royal rumble, which honestly I don't think anyone would really have a problem with goonther is a viable person And he deserves to be in that situation He deserves the main event of wrestlemania because he's been putting on some of the best work In wwe for the past few years His work rate is better than roman reigns and roman reigns has had some great matches But he has elevated that intercontinental championship to heights we haven't seen in a very long time And the matches he has had have been fantastic They have They have And the fact he beats people clean He doesn't have to cheat to win He's a dominant heel Goonther I'm gonna go with him to win it Unless biggie returns a biggie returns to no, but if biggie don't return I'm going with him to win it. I would It'll be him then in second place. I think it would be ceo punk If goonther doesn't win then ceo pump, but I'm definitely going with goonther. It's the first choice, man Yeah, and that's my predictions man. It's gonna be very interesting to see how things play out uh tomorrow I'm looking forward to it, bro. The royal rumble is just It's it's been one of those pay reviews where you know, they it hasn't always been Uh, exciting, but this one this year outside of The bullshit that we've we've seen what what's been going on with wwe as of late I will say this year. This year seems very Very very very unpredictable Let's see. I'm gonna read some of these super chats before I get out of here The injury that ceo has can be used as a story for a rematch when ceo comes back Ceo punk is more popular with the fans as well better business They could but here's the thing the only reason why I say They're probably gonna put goonther in that spot because goonther is already a heel People were interested to see ceo punk versus sef roland's ceo punk was the baby face Seth is a baby face, but they have issue. So that was gonna work regardless, but you don't want A baby face to face another baby face that's already injured legitimately It's not gonna work dynamically because people can just say because it is gonna look ceo punk looks more like a heel Because obviously he's gonna attack the injured parts of sef so what better way to Make that dynamic work didn't have a heel Already be the baby face that's trying as hardest to fight through everything. It works It works So well, that's why I say that Punk character is basically a heel already. Where how? How's he a heel? I'm he hasn't done anything he'll like Other than talk trash. It's not a heel I'm trying to figure out where I don't know if y'all be listening to the same crowds or Or do y'all have your tv on mute it because every time ceo punk has came out He's gotten probably the loudest reaction There's he's not gonna be a heel for a while. I can tell y'all that now Anywhere he goes you're gonna get ceo punk chance. So that's why I'm I'm like, I don't know what y'all watching He's obviously the top baby face in the company Him and cody are like the top baby faces in the company in la night So that's why I'm like y'all. I don't know what y'all watching y'all may want him to be a heel But he's I'm telling we know see him punk when he's a heel. This ain't it This is definitely not it. Um They've already planted seeds for sefton punk rock wins the rumble the face roman Reigns goonter loses. I see at elimination chamber the cody and goonter Will do an edge and replace someone in the number one's contender match with sef huh What Now even goonter loses the icy at elimination chamber the cody Huh, I appreciate the the don't know alem for what? Well, how did When did the elimination chamber match only become The title on question was for the intercontinental championship wait That's not cody's story cody and went trying to be the intercontinental champion. He's been the intercontinental champion What? That was probably the funniest don't know that doesn't even make Cody in the side quest for the icy title is fucking wild Hey ross if goonter wins Do you think it would be for the title title for title also? What's your thoughts on the elimination chamber? Uh for 87 episode Huh, huh? I don't know what you're talking about. Um It would probably most likely be title for title. Yeah, it doesn't make sense for him to not defend the title He it would probably be title for title Because it would have to be if sef is fighting him the other title would have to be on the line Because it's not fair if the champ only gets to retain his title but not take yours So now it would have to be title for title on the line Who do you think turns heel first cody or punk punk? Cody cody is perpetually going to be a a mega baby face That's it. He's done. He I don't see him being a heel punk I see punk turning heel once he aligns himself with paul heyman again That's when he'll probably turn heel But it's not gonna happen anytime soon Hey, I ain't gonna lie to you that alintana donation was wild appreciate the one Christian appreciate the ten. I don't know if they're going to do this now since sef is injured. There would be Uh, the last two eliminate themselves same time out the ring for the for the reins Two titles. Yeah, that's that's too complicated. There's a lot of factors They don't need to do two people get eliminated at the same time. We don't need to do that Rossi missed both my donos um I'm getting to him right now, man Uh Liv is an underrated pick to win in my opinion. Liv is not winning and I appreciate your opinion on that She's not winning the match I'm being honest with you There ain't too many people trying to see Liv Morgan in the main event a resonator no disrespect But no No, I'm sorry. I'm sorry. Liv is cool. But no Some of y'all are but no Um, appreciate the 199. You got the script online. No, I don't Mobile again. Yo Ross. Love you, bro. Appreciate you. Um Denisha Lane said Ross vitz removed Removed ed from roster page. Yes by That was some broken English. What are you talking about? Let me see wwe Dot com roster page So you're saying Vince is removed from the roster page The hate for Liv is crazy. The one's hating on her is just we gotta stop living in this delusional land As if boys is trying to see her in the main event. They're not A surprise entrance. Sure. But the main event a resonator. No, stop it relax Like relax I don't uh, where do you go to superstars? Um, I don't see I don't know. Is he talking about Was Vince McMahon on the roster like that on the uh superstar roster? Do y'all know If Vince McMahon was ever on the superstar roster Because I'm looking right now He was Yeah, he's right here. I don't know what you talking about. Yeah There you go Yeah, he's right here. I'm looking at him just to let y'all know Vince is still on the wwe roster. Mr. McMahon Yeah, he's still here. They didn't remove him. He's probably gonna be there until They decide to remove this this old guy. Yeah, he's still there So, um, let's see this someone added some more dough knows Watch my new episode 487 and Bailey should win it. Uh, though, uh, I definitely will check it out I've just been busy with other content right now. Gunther has to drop the ic title before mania. You think so? That's uh, I mean, he has plenty of time Ross. Can we confirm Vince is the ultimate menace? um, even before Those allegations Vince was always the ultimate menace man. He was always ultimate menace But yeah, man, I just wanted to do a quick live stream For my preview and predictions for the royal rumble man. I appreciate y'all joining in um If y'all want me to do more of my preview and predictions videos like This let me know. I definitely will the only reason why I don't go live after like each pay-per-view Obviously because we we are usually just finishing up the live on the main channel So I don't want to kind of double back if that makes any sense, but um Yeah, I'm definitely gonna I definitely uh, like uh, like doing these um Sanity said Damian priest still has the briefcase. This is true. Um, I don't know when they're gonna incorporate him into the mix at some point. I think sometime before WrestleMania this year, he's gonna cash in and I think he's gonna fail Due to some shamanigans with judgment day. I I can see that happening Guto wins royal rumble final two in 2014 Guto wins roman was final two in 2014 and won in 2015 That's a fair point. That's a good point there Hey ross is this is what's happening. Book it roman wins solo and jimmy help him and that's That uh, and that's uh, what's the rock comes out and they have a match at elimination chamber I uh We can we're gonna have to kind of debt the elimination chamber stuff only because the rock has made it very clear He wants to have this match at WrestleMania and it's probably gonna happen that way. So Yeah But amen, I appreciate y'all For you know saying joining in once again. This was very very fun Hopefully you guys enjoy y'all the rest of y'all friday afternoon We will be going live on the inter crush page for the uh smackdown go home show So be on the lookout for that.
