00:00 Welcome to the WrestleTalk News, I'm Pete Quinnell.

00:09 If you've been paying attention to the last few weeks of Raw in particular, you'd have

00:12 noticed some interesting things.

00:14 Gunther vs Tommaso Ciampa in the main event, the tag titles being more important than ever

00:18 in recent history, Tegan Nox being back on our screens, Johnny Gargano returning to reunite

00:22 DIY… these don't seem like Vince McMahon booking decisions, do they?

00:27 Well there may be a reason for that.

00:30 PWInsider originally reported that the word going around backstage in WWE was that Vince

00:34 McMahon was no longer involved creatively in the company.

00:37 The reported belief among wrestlers was that Endeavor had knighted Triple H to run creative

00:41 and he'll be responsible for 99.9% of it going forward.

00:45 It's worth noting that this was not confirmed, but is what the wrestlers believe to be true.

00:49 Fightful Select then had a follow-up report, noting a boost in morale backstage.

00:53 Vince McMahon reportedly over the last few months never sat in on creative meetings but

00:57 sent remote changes, often close to the show's airtime.

01:00 However over these last few weeks, those last minute changes have essentially stopped, aside

01:05 from last minute changes due to medical reasons.

01:07 This doesn't necessarily mean that Vince is out "for good" because he was out "for

01:11 good" when he retired last year, and look how that one turned out.

01:14 However, things are different now, in a post-merger world.

01:18 This isn't Vince's call anymore.

01:19 Sean Ross Sapp had some interesting speculation on the Fightful post-Raw show where he took

01:23 a guess at what he thought could be happening here.

01:26 Let's paint a potential picture, as I paraphrase Sean's words.

01:30 "Vince McMahon never wanted to leave.

01:32 He thought he was bulletproof but was forced to, so he 'retired.'

01:36 He then found the one deal, the merger, that would allow him to come back, but everybody

01:40 else around him knows that WWE is better off creatively and financially without him."

01:45 So yes, Ari Emanuel allowed Vince to return to the fold, but now the merger is done and

01:50 sorted, Vince is being taken off of the creative side of things to allow WWE to flourish, and

01:55 so Vince can remain as a figurehead.

01:57 He's nothing more than a relic, a statue in the corner.

02:00 He's effectively an all but job title been removed from WWE.

02:05 Again, all speculation, but educated speculation.

02:09 Which means now, with Vince's lack of overall voting power, this could genuinely actually

02:14 be the end of Vince McMahon in WWE Creative.

02:18 But much like the wrestlers mentioned in Fightful's report, I'll believe it when I see it.

02:22 Now today is Tuesday, the 10th of October, 2023, and lots of important things are happening

02:27 today.

02:28 It's Tempest's birthday, it's Tony Khan's birthday, it's NXT, and it's Dynamite.

02:33 This past week in wrestling news has been talking about the insane lengths both shows

02:37 are going to to stack the deck and make sure they win in the ratings war.

02:41 It's insane, and I love it.

02:43 NXT will feature John Cena, Paul Heyman, Asuka, Cody Rhodes making an announcement,

02:49 and a teased appearance from The Undertaker.

02:51 Which is already bonkers itself, but just to add insult to injury, it was then announced

02:56 that the first 30 minutes of NXT tonight will also be commercial free.

03:01 I'm sure Tony Khan took this reasonably-oh, no wait, he went on a tirade it seems.

03:06 Tony Khan responded in kind by announcing that AEW Dynamite's first 30 minutes are

03:10 also going to be commercial free.

03:13 Anything WWE can do, TK can also do.

03:16 But it didn't end there, because TK then announced a 30 minute buy-in show before Dynamite,

03:21 which would also feature Eddie Kingston vs. Minoru Suzuki for the Ring of Honor and New

03:26 Japan strong titles, and Fightful confirmed that Dynamite also secured a 10 minute overrun

03:32 for their show tonight.

03:34 Wrestling is absolutely wild, and I'm so here for it.

03:38 TK also had some fun tweeting like a madman through the night last night, including tweeting

03:42 this gif.

03:45 Subtle Tony.

03:46 He also called out a fan who said he wasn't going to watch with a gif of Roddy Strong

03:49 saying "who gives a f***".

03:51 And when others complained about him tweeting it, saying that if Vince did something like

03:54 this AEW fans would be furious and crying, TK responded to them saying "if Sir Vince

03:59 McMahon said this, it would be the least of his alleged misdeeds".

04:03 At this point, I'm convinced Tony Schiavone is just going to start spoiling the main event

04:06 of NXT when Dynamite starts tonight.

04:08 Now have fun tonight everybody, and enjoy wrestling.

04:12 Now over to Luke for the Raw review.

04:14 Well thank you for that little bit of news, but before we get into the Raw review, it's

04:17 time to hear about another potential match of the year candidate with a Spotify Premium

04:23 member Mark Markison.

04:25 That's interesting Mark, what's your favourite album of all time?

04:28 Oh I don't have time to listen to music, I have wrestling to watch.

04:31 But I mean, you do stuff outside of this, right?

04:34 Like you have downtime, surely you do other things.

04:36 Here's where you're going wrong Luke, you see if you're a real fan of wrestling, you

04:39 watch every single show, otherwise you don't deserve an opinion.

04:42 The best wrestling this week came from the final of Stardom's 5 star Grand Prix between

04:46 Maika and Suzu Suzuki.

04:48 Now I read on the internet that nobody cares about women's wrestling, and that's a shame,

04:52 because the women in this match delivered 15 minutes of breakneck combat.

04:55 After brawling on the outside for a while, they squared up and each pointed at the ring

04:58 agreeing that they were too good for this to end anywhere other than the mat, and they

05:02 proved it, as they wrestled a superb, even match that barely stopped for breath.

05:07 Their chemistry was perfect, their moves were crisp and tight, snap German here, poison

05:11 rana there.

05:12 The narrative within it was superb too, using their momentum against each other.

05:15 As the clock ran down, Maika went for this unbelievable avalanche suplex, only to roll

05:19 through and hit a three amigos.

05:21 It was just stunning.

05:23 But it was Suzuki who climbed to the top rope and hit her Sky Twister press to score the

05:28 three.

05:29 Breathtaking, outstanding, it's almost impossible to give this match a high enough rating.

05:34 But what give a mark you have to?

05:37 Like that's why you're here, is to give us star ratings.

05:40 It was really good.

05:42 Yeah, I get that, but like, you've got one job, bud.

05:46 You need to give us a star rating here, mate.

05:48 What was I on?

05:49 I'm going to check.

05:50 It's better than last week, I can...

05:53 It's worth 25, was where you were on last time.

05:55 So 25.

05:56 Well, I'll leave it to fate.

05:57 The match was so good, I'll leave it up to fate then.

05:59 So 25 plus three, 28 stars.

06:06 I don't know what his qualifications are, really.

06:10 Where did you find him?

06:13 Really?

06:14 Surprising.

06:15 Honestly, I can't believe that accent is fake.

06:19 But anyway, it's now time for my review of Monday Night Raw, aka the - he's gone,

06:24 right?

06:25 For sure?

06:26 He's gone this time?

06:27 - edition of Monday Night Raw, in about 5 minutes.

06:30 The show opened with Seth Rollins coming out to celebrate his World Championship defence

06:33 at Fastlane, teasing the idea that he was going to have to relinquish the title due

06:38 to his ouchie back, but revealed that he's just getting started.

06:41 The crowd enjoyed this bait and switch, but then booed him when he said he wanted a night

06:45 off.

06:46 I don't give a toss about your bad back, mate.

06:49 Do a stomp.

06:50 Drew McIntyre came out to challenge Seth for a match for the title - not tonight, not next

06:54 week, but when Seth is 100% a crown jewel.

06:57 Seth accepted the challenge and continued his party before being attacked by Damian

07:02 Priest.

07:03 Drew watched on as Seth was being beaten down, but then stopped Dominik Mysterio from handing

07:06 Priest the briefcase to cash in, and Seth took Damian out later.

07:10 Seth asked Drew why he wouldn't help New Day but would help him, and Drew responded

07:15 - sensibly so - that he's only getting involved in other people's business when it's also

07:20 his business.

07:21 This is a great character beat for Drew, and one that I particularly enjoyed.

07:25 Damian Priest held up J.D. McDonough which looked like that one meme for a bit, and asked

07:29 him to take out Drew McIntyre later - spoilers for later in this review, that didn't go

07:33 well for J.D.

07:34 They also announced that Judgment Day will get a rematch against Cody Rhodes and Jey

07:38 Uso for the tag titles next week.

07:40 Speaking of things I enjoyed, Kofi Kingston took on Ivar of the Viking Raiders in a Viking

07:44 Rules match - but not before WWE successfully trolled me into thinking my broadcast had

07:49 gone wrong when Michael Cole and Wade Barrett were dubbed in French.

07:53 It was actually just a short promotional piece for Paris 2024, but it genuinely made me think

07:58 something had gone wrong.

07:59 Well played WWE, well played.

08:01 This match wasn't as good as their out of nowhere banger they had a couple of weeks

08:05 ago but it was still a hell of a lot of fun.

08:06 Valhalla got involved and Ivar squashed Woods against the barricade, and then hit Kofi with

08:11 the moonsault for the win.

08:12 Raquel Rodriguez and Nia Jax had a pretty standard Giant Test battle which wasn't

08:16 all that interesting, and then ended in a DQ which made it even less interesting.

08:20 Are we sure Vince is gone?

08:22 Rhea Ripley ran in and brawled before Shayna Baszler also ran in for more brawling.

08:26 She took out Ripley and stood tall.

08:27 The post-match was better than all the actual stuff bell to bell.

08:30 Later in the show Rhea demanded a match with Baszler which will happen next week.

08:33 Jey and Cody came out for a promo but were quickly interrupted by Kevin Owens and Sami

08:37 Zayn who came out to the wrong theme, someone tweet Matthew and let him know, and they set

08:42 up a tag match for later tonight with the titles on the line.

08:44 They laid down some groundwork for Cody still having his sights set on Roman finishing the

08:49 story with Cole even asking Cody about his dad.

08:52 But I am glad that they followed up on the Sami and KO grievances with Jey winning the

08:57 tag belt that they worked so hard to get off him at WrestleMania.

09:00 And if you didn't need any more confirmation that Triple H was for sure running all of

09:04 this broadcast, then check this out.

09:06 Ricochet, Bronson Reed and Chad Gable had a triple threat match to crown a new number

09:09 one contender to Gunther for next week.

09:12 This is proper MyGM booking, including spending that extra bit of money on a Nakamura run

09:16 in to grow that rivalry.

09:18 Earlier in the broadcast, Shinsuke Nakamura tried to cut a promo about his Fastlane loss

09:22 but was attacked by Ricochet.

09:23 Nakamura responded by attacking Ricochet during his entrance and laid him out with a GTS,

09:28 Hideo Itami WWE return confirmed.

09:30 They later announced that Ricochet will face Nakamura next week.

09:33 This was a great triple threat as you would expect, and the final few minutes were fantastic.

09:38 Gable hit Ricochet with a Chaos Theory suplex, but Reed pulled Ricochet out of the move then

09:42 slammed him into Gable.

09:44 He then hit the Tsunami for the win.

09:46 Superb stuff, and sets up a big meaty men slapping meat match for Gunther next week.

09:51 Becky Lynch promoted her new book and Xia Li walked up asking "what about her?"

09:56 What about Xia Li?

09:57 Good question, but what about her?

09:58 She hasn't had a match on Raw or Smackdown since March 24th when she teamed with Lacey

10:03 Evans of all people.

10:04 That was before WrestleMania.

10:06 But yeah, if you main event heads are around there I know she's been wrestling on that

10:09 show.

10:11 Not winning of course, she's even been beaten by Nikki Cross and Indi Hartwell.

10:14 So yeah, what about Xia Li?

10:16 But this is what Becky's NXT Women's Championship run should be giving us.

10:20 They're treating it like a mid-card women's title, and it's allowing for more women

10:24 to get on the show and show us what they can do.

10:27 Drew McIntyre destroyed JD McDonough in a handful of minutes in a match that you knew

10:31 wasn't going to go too long when Dom interfered and it did not lead to Raw rolling on.

10:35 The match just continued with no ad break, and Drew won.

10:38 Good stuff.

10:39 Wade Barrett interviewed DIY and they were attacked by Imperium.

10:42 Giovanni Vinci also got a 10/10 No-Nos video package later in the broadcast too.

10:46 It was so good.

10:47 Becky Lynch beat Tegan Nox to retain her NXT Women's Championship - a very good match.

10:51 Nox got a video package before, and this match did so much more to get her over than the

10:55 previous two weeks of two minute matches.

10:57 Sadly those short matches meant that this crowd never bought Nox as a genuine threat

11:01 to Bex and therefore didn't pop for any of her near falls, but Michael Cole did go

11:05 out of his way to put over this match and the idea of losing in defeat was all good

11:10 stuff.

11:11 Tegan was upset backstage and was consoled by Natalya.

11:13 The party girls walked up to start a row, and that row was completed by Chelsea Green

11:17 and Piper Niven to set up a match between Niven and Nattie for next week.

11:20 It's been a while since I've got to do this, but all together now, all the Raw women

11:25 standing in a row.

11:26 And the main event saw Kevin Owens and Sami Zayn - with correct music this time - having

11:30 a barnstormer of a tag match with Cody Rhodes and Jey Uso.

11:33 I really enjoyed the emotion of this match, as parts of it were just trying to wrestle

11:38 cordially and respectfully, but it kept boiling over into actual animosity fighting.

11:43 It was great.

11:44 And Cody and Jey won clean with a co-1D - which for my money is a better name than the Cody

11:48 1D.

11:49 And perhaps most surprisingly of all, Kevin Owens hugged Jey after the match and celebrated

11:53 with him.

11:54 They're friends now.

11:55 Friends.

11:56 And that was the show and what a fun time it was.

11:58 Everything they did hit by the Nia Jax match of course, and continued this hot streak for

12:02 WWE.

12:03 This week's show is 4 out of 5.

12:05 You think you know and have opinions on all the women's champions?

12:09 Well here's me and Pete reviewing every WWE Women's Champion in three words or less

12:13 few- sorry what?

12:14 What's up now?

12:15 Alright, come here.

12:16 What's wrong now?

12:17 No, you're not on the list.

12:18 Because you're not a- okay, I'll ask you a question.

12:29 Did you win the WWE Women's Championship or the Divas Championship?

12:33 Oh, I think that's a lie.
