About this episode

Ben, Khal, and Brian kick off the show by discussing Brian’s incredible weekend; he went two for two in our Royal Rumble draft, and his Lakers made a WWE-to-AEW-like trade, acquiring Luka Doncic (0:30). Then, they discuss an action-packed 'Raw':

  • Kevin Owens closed the show by beating down his best friend, Sami Zayn (9:50)
  • Early Elimination Chamber predictions (16:40)
  • Seth Rollins vs. Roman Reigns at WrestleMania loading (23:25)?
  • Jey Uso’s heartfelt promo after winning the Rumble (35:22)
  • Rhea Ripley confronted Charlotte Flair (51:57)
  • The New Day’s new theme song (57:45)
  • Where the hell is Chad Gable going (1:00:46)?

Then, in Nostalgia Freakz, they revisit the empty arena match between the Rock and Mankind at Halftime Heat in 1999 during Super Bowl XXXIII (1:02:31).

Last, in They Said What?!, they react to a HOT take from you, the people, responding to Shoemaker’s hot take on Jey Uso being a “1B main-eventer” (1:15:20).
