Elimination Chamber 2026 Predictions

0:03Peter Rosenberg! Shout out to that guy, yeah. The major stick. Oh my goodness. It's professional wrestling. The king of KGP. 24 seconds. A thousand percent confirmed. M-m-mage. Stay mage and enjoy yourself. M-m-m-m-m-m-mage.

0:34It's still rooted.

0:58Sweet, sweet Peter Rosenberg. Shout out to that guy, Greg. I like delicious chicken. It was Rappaud. It was Rappaud. It's professional. Wrestling. Wrestling. Welcome, welcome, welcome to the world's number one sports and recreation podcast, Cheap Heat. I'm your forever 24-7 champion, Peter Rosenberg. Happy to be with you from the world's capital, New York, New York. I am heading out to Chicago late tonight. I'm on the last thing out of Newark tonight so I could be with you from my home studio. Joining me from Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, it is the physically large stack guy, Greg. I got to say, I so wish I could be in Chicago this weekend.

1:43I have a feeling it's going to be one of the big weekends of the year. You really? Is that where you're at? That's where I'm at right now. definitely of the year so far easily of the year so far what do you hold on this is this wasn't where i was expecting to start um and we'll get to dipperstein in a moment when he deals with whatever he's dealing with at his grandparents house um why are you sensing this because this makes me feel excited i want to know what i've what i've been sensing so far with the triple h era the ple the paul levec era is that wrestlemania is the big show yes we all get that we all understand that but he's been making a real effort to make these sort of shows in the in between in the downtime feel like something right jade attacked naomi at elimination chamber cena completed his heel turn at elimination chamber summer slams gone to two nights he's been making these sort of middle of the road shows feel like something.

2:50And in years past, Elimination Chamber would just be another stop on the road to WrestleMania. But I feel like in the Triple H era, this is a big deal. You know what I mean? And we got Punk in Chicago. He's probably going to main event because you cannot set him out in any other spot while he has a championship around his waist. Two Elimination Chamber matches. whatever is happening with the crate, this is going to be a big deal. Listen, you are, you are selling the show. Well, you should be on sports center today at one o 'clock. Not me. That's that's your, or actually it's airing at two o 'clock, but I got to tape it at one.

3:32So I'm going to, I'm going to have to jump off for five minutes to do this hit. And Dipperstein, assuming we get him here in a second, and now it appears that we may be getting him. And hopefully this doesn't ruin the whole show. because we remember we talked about this last week, SUG. Don't show up mid-segment because you might tank the whole show. Dip, rapper that he is, you know, superstar, you know, diva, whatever the word is you want for people who show up late, somehow still managed to show up a few minutes into the segment one. So let's hope that this doesn't tank everything. Dip, how are you?

4:08So we had a big mishap. The reason why I'm late is because the gate basically at my version of Del Boca Vista did not open. And you have tons of old people screaming and yelling at the gate. They've taken away the card reader. And so at Del Boca Vista now, you know, the old people have to figure out a way to get this gate open. And so there's a big controversy going on with the HOA. And frankly, the HOA president, he's got to go. The HOA president's got to go. I was going to say, it's the old people and you who have this problem. Yeah, I was about to say, that combo, SGG, that combo of the old plus Dipperstein, that is a dangerous, dangerous combination.

4:56It's an IT department's worst nightmare. He jobbed to the gate. He jobbed to the gate at the gated community. He did. I mean, the gates have evolved over the years. I've seen the evolution. A lot of times people just think if the gate doesn't open, they just roll right into the gate and blow the gate right off the hinge. I've seen every version of this. Well, listen, we're here. SGG out of the gate, pun intended, with a big take, in my opinion, that he really expects Chamber to be a big deal, given what we've seen from the Triple H era. Dip, do you agree with the sentiment, not based on what's been going on necessarily right now, but based on what we've seen overall over the last couple of years?

5:49Do you believe that chamber could be like Mage and be something real? Like last year was an earth shattering chamber. Do you think there could be a Mage Mage chamber tomorrow? I do. I think the result will be the same. I think Cody Rhodes will win. I'm sure we were going to do predictions later, but I mean, I think it's a Cody Rhodes obvious win, but I feel like it's a little bit more of an eclectic group this year. I feel like there's something a little extra now with Javon Evans in it. I basically feel like people are going to be watching the show to see the crazy things that Javon Evans does off this cage.

6:26I feel like at least the men's elimination chamber is going to be as mage as Javon Evans makes it. that's that's how I see it this year that's a lot of pressure on young Javon Evans who I had on the chamber preview show yesterday who admitted that he is nervous and I would like to see him figure out a way to go through the chamber through the chains I don't like a magic trick that would be you know it's funny people have started to you know Montez and and you know So was it Brock throwing theory off the pod? Yeah. We've had these moments now that have turned the chamber into like a, oh my God, crazy physical acts happen, not just violence in the chamber.

7:16But it's not a structure that lends itself to like the easiest trickery. Like it is not money in the bank. You know, it's not a rumble. It's kind of got limitations to what you can do that's crazy. It requires a lot of thought. You know, I wonder if Javon fully knows yet because he said that he has not yet been inside of it or touched it. He doesn't have any, like, eyes on an actual chamber. But obviously, he's watched all the matches. He's a super fan. But you know what I'm saying, SGG? You have, like, you have the space on top that limits you. You've got – there's a lot that's sort of limiting from the structure.

7:52I was going to say, as you say that, it reminded me of, like, a dunk contest, right? Because at the end of the day, everybody's doing a dunk. And it's like, how many different variations can you do on the dunk? And it's the same thing with chamber, right? The crazy thing to do is to jump off the pod, which we've seen literally since the first chamber. RVD did it. So how many different ways can you jump off the pod? And I guess that is the thing that makes it like less reason for Javon to have pressure. Because if he's going to do a crazy thing, that's the crazy thing, right? Just jump off the pod.

8:26put your twist on a jump off the pot you know what i could see him doing we have we have we have cage on top of the this this this there's cage angled cage on both sides of the top right yep is that what it is i could see and and and montez ford climbed and dropped off of the cage yes could you see a world in which javon maybe jumps from the pod catches like catches on the cage swings and flies down because he's bouncy we know this about a lot the man is bouncy up a storm dude it could be done i think if anybody can do it he can do it but it is going to require him getting in that cage and getting in that chamber and touching the steel because I also can't do that.

9:22No, you can't. I will. I will also say, and we're going to talk to you guys today a lot. It's seven, seven, three, four, four, four, eight, nine, three. Do you agree with SGG's assessment that this is going to be a massive chamber match? And if so, I want you to tell me like, what is when, when I start, when me, big E and Joe Tessitore start the post show tomorrow, what are we going to be going? Oh my God. about you know is it going to be something off of the punk balor match something off the men's match the women's match uh aj and becky what is it going to be and also while we're spending some time pontificating and and imagining what javon evans can do i really think we wouldn't we should not sleep on what tiffany stratton could do in the women's match tiffany is kind of becoming the one who is down to try some things, I think, on the women's side.

10:18And I'm interested to see. Go ahead. I have her as the winner. I'm predicting Tiffany Stratton wins. We got a rematch. We get Jade Tiff rematch. That's not a WrestleMania match. That is not a WrestleMania match. I'm sorry. Love Tiffany Stratton. Jade Cargill, Tiffany Stratton is not a WrestleMania match. It's a match. It was a SummerSlam match for the title. It's not a WrestleMania match so so so tell us well tell me then what is in there that's a wrestlemania match who's not the former champion if not the former champion who lost the title to the current champion i want to know what is what which ones are the mania matches a fresh a fresh challenger right is really in the chamber i believe she is of course she is yes ria ria jade that's a mania match well for sure yes that's a mania match oscar jade is not a mania match we've seen that also and i believe jade actually beat oscar she also she did in the queen of the ring alexa bliss and jade is a mania match see i think i think bliss i the reason i love the idea of bliss and jade is a it would be complete shock and i think the crowd would go insane that's my that's my sneaky pick if bliss did something fire and won chicago go out of their minds excited for bliss absolutely bliss is someone the crowd is always ready to like go crazy for again and that poster of of little miss bliss and jade cargill and that that's it sells and win or lose you have a built-in story with Alexa and Charlotte after that because could could a championship fraction a friendship or you know if Alexa loses does Charlotte just get so disappointed in her that their friendship changes and they get a story out of that that's a mania match bliss and Jade but Tiffany and Jade is not I mean Raquel I'm sorry it's not Raquel and Jade is not a mania match and then kiana you know she's in there i think to show out me but it's not a mania match kiana's kiana james is gonna have her moments um tomorrow that i think that people like i'm on board with kiana james i i think there's something there i i think in ring i think in ring she's very clean she can talk she's uh you know charismatic jumps off the screen good looking girl she's got all the things.

12:55I want her to have a moment or two tomorrow that you come away just talking about her more. I don't think the character, like the version that she was, like the mouthpiece that she started out being versus where she's becoming now. She's evolving as a character in front of our eyes. I don't know where it will land, but I, Dip, you looked like you were unsure. I think Keanu James has all the tools to be something. You're not sensing tools? I would say out of all the new generation that they're, you know, that they're making a push for, I would say I feel like I'm connecting with her the least. I'm not it's not not necessarily her fault.

13:36I just don't know. I'm not sure, like what I'm grabbing onto there. But I I could see this chamber opportunity sort of making her in a real way if they give her the time to shine. And everyone will have their time to shine. I mean, they're putting her clearly in this match so that there's, you know, she's going to have her moment. And let's see if they can if they capitalize on it and sort of make her in this match. She's the one clearly in this match that you're like, we believe in her. We want her out there. You know, let's see what she can do. So let's you know, I'm just not I haven't been following her emotionally as much as I for me.

14:13I can't say I've been following her emotionally. I just more see her on screen. I think the first time you started seeing her have matches, you kind of like literally, especially because you weren't used to on the main roster, seeing her wrestle. So the first feeling I had was like, who's that? Oh, that's Keanu James. You immediately take notice of her. And then when you watch her work, I'm like, oh, she's pretty good. So I think you're right, though. They're putting her in a position to have, if you're in this match, you're getting spots. You're having moments where you're getting all the attention.

14:44So obviously, you know, Trick Williams and Javon are going to have that on the men's side. I wonder, too, like, I think there's a world in which Javon Evans entrance in Chicago. I'm not saying it's going to beat Punk or AJ, but it's going to be in the conversation. They are going to Javon and Javon. I'm sorry. Did I say Javon? Trick Williams. Yeah, I was going to say you've got to be talking about. I meant trick. If I don't know if I said Javon tricks entrance. is going to be in the conversation for entrance of the night. I was, look, I was easily, I was skeptical. I've been skeptical and I see the way that people are.

15:27I mean, I love the coat. I'm jealous. I wish I had that coat. You're like, you're loving the coat. I'm loving the coat. I love the coat. The lemon pepper steppers. Yeah. Are you in on the boots or the lemon pepper steppers? Are you in or no? I love the, I like the lemon pepper steppers. Yeah. very much in fact that could be the flavor of something that i love you know i other than wings i i could like to see a lemon pepper bagel wait are you talking about once we get this cream cheese company going the trick williams collab the lemon pepper cream cheese that's exactly what i'm talking about honestly that you're you're so good at foreshadowing how i conversation in my head it's crazy the lemon the trick williams lemon pepper cream cheese bagel would be i would like to see from trick Williams besides the lemon pepper steppers and the jet and the coat and the beautiful coat and the whoop that trick and the whoop that trick what else is in that arsenal because all those things are aesthetically pleasing very but what do we get in the ring from trick Williams and I believe it I believe him I believe in it now I was not a believer in the beginning he's winning me over he's yeah I mean I love look I love when the fans react to someone new in this type of way.

16:39It makes me it's the reason we love wrestling. So I hope that he can capitalize on it as an in-ring performer as well. Very well said. I'm a little worried about all the hype in the beginning. I'm a little worried. It is an interesting thing when you're Ove like Rove in this way and everyone's going insane for you and yet you haven't yet had big in-ring moments on the main roster. It is sort of a weird reversal, right? It's the opposite sort of... You don't need much, but like Javon... You need one crazy move. It is the exact opposite of the Javon Evans situation. Javon Evans is all ring. Everyone is just in love with him because of what they've seen him do in the ring, and everything else, we talked about this, the entrance could get better, the character could evolve.

17:31There's all kinds of things Javon can do later, but he's got the hardest part like down you know if you if you add something if you improve the entrance and the presentation of Javon slightly we're talking maybe one of the greatest in-ring performers ever eventually you're saying someone generation I mean by in-ring I mean the total package I'm saying that's what I meant I didn't mean in ring we already know he's in ring the most insane but if you figure out I don't love the shaking of the I don't love that thing we know how you feel about the I don't love the thing I don't love that I didn't like it when Tom Atonga did it and I don't like it when Jermon Evans is doing it you want to leave the cameras is that a thing I should be doing is that something I should do is that the new cold or lit or whatever You shouldn't do it now.

18:33It's in now. You should do it 10 years from now. Yeah. It's not time. The time's up. You do it now. It's too early. I don't think it's not tough, but I think there's other ways of making him tough. All right. All right. We'll get into the toughness. We'll get to your phone calls. 877-344-4893. Also, something happened this week on WWE television. that was one of the greatest things of its kind in the history of the business. And I'll tell you what it was next right here on GP Live. Pro Wrestling Nation 24-7. Promotional consideration paid for by the following. Do you smell what The Rock is cooking?

Something happened this week in wrestling that's one of the best of all time. The AJ Styles retirement segment was one of the greatest retirement segments in the history of pro wrestling.

19:54You know why? You know why, guys? Because they actually, up until the taker part at the end, which was cool also, but up until that, the entire thing felt 100 % sincere. It felt like there was no work happening. It was like, no, we're really going to let you have the moment. And AJ was fantastic and authentic. the way it was shot was perfect the editing, the back and forth when the boys and girls came out on stage and the back and forth of seeing who's coming out then seeing his family everything they did just made it feel so authentic and I just wanted to give kudos and props to AJ and everyone at WWE who produced it because they let it breathe and I just think it's up there as one of the greatest of all time now do you guys know who was absolutely sickened by this entire thing?

20:55No. Bill Goldberg. Not me. Bill Goldberg.

21:03And Bill Goldberg and AJ Styles are the same in one way. They're more famous from another company, but they came to WWE. Of course, the difference is AJ Styles is one of the greatest in-ring wrestlers of all time. Bill Goldberg was a huge star. but this is what he wanted and AJ got it and Bill Goldberg didn't even string together one full year full-time in WWE yeah and stop it's ridiculous there's no comp in that regard at all great point I can't believe I'm saying this I mean it's a by the way it's a big argument is Goldberg a bigger star in wrestling than AJ Styles is in the annals in the annals of time he's a bigger star outside of wrestling than AJ Styles is he's not a bigger he's not a bigger star in wrestling than AJ Styles is.

21:48Okay. See what I'm saying? He's not as beloved as AJ Styles. AJ Styles is more beloved than Goldberg. No, I mean, no, but I totally agree. I got to tell you, I cried a little bit. You shed tears? I did. I cried. I cried a little.

22:08Which part made you cry? Just all of it? Just the whole thing? No, I cried at a certain point. I cried at a certain point. I think I cried when they all started walking out. But I guess, of course, I don't like that. In the old days, it would have been just the baby faces. But hold on. I love how they put the New Day all the way to the left, and stage left, or stage right. And they were kind of clapping. No, me too. But what other heels did you really see clearly? Yeah, I think it was. Besides that, they were the only ones. You're right. Maybe they were. They were the only ones. They mildly were clapping.

22:43and I think they had to do it because they were showing so many videos of the great moment of Woods and AJ crying together like they'd been showing that so many times that I think they were like we can't hide from it it's such a great moment but they sat there like and by the way let me tell you something whoever chose Creed higher as this song for the montage is a that it is a genius that song could go to anything you could have 10 old people waiting for a gate to open at Del Boca Vista. And if you played Creed higher in back of it, it would feel more profound than it ever needed to be. It was, it was.

23:18It would feel like the biggest moment in Del Boca Vista history if you played Creed higher. Now, there's a moment here in the incredible retirement that I need to play you. This is important. And SGG knows where I'm going, I'm sure. But I wanted to wait till the end. I didn't want to lead with this. But it is important. Zach, please play the clip that I wanted to have queued up from AJ. I didn't take off my gloves at the Royal Rumble. because I wanted to take them with me to the house and come here to Atlanta and be in this ring and leave my gloves at home. Now, I need to say this loud and proud.

24:06I was roasted after the Royal Rumble because I said AJ Styles was a man of his word. He is retiring. Just because he didn't put the gloves down in the ring in Saudi Arabia doesn't mean he's not retiring. He's retiring, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah. And that was all the information I gave. AJ, in the promo right before that part, said, I am a man of my word, and then took his jacket off and then explained to you, I wanted to leave my gloves here in Atlanta. and because the wrestling internet is what they are, and don't get me wrong, I love them. I love that everyone participates and watches the post show and analyzes and tears everything apart.

24:49I respect you for being so passionate. But instead of thinking that I'm a hack and I got here by being a complete idiot who doesn't know anything, maybe, maybe just maybe, that was me communicating to you that I knew where we were going and I'm not going to ruin it for everyone, but I knew he was retired because AJ said to me verbatim, we have a show in Atlanta at the end of February. I want to leave my gloves in the ring then. He said it to me. I'm not going to go on TV and then say that. That's his story to tell, but I try my best to walk a line where I can give you information without ruining things that superstars would not want ruined.

25:40And it paid off incredibly great. Now, I got two things to say. First, I just want to lead with, in defense of the IWC. Wow, not where I thought you'd go, SJJ. Is it possible they treat you this way because they know you didn't get in a new house? You know what? It's a great point. I'm a new house reject. Because it's out there. You're a beauty school dropout. It's possible they know. But the other thing is they still don't get it. He said this, he gave his speech, and now the chatter online is that WWE let him do that and they're putting him in the Hall of Fame to keep him from going to AEW. That's the new line is that AJ Styles is now a hostage, at least until he goes to the Hall of Fame.

26:30And then maybe after that, he will leave and go to AEW and we'll get Styles. He's tired. He is. He's been wanting to go home for two years. He just wants to go home. Yo, the man is rich. He's done it everywhere. He's done everything there is to do. At some point, you know, I think AJ really questioned if he'd ever make it to WWE. He not only goes there, but has literally a Hall of Fame 10-year run. Made millions of dollars. Why are you guys so sure? he's desperate to go to a place that while I love it and feel very entertained when I watch it, a lot of people go there, especially if they've been in the WWE system for a long time and they're like, this is different, this is weird, it's not my vibe, I'm not used to this.

27:21Like, yeah, if you really want to get a payday, they end up just biting the bullet. I don't think AJ is desperate for a payday. And I don't think he has anything to prove. you know is there a dream match waiting for him there yeah there are great matches we could get there but i think he sincerely wants to retire before he starts slipping and listen both things could be true wwe also could be smart and going hey let's throw him in the hall of fame right now so if he is thinking about it we it's not happening for a while sure of course that i i have no i i you would be stupid to not have that thought cross your mind but i don't know why you guys are so sure he's desperate to go somewhere else right now.

28:03He just got the best send-off like we've ever seen. I don't know that he's desperate to go do that. I think y 'all are desperate to see him do it. This is it. Michael Jackson's This Is It. It's over. I'm a big Michael Jackson's This Is It fan. Underrated movie, underrated song. What are your T's? Agreed. That's why I referenced in relation to AJ Styles. Incredible wrestling career. I would like us, Zach, to come back from the next break with Michael Jackson's This Is It. A lot of people out there don't know that that was a great Michael Jackson song that popped up. Fantastic. Great reference. Everyone is expecting the obvious thing here would be for Cody Rhodes to win the chamber, correct?

28:43Yes. Can you picture a world and would it be Mage if LA Knight were to win the chamber and get the title match at WrestleMania and it be part of Cody Rhodes having this loss and sort of beginning his, I need to reassess what's going on with my life, wherever that takes him. And LA Knight, if he's ever going to get the big moment, gets it at this WrestleMania. What are your T's? I can't see it. I can't even fathom the idea of that happening. I can't even hear it in my mind. Do you think, just for a second, do you think that if LA Knight were to win the chamber, it would have a similar effect to what I said with Bliss and the crowd would go insane to see LA net actually win?

29:32Not to repeat myself, but that's exactly what I said. I think like it's going to be huge for him. If he can do that, he's, he's like her. He's one win away from just being huge and him winning the chamber, going on to face drew in a championship match at WrestleMania. So he can call himself the main event and they can have that promo battle. Cause those are two guys too, who we focus a lot on the end ring, but two guys that you just want to hand the mic to and say go sell this match sell this moment whatever are drew and la night so if he they have some promo battles leading up to this match i wouldn't hate that either if tell me tell me tell me wrestlemania is not better if la night goes one-on-one with drew mcintyre and cody rhodes responds to the brock lesnar challenge and it's Cody versus Brock.

30:22Why is that not... That's not better? We just said earlier also, Obafemi needs to be the one. Yeah, we fell in love with Obafemi idea. And I have to... I've been in love with that. As much as Cody and Brock is a mage match, we've seen it. We've seen it done. We've seen it many times. Every kind of way. Many times? I don't know if... It's been three. Yeah. And I don't know if the championship... It's three already? Yeah, they did a trilogy. They had a trilogy. I forgot it was a trilogy already. the man's had a lot of trilogies I don't know what this past 10 minutes has done to the show me and dip was not even finishing each other's sentences we're saying the same thing I could use it uh that's you know but I just think I I think you guys are underselling the fact that like everyone expects Cody drew and I think Cody to fine remove the Brock out of it I'm throwing that out there Cody ending up somewhere else and LA Knight ending up in the the title match I think would be really exciting for wrestling fans.

31:21I do. There's somewhere else that's right under your nose that I think you're missing is you're not looking at the other names in the chamber, right? You're like, oh, what's happening outside of the chamber that we can slot Cody into? But this chamber is going to set up the rivalries, right? Seth and Punk, their rivalry, it continued in the chamber, but that stomp that gave Cena the win was huge for that rivalry. so you just gotta look at the other pods and you see that Randy Orton is in one of those pods and if Cody loses what's the match that is huge for Wrestlemania Cody Randy is a poster it is everything it's all you need you don't need a title it's awesome I agree and and he's right there in the chamber you don't have to look that far to figure out what else to do with Cody if you don't send him back to Drew listen I think it's very unlikely that it happens but I'm sorry People like Dip have been waiting for LA night to fall off now for five years.

32:19It's never happened. People still love the guy. He's and you're running out of time. He's 42 years old, right? He still looks like a million bucks. He can still do all of his stuff. If you want to give him a big shot, if he's ever going to get it, the shock and awe of him coming out of that chamber would be. I let it happen. Great. I got no problem with it. If something that surprising happens, it doesn't matter what it is. I'm excited about it, to be honest. So if that ends up being what happens, wow. Like, you know, amazing. And God bless. I'm not holding my breath. He has the box. He's 42. What if the box takes out Jey Lusso and then goes on to win the chamber?

33:00I don't have high expectations for the box. It feels like, is it me or does it feel like as time has gone on, it's been like less of a thing. The box cannot be worse than the egg. That's what's giving me hope about the quality of what's in the box. Honestly, what is in this freaking box? What is in this box? No clue. That's what I'm saying. It's hard to picture. It's not Chris Jericho. This focaccia thing has been sitting around forever.

33:42also I gotta just say macaroni salad you want macaroni salad that's been sitting around forever I think it's probably well refrigerated it's a refrigerator with the macaroni salad I gotta tell you I'm also like I'm so sick of the fact that Pierce and Aldis are becoming like bigger characters which is great but they're not being given more room to be characters it's just like when they're involved they're just like loud and disciplinarian but like it's like literally like they're just principles and and here's the the logic i think the logic is we want it to feel like more like sports and in sports you know the commissioners they're pretty straight-laced but i got news for you i'm not watching sports i'm watching wrestling and i want characters i don't want pierce and aldis who are both good performers who can both bump they can all do the things they're wrestlers why have we made them just authority figures that get loud on occasion and you're not gonna do that we're gonna play by the rules because that's what we do why what are we doing yeah one of them should have punched somebody in the face a long time ago and not like this accidental what's going on with the vision and like oh you put your hands on me no they He should have punched somebody in the mouth a long time ago.

35:11Several nominees for people who need to get punched in the mouth by Pearson Aldis. I find it very frustrating because they're playing bigger roles than ever, but they still don't allow them to sort of become anything. And so far. Go ahead. No, no. I was going to say, like, do you think that it is an item or that it plays into one of the storylines? Or is it just, you know? you mean the box is it like is it what you mean the box yes sgg was that one of those moments when i go on and talk for three full minutes dip has checked out and then just returns and as if i didn't say any words just continues the conversation as if i never added another word to the conversation i think i think somebody texted dip about macaroni salad and so it was still on his mind when he's like, so what's inside it?

36:05As if the last... I've thought about that it might be an item that plays into something. Because it's not going to be a wrestler. It's not 1993, and it doesn't make sense for it to be a wrestler. You can't believe that someone's been sitting inside the box. That's not the area we live in. If it is an item that plays into something, then I was right. It won't be worse than the egg. And this time I'm not talking about the gobbledygook. I'm talking about Vince's egg that they gave him at, I believe, that Survivor Series one year when everybody was talking about it. I thought you were talking about the gobbledygook.

36:44I was earlier, but now I'm saying if it's an item, it'll still be better than the egg because it'll be better than that time that they just showed up and gave Vince a golden egg for some reason that we still don't know. The egg was crazy, dude. I forgot about the egg. So there is a precedent here for it to be nothing. In fact, the only precedents that exist are that it's nothing. Yeah, unfortunately. But at least it won't be an egg, maybe. It could also be an egg, though, because that is the precedent. If they do another egg, if it's gobbledygooker or an egg, Why does it all – it only has to do with chickens and eggs?

37:32Like what are we doing here, folks? I don't know. But now that I'm actually thinking about this and thinking about what they have done and thinking about my anticipation leading up to those moments, you guys are right. It probably is. I'm hoping now for Max Salad in the box. Yeah, you should. I mean it's not going to be Dan Housen. It's not going to be Jericho. It's more likely – yeah, they've said – people have speculated Dan Housen. like he's dead like he's kind of undead so maybe it could be dan housing oh now we're having a conversation it's not gonna be dan yeah i can't give me the egg it's more likely if i'm betting i'm betting on egg um also something awesome happened on aw television this past week i don't know if either of you guys saw it but saturday night something awesome happened on aw we'll hit that as well as final chamber predictions and your calls 877-344-4893 cheap heat live pro wrestling nation 24 7 promotional consideration paid for by the following get these world wrestling federation home videos now experience the best of raw volume one for the best the WWF has to offer then come get some the women of the WWF know your role with the rock and hell yeah the new stone cold Steve Austin home video These four videos are available now at video stores everywhere.

38:59WWF Home Video. Get it. Yo, guys. Welcome back. We were just having a conversation between the segments here about that. I was saying how I liked when Liv hit Stephanie with the mic punch to the head. I loved how Stephanie bumped. How she took it and fell straight back. I was into that. And then Dip brought up the... the Julia stomp to Rhea Ripley's face, which that scared me in real time, or the back of her head, whatever the hell it was. No, it was her face, front of her face. No, she stepped, she kicked the back of her head. No, she kicked the back of her head. She kicked the back of her head and then her face went right into the mat.

39:41I do not, I, I got to ask, I got to ask Rhea about that this weekend. That was crazy. I could not believe, and Emilio texted us in the group and he made a good point, like that should be the end of the match. if you do something that hard to someone you should be like well that was crazy let me just roll you over and pin you now because that was absolute madness if you do not see a brutal brutal yeah but the Stephanie bump was great it was it made that segment impactful now do you care now dip about Liv and Stephanie at Mania is there something there there's not nothing there. I think they should put the title on Liv.

40:27I think they have to be, right? I don't know. I think so, though. I think so. I think Stephanie is better chasing it than having it. But I don't know. It could be a good match, honestly. I know I'm reversing course and all this stuff, but the more that I think about it, it could be good. It's not bad. What is going on with you? I will say I would like to see Liv beat Stephanie but I think it makes more sense for the judgment day to not have as much gold floating around the clubhouse and then start to point the fingers at each other and we get this implosion going like can we get the breakup I know we still have never gotten the breakup no people got kicked out but we need just we need the breakup well do you guys care about when like when the the dirt sheets post like the vagate the offshore odds on these events no no yeah i can could not care less really why don't you care well i don't gamble anyway so like i feel like that's what that's like the little because you know people can't really gamble on it anyway but i never it just it just taps into giving you insight to where like if these places get information it's almost a spoiler like if you look at the odds the odds as they are right now are just everything would be exactly what you think is the most likely thing what do you think is the most likely men's what's the most likely men's result Cody minus 400 what do you think is the most likely women's result Alexa what are you crazy Tiffany is it Rhea Is it Rhea?

42:19Do they have Rhea? Yes, it's Rhea. Of course it's Rhea. It's Rhea. But, however, so that shows what makes it interesting, right? Rhea's minus 150 on this thing that I'm looking at. This is just some dirt sheet thing. Rhea's minus 150. Tiffany's plus 110. So a pretty bad bet. So a narrow underdog. And then Bliss is third at plus 550, though. A big drop off. Yeah. So just based on these two winners right here, what it feels like is when your homie fills out his bracket, but he doesn't really follow. So they're just like, oh, I like this team's logo. Go with them. This team looks popular. Go with them.

42:59And their final four is just all one seats. It's like, come on. That's what these biggest guys look like. It doesn't usually look like. CM Punk, this is funny. CM Punk is minus 5 ,000. Of course. So they agree with my assessment.

43:17no that punk is uh minus 5 000 over finn oh over finn yeah dip it this weekend is elimination chamber no i know it's confusing you've got cream cheese on the mine there are gates there's so many things happening um i'm just thinking will like what kind of macro what kind of pasta will be in the salad in the box is it they don't have it they don't have it is it going to be they don't have a macaroni salad just regular macaronis or do you think it could be you know both eyes yeah and they have AJ Lee is a somewhat sizable favorite against Becky but the thing is these that's the thing about the chamber there's no I cannot imagine a world in which everything that happens is as we say in the wrestling business just complete chalk like it's just everything is what we expect that's not how the chamber usually works something is going to happen here that is not what you expect and it's not what's in the box um but i gotta say too the point the point about punk and roman and the posters and the match being made finn winning highly unlikely i still think it's not gonna happen but if it does that would be super out of left field because finn wasn't even in the commercials that they started airing last year everybody else in the commercial has a big mania thing that they're pointing towards finn wasn't even in the commercial and if he does somehow find his way to the main event of wrestlemania it will be crazy because drew i don't think was in the commercials either he is the champion so he's going it's a good point i'd like to see jovon evans parkour from one cell to this to each to this to each cell he's going to jump from one to the other and then jump through the top okay and then and then and then clear jump off the top of the cell clear half the cell and fall onto a table the announcer's table no i i want him to do what you said but then keep going and somehow jump out of the thing and then it's almost like a video game he just bounces like six times and he's gone from the arena we don't know where he where he goes he's just glitches right out of the arena which that's that's that's how you know how dumb those odds are though they had jay uso as having better odds than javon evans jay uso wasn't supposed to be in the match yeah based on what i saw on tv he was not supposed like i don't know anything but we all know bronson reed got hurt in that match and we know the vision had to have a presence in that match javon was in already he has to have higher odds now i gotta say hold on go ahead not to cut off pete dip we've been thinking about what athleticism and like what athletic feats that and the bouncy things that people are going to do in the chamber that we haven't seen but the chamber is also set up for feats of strength like we've never seen before right like i think about brock bursting out the chamber before he destroyed everybody otis running and crashing through the chamber what feats of strength do you think we're going to get from the chamber and who's it going to be and my sneaky picks are ria and kiana james in the women's match are going to show some feats of strength like we haven't seen before i think obafemi interferes in the match and lifts the entire chamber and throws it into the crowd like a bird cage like a lid of a like a like a lid of a pan just uh your your last chance to get in with your predictions for the chamber is right now 877-344-4893 i also teased something awesome at aew um did you guys watch do you guys see the highlights from collision of what happened with FTR and the Bucks?

47:12No. No, I didn't see that, actually. Now, naturally, my DVR cuts it off because it always cuts off collision. I have to record the next show. My DVR is cutting off SmackDown. Oh, yeah. Do you think there's another hour of SmackDown? It doesn't know. It's so annoying. Mine cut off the entire AJ segment. Literally. No, AJ was Netflix, dude. And what was the end of SmackDown? The whole last segment of SmackDown. The whole last segment last Friday. Yeah, no. Whole segments are getting missed. So if you did. Yeah, cut off the Aleister Blackman. If you guys didn't see the collision, FTR ended up attacking the Young Bucks family.

47:54You didn't see the attack on the schlub brother? No. No, I got it. This is a hired buck. I got to go watch it. I got to watch it. I'm putting it. There's a schlub. There's a schlub. There's a schlub buck. I just put it in our Zoom chat right there. I just put it in our Zoom chat, and it's freaking awesome, dude. And the Bucs run out to try to save them, and Ricochet hits them with this insane clothesline. It's, dude, they hit them with the whatchamacallit, the mindbreaker, the spike pile driver. No, they hit the schlub brother with the spike pile driver. And by the way, when I say he's a schlub, picture a real-life regular Arn Anderson.

48:37no muscle underneath it, no tough guy, just a bald, larger man who wears sweatsuits. That is who was beat up. It was a lot of fun. It was very old. Family members get beat up. I love it. I love that. I love when family members get beat up. It's true. You know, salt my only joke. But I know, but it's not only because only looked more like tough guy to me. Arn, if he wasn't a wrestler, looked like someone's dad. Ole looked like he would kill you no matter what business he was in. You know what I'm saying? 100%. Let's get to the phones. We got Dino in Pittsburgh with What's in the Box. What could it be?

49:23It's freaking me out. I get all these calls that say What's in the Box, and that's a Miss Rachel song. So What's in the Box is on my mind all the time. You're bringing back core memories from my three-year-old daughter. She loves Miss Rachel. Oh, you know, Miss Rachel's what's in the box. What could it be? By the way, maybe Miss Rachel's in the box. Maybe. Oh, God. Miss Rachel's in the box. How are you guys doing today? Triple threat. They say what's in the box, and Miss Rachel jumps out of the box. Where would you go, then? Would you go, and I'm sorry, we'll be right with you. Would you go AJ?

49:55Oh, you're good. AJ, Becky, Miss Rachel, triple threat? Or do we go Miss Rachel versus Miss Raquel at WrestleMania? Rachel versus Raquel is a situation. All right, Dino, what's in the box, dude? What could it be? Yeah, so I don't know how realistic this is, but there's a lot of rumors floating around online that it could potentially be Dan Housen, which I would absolutely love to see. And maybe if that would happen. Yeah, exactly. His merch is still up on their website, so I don't think he's been releasing it. But it would be crazy to see him actually come in and WWE utilize him on weekly TV because the biggest ball that was dropped by Tony Khan was not keeping that man on his television every single day from the moment he was signed.

50:42Number one, merch seller and everything else, the WWE universe would embrace him. Obviously, some people wouldn't like the gimmick because it's not serious enough, but if he embraced his darker side, they could make magic with Dan Housen, and I would love to see it happen. But do you guys think there's any chance it could be, and would you love it if it was him or hate it? Yes, I would love it. I would pop. I would pop. It would be a lot of fun. I mean, and thanks for the call, Dino. Appreciate you, buddy. Absolutely. I don't – listen, Dan Housen would be a fun character to just have fun with.

51:19He's a mystical, fun sort of kids, you know, beloved character you have a good time with. You know, Dip, of course, would book him into the main event. He'd say he should replace Punk versus Roman Reigns at WrestleMania. but I think for normal fans, I think for normal fans, it would be, well, here's the thing, SGG, if you're going to do something funny and goofy, right, if it was like Dan Housen hanging upside down like a bat inside the box, right? That's what it is. It would immediately lead to something fun and funny. It's a better payoff than we've ever seen in the box before. Am I right? Yeah, no, especially now thinking about the other things they've done with the box, it absolutely would be a better payoff than they've ever done before.

52:04But in terms of him being on weekly TV, I think if it is Dan Housen and they did sign him, I think he's AAA bound because I feel like that reminds me of a Mr. Iguana type character and it feels like it would work very well in Mexico. By the way, if it was Mr. Iguana, I'd be just as happy. Or Psycho Clown. Or any of these people. Or Psychosis. Psycho. I would love Psychosis. Maybe it's LaBanca. You know what? SG just made a great point, though. Dan Housen on the AAA stuff. Dan Housen. Now, this is why it wouldn't make sense to be here. Because doesn't Dan Housen get Ove like Rove in a mix of NXT and AAA?

52:42Isn't that the way you use Dan Housen to start out? Yeah. By the way, shout out to the boys.

52:51Brad Baylor and Ricky Smokes, my guys. Swipe right the new NXT Tag Team Champions. Crazy. They are so good, man. I'm so in on Swipe Right. They're awesome. They're not Swipe Right anymore. They're the VP now, dude. I don't know. I have mixed feelings on that, but here we are. V's up for sure, dude.
