Raw Recap - LA Knight prepares for Gunther | The Judgment Day are BACK: Raw Recap, Dec. 1, 2025

29:25There was a little bit of a distraction. Something happened. So I was a little bit hot on him at the end. So it wasn't like I was going to go up to him and give him a big hug. And, hey, man, that was great. So for me, it was a little bit of, hey, man, you almost cost me that whole damn thing. And you got to watch yourself. And like, because, look, he's been around a long time. I hadn't. So you could also say, well, maybe you should just kind of maybe walk on eggshells in that sense. No, no, we don't do that. as far as I'm concerned, it was, Hey, I need to make my footprint here. And if I'm going to do that with no disrespect, again, respecting everything that he's done and understand that, but at the same time, I'm a man.

30:01And if you're going to take potentially food off my plate, we got to talk about that. So yes, I was definitely a little bit, um, perturbed for the moment, but eventually we got to the handshake and we were good. I mean when you look at a potential Saturday night's main event do you think about that night and what it means for John Cena or is that a complete afterthought because you are LA Knight and the way you operate is in is in the world that is known as LA Knight it's um it's tough to get that far ahead um yeah and it's especially tough to get that far ahead for somebody else And I don't mean that in, you know, I don't see anybody else.

30:41I very much have an eye on other things that are going on and what other people are doing and try and put myself in other people's, you know, in other people's shoes as much as I can in certain situations. But it's tough for me not to look at day by day because, you know, with everything that we talked about earlier, where it's like, it always feels like somebody is trying to tug on the cape. It always feels like somebody is trying to stack the deck. And with that being the case, it's kind of tough to look too far ahead because it's tough to really make plans because you almost have to just be always in the damn moment and present is there any part of you that when you're in a match with a guy like jay usso and you know you look at that referee and you know that third hand is coming down you're about to win this match is there any part of you that wonders are they going to still cheer for me i beat one of their favorites are they still going to cheer for me or does that not come into your head at all?

31:31No, that never came into my head actually. But you know, I definitely have thought about that in the sense of like, man, are we kind of splitting the audience? Like, are we, are we making the people choose? But I don't know. I'll be honest while we were out there, it felt like the people weren't necessarily choosing so much as just in kind of enjoying every moment. And I don't think we were out there. Jay and I don't have like necessarily a, an overtly personal issue. And I definitely were competitors and we both wanted to win the match. but I don't think it was like a blood feud or anything so I think in a way they were able to enjoy it in the sense that nobody was out to physically injure the other person beyond hey I want to get a three count and go on so I think that made it easy for the people to enjoy now if one of us would have gone out there and tried to hurt the other one then maybe we've got something to talk about but no you know the only time I think about that is when I let the people down when I lose when the three is getting counted against me you know, you start to think like, okay, at what point will the people maybe start to lose faith and just go, ah, man, damn it.

32:35You know, we like this guy. We want this to happen, but it's just not going to happen. And so in that case, I think about that certainly. But at the same time, you gotta, I really get on myself to not think about that and try and focus on not thinking about missing the shot, but always thinking about how I'm going to make the shot. yeah it's really interesting hearing you phrase it that way because it sounds like that's what fuels you you the the idea is that if if you don't have consistent pure blind 100 faith in yourself that you run the risk of the audience losing faith in you and therefore at no point if i didn't have that i wouldn't be sitting here having this interview with you right now that's right my My entire career is predicated on blind, damn near idiotic faith.

33:23You know, I mean, just just believing that, hey, I've got something here and I got to keep pushing because at plenty of times I've been at places where most people probably would have quit and probably would have been smart to quit in certain ways. But in all honesty, it's paid off in such amazing ways that I can't even describe to where the best thing that I did was blindly believing myself like that. And so, yeah, I think that that's really all I can do. And whether the people come along with me or at some point they just go, you know, it's not going to happen. Doesn't matter. I can't focus myself on that.

34:02I appreciate every single bit of what they give me. I feed off of that stuff. As a matter of fact, I wouldn't be in the position I am without them. If I'm honest, especially everything that happened with that, with how everything just blew up a couple of years ago and now it's continued on. People made me. I can't take that away from. And I thank him to the hill at the same time. Let's say at some point, if they're not with me, I can't worry about that. I got to do me. I got to keep doing me. I mean I think there's something very uh almost old school about the idea that there is still a professional wrestler that really is in the business for themselves and I mean that in a completely positive sense that like people have always said that the wrestling business is a selfish business and and and if you want to be the star that you want to be that's got to be how you live.

34:55Well, you know, and it's, but, but there's, there's different ways that you go about that. And there's different ways that that happens. And there are certain ways that I don't participate in that. Again, there are certain people who will undercut other people, very cutthroat business, that kind of stuff. That's not the kind of stuff that I do. What I mean is a simple fact that this business, if I'm honest, if it gets the chance, it will chew you up and it will spit you out. Let's be honest. And for me, it's how do I get ahead of that? How do I chew up the business, spit it out or squeeze it for every bit of juice that I can get out of it.

35:25And that doesn't mean taking advantage of anybody that I'm with or anything like that or nothing like that. And at the same time, you still got to look at stuff, you know, even take it back. The one time when I said the thing about the crying and whatnot, I still want to, it is a selfish business and I'm in it for money. I'm in it to win championships. I'm in it to be the best. But at the same time, if I can leave a good mark on this thing, I'm not opposed to it. But at the same time, I'm just not the type of guy where I'm like, oh, it was my childhood dream to do this, that, whatever. Now, look, was there a little bit of me that was just like, oh, my God, that'd be cool?

36:00Yeah. But I didn't grow up as a kid saying, oh, I'm going to be a wrestler. This wasn't a thing that happened to me until I was an adult. And I was like, oh, that's an actual job you can go do? Oh, OK, yeah, I'm going to go do that. So for me, it's just kind of different in that sense. And, you know, stupid me, because I mean, there's different ways to get in this business. But the way I got in, it took me a long time and it was a long, hard fight and climb to the top. And but finally, I'm here. And at this point, I'm rambling. I'm probably boring everybody to death. But but yeah, it's a selfish business.

36:33And because of that, you have to take selfish moments. And again, but I say that in a way where, again, it's not a matter of taking advantage of the people around you. it's not a matter of you know cutting other people's legs or throats or whatever you want to you know call it to where you're gonna do that kind of stuff I ain't in all that but what I'm saying is I'm here to make sure that me and the people around me are taken care of and I do this better than anybody in the world so with that being the case let's get this done that's what I wanted to hear that's what I was getting it and I've got to tell you as you were explaining how you got in the business and everything it just clicked something in that could take this conversation into another hour so i'm not gonna go any further with it i think i'm the whole show at this point yeah yeah yeah i'm gonna let you go we appreciate you uh yeah spending some time with us you can get dressed now uh some of my trunks over here congrats on the win uh excited to see you in the next round i'm excited too and by the way and you just stood up in your trunks and i just wanted to say i don't know if anybody has said this about you and i keep meaning to say it to you and I always forget but everybody talks about the sneaker influence in the world of professional wrestling and I don't think that there is anybody that is more sneaker influenced in the world of professional wrestling without wearing sneakers than LA Knight I I recognize the Jordan 3 cement on the side of the trunks I recommend the 11 inspired boot I I mean I recognize the 11 inspired boots the 12 inspired boots I see them all I see them all well so for For me, so again, we're talking about how I got in the business, old school, this, that.

38:10I was always, you wear boots when you're a wrestler. So let me have the boots. And probably, man, it had to have been 2014, that far back, where I'd started in a notebook drawing what I wanted. I want this, this, this. It was so hard to find a bootmaker that could do it until finally, I think it was about 2016, I found some guy in Mexico. And so now I get them custom made. Every few months, I'll get a pair sent up to me. I'll draw them up, something. Here's what I want. Here's what I want. Here's the measurements. Da-da-da. And off we go. We got some custom LA Knight 12s here. That's sick. I love it.

38:42That's absolutely awesome. LA Knight, congratulations on tonight. Thank you. We always appreciate you, dude. Hopefully, you'll be telling me congratulations next week, and then congratulations at Saturday Night's Main Event. That's right. We'll see what happens, but Unstoppable Force, I think you said right, and you were talking about me. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Thank you, man. Thank you. I mean, big thanks to LA Knight. Yeah, that was great. And we did that interview, like I said, immediately after his match. We'd see him later in the night when he confronted Gunther after Gunther beat Solo Sokoa in another John Cena last time is now a tournament match, which we'll talk about momentarily.

39:19I also want to talk about Jey Uso post LA Knight match because I don't know that we'd seen the full Jey Uso crash out in effect when we talked to to LA Knight before it all happened. But I will say, I feel like your question made a big impact on him, because if you look at his Twitter account right after the interview on his way out to see Gunther, he was citing your question. Yeah, he did not like that Gunther was called the unstoppable force. And to the point where it felt like he was going out to confront Gunther. Why? Because scandalous Megan Morant asked the question. You got in his head and he was like, you know what?

39:56It's not enough that I talked to Sam and Megan about this. I got to go talk to Gunther about this face-to-face. Tonight, I was his, and I took that personally moment. That's right. That's right. That was me. This was, I mean, you were his muse. And I mean, the fact that he looked right in Gunther's face, no fear whatsoever. I loved that conversation, by the way, with LA Knight. I feel like we got to the bottom of a lot. He really is just one of these like old school wrestling stars. Yes. And I can't wait to see this Gunther versus LA Knight match. And I want to talk to you about it. and I want to talk to you about Gunther and about Jey Uso, but I also want to talk to you about Raycon.

40:34These are Raycons right here. This message, sponsored by Raycon. If you're looking for a holiday gift, I've been using Raycon's essential open earbuds, and honestly, they're so good.

42:19You will know when you're a celebrity, when you've made it. When Raycon says. It'll dry right up. so so you know not only did we see this confrontation between la night and gunther uh but once again i mean jay usso is back to dealing you know with what i would medically call a gentle mental where that i mean that that might i feel like the kids would call it crashing out he crashed out hard yeah he dumped the whole hydration station i feel like there's been times in the past where we thought jay might be crashing out right no we saw this we're looking at a picture right now on crash out i mean look at his face that's a crash out face if i've ever seen one in my life i mean and there's there's there's prime all over the place it didn't seem like it was the fact that he lost to la night it was more so how he lost to la night the crucifix roll-up that's right yeah well and then it was just one simple mistake again and he lost but i mean i just can't like how do you go 48 hours ago you were sitting on top of a war games cage yeeting with 45 000 people yeah and two days later you're crashing out dumping over a hydration station all over the steel stairs people are thirsty and now they can't enjoy it they can't be hydrated and about 15 minutes before this crash out he was yeeting in the crowd with the kids he was yeeting in the crowd with the kids he had the yeet glasses on he had the green and the bright colors and everything and then this goes down i mean you know it's really really interesting jay uso like he has this thing where he gets kind of his mind lined up like for a while it was like he didn't even want to it didn't even seem like he wanted to see his brother jimmy and then all of a sudden he and jimmy are completely on the same page we have the old usos back and then and and And it seemed like that up until the referee counted three and LA Knight got his hand raised.

44:19And then not only do we see this crash out at ringside, but then on the way out of the building, he's at first not responding to Jackie Redmond, which is a sin in WWE world. And then when he finally does, I mean, it was kind of, I mean, it was strange. It was not, it was very unexpected for Jay to once again be talking about the voices that are talking to him. You know what I mean? All the voices in his ears. Everybody who's in his head. His cousin. Right. His brother. But I thought that had kind of chilled out. I thought so too. I thought Jay had figured that out. He had sorted out who he was.

44:56He had stopped taking everything so personally and thought, you know, I'm Jay Uso and I won a World Heavyweight Championship as the single star that I became by myself. This is what worked. This is who I'm going to be. But now we have the questions again of will that work, right? You know what it makes me want to do? It makes me want to go find Jey Uso and pull up the video of our conversation with Scar, with Charlotte Flair on the Survivor Series recap podcast. When she talks about, you know what? You don't have to be perfect. You just go out there and be you. Everybody loves Jey Uso. Yeah. I can't believe that we're stuck in this place again.

45:36And then on his way out, he said, Roman was right. First of all, like Roman's back in the head, Roman's back in the head. and Roman's like, bro, like this isn't, I'm not doing this. He said, Roman was right. The championship does look better on his shoulders, not mine. And you're like, come on, dude. What are you saying? Everybody wants Jey Uso to succeed. And by the way, like when you look at this calendar year, we were talking about the first raw of 2026. Around this time of year is when you start kind of looking over 2025 and what the whole thing was. you're talking about a guy who won the Royal Rumble last eliminating John Cena.

46:16You're talking about a guy who won the World Heavyweight Championship at WrestleMania. You're talking about a guy who got the pinfall victory in a tag match with Roman Reigns at SummerSlam. You're talking about a guy who had 45 ,000 people yeeting alongside of him in a War Games match in San Diego. Like, how can you have this year that Jey Uso has had and still be throwing tantrums when you lose a match i mean you look back on the year that jay usos had and it's completely his career has completely transformed from where he was 365 days ago last december 100 to this december he's a completely different superstar but for some reason we're watching jay in real time figure out if he can stay at the top now that he's gotten there but we all believe it yes but jay doesn't quite believe it fully.

47:11It's like the opposite of LA Knight, the conversation that we just had about LA Knight going, no, it has to be blind, what did he say, idiotic faith at times in myself? Yeah. And we saw Jay have his doubts on the way to WrestleMania, but he overcame that. He's overcome it all. Every time he has his doubts, he overcomes it, right? He wins the Royal Rumble, he has his doubts on the way to WrestleMania, he overcomes and he wins. Then he loses it, he has his doubts about whether or not he still belongs in that title picture, that main event scene, he overcomes it, and he proves to everybody yes he's a changed performer he belongs in the main event discussion and still like you don't win the cena tournament and you go crazy there's 15 guys that aren't going to win the tournament i know one will win there's 15 people that won't win how you think zach rider feels he was out round one sucks he's not tipping over hydration stations woo woo woo you know what i mean woo woo woo so it was tough to see and then i'll tell you you talk about you talk about the the the bloodline in that family you talk about jay us to talk about jay us's younger brother solo sokoa and i think that even though solo sokoa did not win tonight and gunther beat him and gunther is just a pro's pro gunther takes advantage of every situation that he's in i would call him an unstoppable force but i don't want to get la night upset again and you will he doesn't like it when you say that don't say that about him not Gunther but there was all this interference Talatanga making his presence known over and over and over again and by the way more power to him that's why he's at ringside I don't know it doesn't bother me but ultimately a distraction almost led to a double team that I think would have ended the match.

48:57Referee sees it happening. It backfires on solo. Referee's distracted. Gunther shrugs his shoulders, decides to go for the low blow. And you know what? That's a Gunther thing to do. Whether it's right, whether it's wrong, I am here to win these matches. This guy has used Tala Tonga the whole time. He's cheated the whole time. So guess what? That's how we're going to play. That's how we're going to play. Low blow, powerbomb, pin. But the amount of time, you go back and watch this match watch how long how much time in this match was spent with solo sokoa on the offense it was remarkable against somebody like gunther i think that this tournament combined with the survivor series five on five that happened on smackdown on friday i hope is opening people's eyes and reminding them of what a threat physically solo sokoa is solo sokoa is probably one of the most underrated superstars on the roster.

49:52He's only been doing this for, what, five years? He's been in WWE? WWE, yeah. And he and Gunter put on an amazing match tonight. Incredible. So Alex Koeh, I feel like in the last three or four weeks, has elevated. I think that's 100 % right. I think it's right. But we are left with Gunther and LA Knight, one-on-one. And I'll tell you, after talking to LA Knight tonight, there's no way. I mean, I want to run through a wall for that guy. I do, too. And you know what that makes me think? Gunther's going to disappoint us. Because Gunther is the reality. I feel so good about LA Knight winning this thing.

50:30He said everything he said. I was like, right on, dude. Well, and you brought up 2023 and John Cena and LA Knight. And I said, oh, wow. Yeah, this goes deep. Wow, I would love to see that. Oh, you would love to see that? Cool. I don't care. I'm Gunther. I know. Well, listen. Less fun, Gunther. Not that the Gunther before was fun. But this is even less fun. It's somehow less fun. Yeah. Not here for the fun. You know what is fun? All these collabs going on on WWE Shop right now. I don't know if you saw this, but John Geiger and WWE have teamed up for a brand new collab. Rey Mysterio is wearing it tonight with the three masks across the front.

51:04This collection is blending vintage energy, layered logo placements, and bold nostalgia into one disruptive collection. It's got the DX. It's got the NWO, those three Brahma Bulls. Bulls. That Brahma Bull shirt is an absolute classic. You can get yours now at WWE Shop and Fanatics, but this is not the only collab collection that's up right now. The Bape collection is up right now as well. Bape is, I mean, one of the all-time brands in streetwear. It is so cool as somebody that has been following streetwear forever to see Bape and WWE come together. But it's Bape, it's Complex, it's WWE, it's Tops, all combining forces on this brand new collaboration featuring an all new set of baby Milo tees.

51:53This collection includes some of your favorite superstars like Roman Reigns, like Cody Rhodes and the collection is available now on WWE Shop and Fanatics. These are cool clothes. Okay? Yep. When you see somebody like Dominic Mysterio walk around and you go, how do I look cool like Dominic Mysterio? That would be where I would start. Check him out now on WWE Shop of Fanatics Dominic Mysterio was looking super cool tonight Showing up in those gold glasses His hair is feathered as I've ever seen it But you know what made him look even cooler? The fact that Liv Morgan was by his side Oh by his side And then she slapped him again And just to remember when I slapped him Yeah I didn't mean it I didn't mean it You know what's really cool I think?

52:38I love that Dominic Mysterio left the John Cena side plate On the Intercontinental Championship I would definitely, if I won the Intercontinental title from John Cena, I would absolutely leave the John Cena side plate on. That's like, not only is it like, hey, here I am the Intercontinental champion, but I'm going to remind everybody who I beat for it. I took it off the greatest of all time. I mean, and then. Which also, by the transitive property, makes Dominic the greatest of all time. Of course it makes him the greatest of all time. I mean, it looks like John Lennon right there with those gold glass on.

53:12He looks like John Lennon. But let me tell you something about Liv Morgan. That ain't Yoko. Well. I don't think so. Well, listen, if it was Yoko, it would mean that Yoko would ruin the judgment day. And based on the way that Monday Night Raw went off the air with Raquel and Roxanne both holding the championships and Liv holding their arms up. Come on. It looks like she's not Oko-ing it up. That's right. I don't think so. I don't think so. plus I mean it's the coolest thing ever it really is it's the coolest thing ever so Liv Morgan I mean I would wear that photo just put the photo on a t-shirt yeah I would get it too and get it one of those three I would do it with the three the three phone do it three times like the collab I would even make it three times better I think it's a great idea uh so the judgment day comes out and Liv Morgan gets her own entrance the judgment day is back uh uh and And, you know, there were a couple of little moments in the promo, you know, when Dominic, first of all, the placement of the group, Dominic Mysterio and Liv Morgan standing in the front and the rest of the Judgment Day standing behind them.

54:20Well, to take it a step further, when they arrived at the arena, Dom and Liv in the cool convertible car. It was a lowrider. Yes. Lowrider. Like his dad used to drive. And then Dom and Liv get out of the car. They interact with the Judgment Day who were not in the lowrider whatsoever. And I was watching the body language. We saw Liv give Raquel a hug. She gave JD a hug. Former Women's Tag Team Champion. That's correct. And very good friend. She kind of gave Finn a handshake and Roxanne just a little nod. A little nod. I think she sees everybody. I think Liv Morgan sees everybody. But you see like Liv and Dom are up front standing in front of everybody.

55:01And while they're talking about what happened at Survivor Series, Dominic Mysterio at one point, you got to watch everything because everything counts. Dominic Mysterio is talking and he says, we knew that John Cena was aware of what the Judgment Day was going to do. And we knew that when the Judgment Day plans failed, we would have this up our sleeve. And when he said the Judgment Day plans fail, you saw for a minute, Finn Balor was like, what? What? You guys doubted us? Why did you think we were going to fail? Unfortunately for them, they did fail. So they were proven right again. Then Liv Morgan said, I can't help but notice, but ever since I've been gone, you guys have less gold.

55:45You're losing. What happened? And she's right. They haven't been getting along as well since Liv left either. Isn't it amazing what a difference Liv Morgan makes? Like instantly, you're like this woman who, by the way, when she first came in, she wasn't even welcome by the judgment day. I know. And you think about you think back to a year ago. Sure. Liv Morgan was not the star that she is right now. Like Liv Morgan has elevated so much. Two years ago, she just starting a revenge tour. Two years. She had no goals on the way to WrestleMania. Remember? No goals. Just Rhea. Just Rhea. And now look at this.

56:23She is the star. she's on the Wrestlemania commercials yeah and we saw the backstage interaction with Stephanie Vaquer looking at the women's world championship and just reminding Stephanie Vaquer in the world that she's back right now look she specifically said the judgment day is weak but don't worry because now I'm back on one end it's like oh great Liv Morgan's a great leader on the other end it's like that's not I don't want to hear that that's not good like if I'm the judgment day I don't want to be described as weak no and but here's the good news i'm back yeah they didn't exactly present as much excitedness right it's not like by the way i you you did go to northwestern excitedness they didn't um they didn't seem thrilled i will say no you're right you're right yeah excitement excitement was not exactly plastered all over their face thank you sam it's one in the same it is both work both of those are words and they both work Except one's not yet in the dictionary.

57:24It will be by next year. You know, they're adding new words. They put 6-7 in. They're going to put excitedness in next year. That's right. I think so. The Judgment Day, though, didn't exactly seem thrilled. Dominic did. Of course, Dominic did. Raquel seemed happy. She thinks she is. But it wasn't like a, yay, Liv Morgan's here to save us. Well, guess what? What options do they have? And I would argue that as Raw went on, it seemed more and more. It seems like Liv Morgan is focused on that singles women's world championship. And we'll get to the women's tag team championship scene because it was a wild scene to end Monday Night Raw.

57:59But I want to talk to you about these wild scenes. These wild scenes, they get captured forever. Thanks to Topps Now. We all love Topps Now. We all talk about Topps Now as an unbelievable Survivor Series war games. And as they always do, Topps Now is commemorating some of the biggest moments at Survivor Series. they're going to be releasing a men and women's war games card featuring the full teams, including highlight images from each match on the card backs. And wait till you hear this. You're going to need this one, I think. Liv Morgan return card. Liv is getting her own card from Survivor Series.

58:35Collector who buy the base card may also receive a short print card that features, there's an image variant. So if you get really lucky, you get the image variant. and it's a shot from the moment that she turned on John Cena. You mean the moment she paid off Elimination Chamber? Imagine having those two T.O.P.S. cards in your T.O.P.S. Now collection. John Cena turning on Cody, Liv Morgan turning on John Cena. I wonder if Cody has thanked Liv Morgan for that. I don't know. Speaking of Liv, by the way, she and Dom, oh, I got it, I got, are also on a dual card and lucky collectors who buy that card have the chance of a one out of one dual auto.

59:19There is a one of one dual auto signed by Liv and Dominic. We got to get that for the studio. My studio at home. No, this studio right here. We do need it. We need it. I'll wear it on a medallion like Logan Paul's Pokemon necklace. These cards, they're launching soon. so check tops.com and sign up for notifications so you don't miss him there will also be a John Cena solo card celebrating his final PLE and by the way this is great I mean we have our differences in opinion Becky Lynch we don't typically agree on she wants me fired but Liv and Dom can bring us together that's true and hopefully they're also going to bring together Raquel and Roxanne because at the end of Raw, you had this explosion.

1:00:08You had this amazing women's tag main event. Alexa and Charlotte versus Rhea and Io, and I was loving it. Loving it. Here come the Kabuki Warriors. Here come Bayley and Lyra. Here come the Judgment Day, and you realize how massive this women's tag division is really getting. But at the end of the night, it was Roxanne and Raquel who stood strong with the women's tag team championship. They hadn't won it. They were just holding it up just to get a feel for what it looks like. Liv Morgan enters the ring. Roxanne, realizing I don't have a leg to stand on here, I don't have a lot of leverage, hands the title over to Liv.

1:00:42Liv goes, no, you keep it, honey, and puts both their arms up in the air. I'm going to lead you to gold. And I truly do think that Liv Morgan is focused on getting the entire Judgment Day back to holding gold. If there's one person that can do it, it's Liv Morgan. Here's the problem. I think if anybody in that group doesn't hold their weight, Liv's going to drop them like a bad habit. She has to. She has high standards. I think she has high standards because, I mean, look at who she spends her life with. Dominic Mysterio. And that's tough for any man to be compared to Dominic. These two are running all of Monday Night Raw.

1:01:19You think so? They cannot surround themselves with losers. Do you think Liv and Dom have a shot of actually running Raw in 2026? Yes. Even with the Vision out there? It's tough. Even with CM Punk out there? It's tough, but yes. Wow. Well, I can't wait to see. I hope they go to Fanatics Fest.
