This is why there shouldn’t be non-title matches dammit

 

[Smart Marx]

You can’t rule out judgment day yet.

 

[Smart Marx]

So happy to see Kathy Kelly on WWE TV again.

 

[Smart Marx]

WWE is so good at setting up so many new directions they could potentially take that all sounds so exciting because I would not mind Drew and Roman at wrestlemania at all.

 

[Smart Marx]

Shocked that they even mentioned Brock Lesnar. Maybe not by name, but they referred to him as the beast.

 

[Smart Marx]

Oh wow for some reason, it didn’t even occur to me that he was gonna swing this back around to CM Punk.

 

[Smart Marx]

But I do think punk and Roman is the bigger marquee match so maybe Drew will somehow be the catalyst of making that happen.

 

[Smart Marx]

The Scottish Terminator is no match for the American nightmare.

 

[Smart Marx]

Sami with another accidental kick to Cody?

They set this up, brilliantly with Seth saying they weren’t going to accept another accident.

 

[Smart Marx]

That American nightmare bomber jacket is fucking awesome.

 

[Smart Marx]

Oh my God, am I going to see an all-time showdown between CM punk and Cody Rhodes on the mic?

 

[Smart Marx]

Of all the potential matches they’ve been teasing tonight, this is the one that I’m thinking is the least likely to occur, but I’ll be honest punk and Cody to me are the top two superstars in that ring and on that mic and if you really wanted a fucking Marquee-ass match to headline wrestlemania for the title you have CM punk win the Royal rumble and he challenges Cody Rhodes, and they tear the house down in the main event. The crowd will go nuts for these two in the main event.

 

[Smart Marx]

Cody’s acting right now is top notch.

 

[Smart Marx]

This is why punk is the goat. He’s not even in the match at the Royal rumble and he’s elevating that match more than anyone else can and making it mean something to everyone watching.

 

[Smart Marx]

It’s kind of funny that Cody has become the number one guy in the business basically doing the all American gimmick that Lex Luger wanted to do but winded up crashing and burning in his Lex Express.
