Dominik Mysterio Set This Story in Motion - WWE Raw Review 1/26/26

Dominik Mysterio Set This Story in Motion - WWE Raw Review 1/26/26

Before Monday Night Raw even started, Dominik Mysterio had already changed the direction of Judgment Day.


In this episode, I break down how Dominik’s social media behavior foreshadowed everything we saw on Raw — from Finn Balor being told to leave Judgment Day, to Liv Morgan reframing loyalty, to Roxanne Perez quietly disappearing from the story.


This is a receipts-based wrestling analysis covering Raw 1/26/26, Judgment Day’s internal fractures, CM Punk’s influence, and what this all means heading into the Royal Rumble and WrestleMania

00:00:00,040 --> 00:00:02,240
Before Monday Night Raw even
went on the air, Dominic

2
00:00:02,240 --> 00:00:05,240
Mysterio had already changed the
direction of the Judgment Day,

3
00:00:05,400 --> 00:00:08,760
and most people missed it
because Dom did three very

4
00:00:08,760 --> 00:00:12,560
specific things on social media.
He supported one person, ignored

5
00:00:12,560 --> 00:00:16,079
another, and publicly reacted to
Fimbler in a way that doesn't

6
00:00:16,079 --> 00:00:19,440
seem accidental.
Then we're all happened and

7
00:00:19,440 --> 00:00:22,600
suddenly Finn is being told to
leave Judgment Day, Liv is

8
00:00:22,800 --> 00:00:27,640
reframing loyalty, Roxanne
disappears, Raquel is tearing up

9
00:00:27,640 --> 00:00:30,560
Stephanie Vaquer, and Dominic's
name gets dragged without a

10
00:00:30,560 --> 00:00:32,240
single person defending his
name.

11
00:00:33,240 --> 00:00:35,040
This isn't chaos, it's a
pattern.

12
00:00:35,400 --> 00:00:37,480
And tonight I want to break down
how Dominic's social media

13
00:00:37,480 --> 00:00:40,560
behavior set up everything we
saw on Raw and why Judgment Day

14
00:00:40,560 --> 00:00:43,400
doesn't actually implode.
It reorganizes.

15
00:00:44,000 --> 00:00:46,000
So welcome, welcome.
My name is writer Maven.

16
00:00:46,000 --> 00:00:47,880
I am the host of the West
Embassies podcast.

17
00:00:47,880 --> 00:00:52,200
I cover all things Judgment Day,
Dom Live, Raquel, Ben, Roxanne

18
00:00:52,480 --> 00:00:57,720
Por Carlito, JD 2 and Los
Americanos, El Grande Americanos

19
00:00:57,760 --> 00:01:02,120
and AW.
This RAW review is entitled Can

20
00:01:02,120 --> 00:01:05,120
Judgment Day coexist?
Judgment Day's biggest problem

21
00:01:05,120 --> 00:01:07,560
right now isn't their enemies.
It's each other.

22
00:01:07,760 --> 00:01:10,120
And Dominic Mysterio.
Social media exposed that way

23
00:01:10,120 --> 00:01:13,720
before RAW even started.
Here's the timeline.

24
00:01:13,960 --> 00:01:17,520
Receipts only.
First, Dom retweets Roxanne

25
00:01:17,520 --> 00:01:19,640
Perez's post from Saturday night
meet event.

26
00:01:20,120 --> 00:01:24,320
This post shows Roxanne and Liv
Morgan walk in important detail.

27
00:01:24,400 --> 00:01:29,280
That post goes up after Roxanne
and Liv lose to Ria Ripley and

28
00:01:29,280 --> 00:01:32,280
EO Sky.
Then five hours later, Don

29
00:01:32,280 --> 00:01:35,440
repost Liv Morgan's post about
her performance that same night.

30
00:01:35,960 --> 00:01:39,000
On paper, that looks harmless,
but wrestling stories aren't

31
00:01:39,040 --> 00:01:41,560
written on paper, they're
written in patterns, and I'm

32
00:01:41,560 --> 00:01:47,400
seeing the patterns.
So what I did is make a post on

33
00:01:47,400 --> 00:01:51,920
the XI pointed out that Dom's
reposting of Roxanne's post

34
00:01:52,400 --> 00:01:56,840
might be a take that to when Liv
did not share any kind of

35
00:01:56,840 --> 00:02:00,880
consultants or support after his
loss to John Cena when he lost

36
00:02:00,880 --> 00:02:02,200
the Intercontinental
Championship.

37
00:02:03,800 --> 00:02:05,520
People immediately called this
rage bait.

38
00:02:05,920 --> 00:02:08,400
But rage bait doesn't come in
time stamps, receipts do.

39
00:02:08,600 --> 00:02:12,120
We've already seen Dominic
publicly support live after her

40
00:02:12,120 --> 00:02:15,440
losses before, including after
her title loss to Ria Ripley at

41
00:02:15,440 --> 00:02:18,840
the next its premiere.
We've also seen Ria Ripley

42
00:02:18,840 --> 00:02:22,400
publicly support after his
championship loss, including

43
00:02:22,400 --> 00:02:24,560
after his second North American
Championship.

44
00:02:26,200 --> 00:02:30,040
So the argument that Dom doesn't
need that or Dom doesn't do that

45
00:02:30,240 --> 00:02:34,440
doesn't really hold up.
Why is Liv's support suddenly

46
00:02:34,440 --> 00:02:36,640
selective?
But that's nothing.

47
00:02:36,640 --> 00:02:39,920
It's just storyline progression
and the harder people try to

48
00:02:40,160 --> 00:02:43,240
explain it away, the more
uncomfortable it clearly makes

49
00:02:43,240 --> 00:02:46,080
them.
Because you can only over

50
00:02:46,080 --> 00:02:47,680
explain things that don't sit
right.

51
00:02:48,320 --> 00:02:52,400
And I haven't even done defend
yet because while Dawn is moving

52
00:02:52,400 --> 00:02:56,000
in a certain way, online and
galore does something very

53
00:02:56,000 --> 00:02:58,840
deliberate.
He posted a photo with CM Punk

54
00:02:58,840 --> 00:03:00,920
after a match in Belfast.
The caption?

55
00:03:01,000 --> 00:03:02,240
Respect.
That's it.

56
00:03:02,680 --> 00:03:06,520
Now let's be honest, CM Punk is
a known OP to Dominic Mysterio.

57
00:03:06,960 --> 00:03:09,720
Not response, not words.
An Instagram reply.

58
00:03:11,000 --> 00:03:15,520
A reply that has Denzel Boskling
doing his dorm slamming gift.

59
00:03:16,600 --> 00:03:19,120
That's not playful.
That's a message to Dominic.

60
00:03:19,120 --> 00:03:21,480
That post isn't respect, it's a
respect.

61
00:03:21,480 --> 00:03:24,120
It's a betrayal.
So with all that said, let's get

62
00:03:24,120 --> 00:03:27,760
into Raw shall we?
Six women tag Liv Morgan,

63
00:03:28,160 --> 00:03:30,880
Roxanne Perez and Raquel
Rodriguez versus Ria Ripley ES

64
00:03:30,880 --> 00:03:34,080
Guy and Stephanie Raquel.
Ria pins Roxanne.

65
00:03:34,640 --> 00:03:37,160
Now people can stop bitching
about Liv not being pinned on.

66
00:03:38,360 --> 00:03:41,160
They can stop crying about Liv
being pinned on Saturday.

67
00:03:42,760 --> 00:03:46,240
Then Ria entered.
The match was good, the offense,

68
00:03:46,240 --> 00:03:48,200
Jasmine, Dave was clicking, they
were working together.

69
00:03:49,120 --> 00:03:50,960
Then Ria comes in and becomes
super Sinner.

70
00:03:51,440 --> 00:03:54,920
She wrecks Liv, Roxanna, Raquel
and I absolutely hate this

71
00:03:54,920 --> 00:03:57,320
booking.
Kale was being positioned as a

72
00:03:57,320 --> 00:03:59,120
powerhouse and gets handled
easily.

73
00:03:59,280 --> 00:04:01,480
Wave and Roxanne are being
tossed around like nothing.

74
00:04:02,400 --> 00:04:06,920
Ria's booking in these multi man
matches effectively hurts

75
00:04:06,960 --> 00:04:10,440
everyone else.
Lives should be getting more

76
00:04:10,440 --> 00:04:12,280
offense in.
Roxanne gets a little bit more

77
00:04:12,280 --> 00:04:15,080
offense in but she's tossed
around and Raquel should not be

78
00:04:15,080 --> 00:04:17,519
just being batted to the side so
easily.

79
00:04:17,519 --> 00:04:21,040
Maria's in there.
I hated it then last year and I

80
00:04:21,040 --> 00:04:23,600
hate it now.
Raquel especially does not need

81
00:04:23,600 --> 00:04:25,360
that type of booking in the
matches.

82
00:04:25,360 --> 00:04:29,480
She should be standing up to
Rhea and handling her toe to

83
00:04:29,480 --> 00:04:31,840
toe.
Some key vigils from this match.

84
00:04:31,840 --> 00:04:35,240
Stephanie is still limping
Libby.

85
00:04:35,240 --> 00:04:39,280
Raquel exchanged looks during
and after the match and even

86
00:04:39,280 --> 00:04:42,520
before and those were really not
not nice looks.

87
00:04:43,200 --> 00:04:46,240
Roxanne disappeared from Raw
after this match which sucked.

88
00:04:46,400 --> 00:04:50,720
More on this later because Finn,
Liv and and Raquel all got more

89
00:04:50,720 --> 00:04:53,320
screen signed than Roxanne and
that matters.

90
00:04:53,640 --> 00:04:58,760
Next up we have Finn and Punk
and no one defends Dom

91
00:04:59,960 --> 00:05:02,000
Backstage, Finn approaches CM
Punk.

92
00:05:02,000 --> 00:05:04,880
Finn says that even though he
didn't win, the match was one of

93
00:05:04,880 --> 00:05:06,640
the most memorable moments of
his life.

94
00:05:07,080 --> 00:05:10,160
Funk says it takes 2 to tango,
he gives opportunities to those

95
00:05:10,160 --> 00:05:13,200
who earned them and if Finn
wants to be champion, he needs

96
00:05:13,200 --> 00:05:18,560
to leave Judgment Day.
And then Punk says this.

97
00:05:18,760 --> 00:05:23,720
He calls Dominic Mysterio
garbage and Finn says nothing.

98
00:05:24,400 --> 00:05:26,400
Stepdaddy Finn does not defend
Dom's honor.

99
00:05:26,640 --> 00:05:29,960
More on that in a bit too.
And then we roll into Raquel and

100
00:05:29,960 --> 00:05:32,760
Stephanie.
Raquel is backstage searching

101
00:05:32,760 --> 00:05:35,880
for Stephanie and Adam Pierce.
She runs into Bailey and Lyra.

102
00:05:35,880 --> 00:05:39,640
Bailey points her towards
Pierce's office and Lyra gets in

103
00:05:39,640 --> 00:05:42,360
between them saying asking if
there's a problem.

104
00:05:42,720 --> 00:05:45,120
This is when Stephanie comes in
out of the blue and attacks

105
00:05:45,120 --> 00:05:47,240
Raquel.
They start brawling.

106
00:05:47,360 --> 00:05:52,160
You see Stephanie headbutting
Raquel and Raquel is pretty much

107
00:05:52,240 --> 00:05:54,880
effortlessly lifting up
Stephanie procure while they

108
00:05:54,960 --> 00:05:56,640
while the officials pulled them
apart.

109
00:05:57,600 --> 00:05:59,160
I love this view.
The feud is working.

110
00:05:59,160 --> 00:06:02,840
It has heat, it feels personal
and I just love how they're

111
00:06:02,840 --> 00:06:04,600
interacting.
This is something that Stephanie

112
00:06:04,600 --> 00:06:06,840
needed and this is something
that Raquel needed as well.

113
00:06:07,080 --> 00:06:09,600
Raquel away from real looks like
a legitimate threat.

114
00:06:09,600 --> 00:06:12,080
Like this is something that
should have been happening in

115
00:06:12,200 --> 00:06:16,560
the the sixth woman tag match,
like away from Raquel.

116
00:06:16,720 --> 00:06:20,720
I mean, away from Rea, Raquel
looks very imposing like she

117
00:06:20,720 --> 00:06:23,680
should, but when she's in there
with Ria she doesn't.

118
00:06:24,600 --> 00:06:27,040
Bailey and Lyra definitely need
some direction and something

119
00:06:27,040 --> 00:06:29,360
else to do.
I know they're still positioning

120
00:06:29,360 --> 00:06:33,680
themselves in the tag division
and they have a running bit with

121
00:06:34,600 --> 00:06:37,640
Adam Pierce which is hilarious,
but they still need something

122
00:06:37,640 --> 00:06:42,360
more to do.
Next up, we have said that if in

123
00:06:42,600 --> 00:06:46,960
trying to declare for the Royal
Rumble, Pierce says it's full

124
00:06:47,240 --> 00:06:49,200
despite people declaring
earlier.

125
00:06:51,120 --> 00:06:54,680
Finn is upset with this and
walks off and he then runs into

126
00:06:54,680 --> 00:06:58,680
live, live refrains everything.
Pen punk embarrassed, been in

127
00:06:58,680 --> 00:07:02,720
his hometown, held up his arm
like a participation trophy and

128
00:07:02,720 --> 00:07:07,080
told him to leave Judgment Day.
Liz says Judgment Day wants Finn

129
00:07:07,080 --> 00:07:09,520
to be a champion because they're
his family.

130
00:07:10,120 --> 00:07:11,920
And Finn says it's not that
simple.

131
00:07:13,080 --> 00:07:15,280
Translation.
We've just manipulated them back

132
00:07:15,280 --> 00:07:19,840
to the dark side and again, Liv
does not defend Dom here and

133
00:07:19,840 --> 00:07:23,440
does not defend on.
Keep that in mind in the back of

134
00:07:23,440 --> 00:07:27,680
your head folks.
And now we've come into Raquel

135
00:07:27,680 --> 00:07:31,720
and Stephanie.
Raquel it interrupts Byron

136
00:07:31,720 --> 00:07:37,600
Sackins interview that's
happening during the commercial

137
00:07:37,600 --> 00:07:39,720
break.
She's calling out Stephanie.

138
00:07:39,720 --> 00:07:42,560
She's saying that Stephanie's
been avoiding her and that she

139
00:07:42,560 --> 00:07:46,560
has an excuses and she pretty
much says for Stephanie to make

140
00:07:46,560 --> 00:07:49,040
the match.
Later on after this interview

141
00:07:49,400 --> 00:07:52,800
Stephanie walks up on to Adam
Pierce and she says she doesn't

142
00:07:52,800 --> 00:07:55,840
want to match with Raquel.
She wants to fight and then Adam

143
00:07:55,840 --> 00:08:00,000
Pierce the says that he's going
to set a Philadelphia street

144
00:08:00,000 --> 00:08:05,040
fight for next Monday night Raw.
Some brief notes on this.

145
00:08:05,040 --> 00:08:09,840
The free fight can cover any
kind of injuries that Stephanie

146
00:08:10,600 --> 00:08:13,320
is might still be having and
lingering.

147
00:08:13,520 --> 00:08:16,440
And I really hope they do pull
the trigger on the match with

148
00:08:16,440 --> 00:08:20,000
Raquel because that invokes some
Drew McIntyre situations and

149
00:08:20,000 --> 00:08:21,160
I'll get into that in a little
bit.

150
00:08:21,440 --> 00:08:25,720
And then for the final act, we
have AJ Styles versus CM Punk

151
00:08:25,720 --> 00:08:29,400
and this instant chaos because
the the demented demon known as

152
00:08:29,400 --> 00:08:33,559
some fimble or rear sees a
killer here again and causes a

153
00:08:33,559 --> 00:08:38,440
no contest.
He destroys Punk and then stands

154
00:08:38,440 --> 00:08:40,200
tall to close the stroll.
The show.

155
00:08:40,440 --> 00:08:44,039
And of course people are saying
like we just nearly had Finn as

156
00:08:44,039 --> 00:08:48,120
a face and now you've ruined it.
But this doesn't mean that Finn

157
00:08:48,120 --> 00:08:51,880
is staying heel.
Damien Priest did the same.

158
00:08:52,160 --> 00:08:55,440
There's something similar prior
to his face turn two years ago.

159
00:08:56,240 --> 00:08:59,640
This is just one last violent
beat before a face turn.

160
00:08:59,880 --> 00:09:03,880
Now for some raw quick hits.
Prayers reinstates Brown Breaker

161
00:09:03,880 --> 00:09:05,920
contradicting his own Rumble
logic.

162
00:09:07,080 --> 00:09:12,280
Fresh out of prison, Austin
Theory beat Rey Mysterio.

163
00:09:12,640 --> 00:09:16,280
The ex got thrown up so Ray Ray
might be hurt so prayers to him.

164
00:09:16,960 --> 00:09:19,880
Otis and Makira are the new #1
contenders for the World Tag

165
00:09:19,880 --> 00:09:21,800
Team Championships.
And people need to really stop

166
00:09:21,800 --> 00:09:24,360
sleeping on accurate Zedawa
because that man is good.

167
00:09:25,520 --> 00:09:29,440
We also had like a little promo
for Natty and we had some other

168
00:09:29,440 --> 00:09:33,120
net interviews with Gunther who
was threatening Michael Cole and

169
00:09:33,120 --> 00:09:35,960
I don't know what that's about,
but Gunther can go away.

170
00:09:36,120 --> 00:09:40,920
I like just being a meanie just
to threaten Michael Cole, even

171
00:09:40,920 --> 00:09:43,200
though I want Dom to slap
Michael Cole upside the head.

172
00:09:43,640 --> 00:09:48,880
It ain't it.
Here are some final Judgment

173
00:09:48,880 --> 00:09:53,920
Days takes just what day needs
to stay far, far away from Rhea.

174
00:09:53,920 --> 00:09:56,520
And the same things goes for
Damien Priest as well, where

175
00:09:56,520 --> 00:10:00,480
we've been lucky that Judgment
Day hasn't been around Damien

176
00:10:00,480 --> 00:10:03,560
Priest, especially as they keep
trying to rebuild him with like

177
00:10:03,560 --> 00:10:07,680
Alistair Black and Lena Vega.
So that's they've been good on

178
00:10:07,680 --> 00:10:10,080
that man.
But just the day around Rhea,

179
00:10:10,520 --> 00:10:13,080
this is a good thing.
Why Rhea hadn't been interacting

180
00:10:13,080 --> 00:10:16,360
with them for a long time
because even though Roxanne and

181
00:10:16,360 --> 00:10:20,560
then we're losing Roxanne
especially, they weren't getting

182
00:10:20,800 --> 00:10:24,400
losses to the point where they
just look bad.

183
00:10:25,240 --> 00:10:29,160
Every time Rhea runs up against
Judgment Day, they don't look

184
00:10:29,200 --> 00:10:32,000
like they should live should be
looking stronger, Roxanne should

185
00:10:32,000 --> 00:10:34,560
be looking stronger, and Raquel
should be looking a hell of a

186
00:10:34,560 --> 00:10:37,640
lot stronger.
But it's like they want to show

187
00:10:37,640 --> 00:10:41,200
that Rhea is just does never
need a judgment Day, which is

188
00:10:41,360 --> 00:10:44,480
complete another bullshit.
I mean judgment day was the one

189
00:10:44,480 --> 00:10:47,920
that got her to her position.
It's not like she went into

190
00:10:47,920 --> 00:10:51,320
judgment day as the superstar.
She came out of Judges Day a

191
00:10:51,360 --> 00:10:56,240
superstar so.
But just to change the women of

192
00:10:56,240 --> 00:11:00,160
judgement day especially need to
stay far far away from Rio

193
00:11:00,160 --> 00:11:02,400
Ripley.
This is why I have issues when

194
00:11:02,400 --> 00:11:06,280
they want to keep running Dom
and Ria on the live event

195
00:11:06,280 --> 00:11:08,480
towards that's been over and
done with.

196
00:11:08,640 --> 00:11:11,760
That's his ex-girlfriend.
Leave Dom alone.

197
00:11:12,000 --> 00:11:16,040
Ben and possibly Raquel leaving
the judgement day does not mean

198
00:11:16,040 --> 00:11:18,760
the faction implodes.
I want y'all to pay particular

199
00:11:18,760 --> 00:11:23,760
attention to what Punk said to
Finn.

200
00:11:24,440 --> 00:11:28,080
Punk said to Finn that he needs
to leave Judgment Day and that

201
00:11:28,080 --> 00:11:30,640
he doesn't need to be around
garbage like Dominic Mysterio.

202
00:11:31,360 --> 00:11:33,800
That does not sound like a
Judgment Day implosion.

203
00:11:34,120 --> 00:11:36,920
No matter how many times people
want Judgment Day to implode,

204
00:11:36,920 --> 00:11:39,400
they're probably gonna still end
up being like Bullet Club where

205
00:11:39,400 --> 00:11:42,560
people just leave and enter as
needed.

206
00:11:43,800 --> 00:11:47,640
And with Finn leaving, that
completes the cycle of the Ogs

207
00:11:47,640 --> 00:11:50,360
leaving in the order they came
into Judgment Day.

208
00:11:51,080 --> 00:11:54,040
RE and Damian went out first.
First it was is because he's the

209
00:11:54,040 --> 00:11:57,280
LG member, and then it was RE
and Damian and that was Finn.

210
00:11:57,280 --> 00:11:59,320
So it's completes that whole
trilogy.

211
00:11:59,320 --> 00:12:02,280
The Next up would be Dom to
leave Judgment Day.

212
00:12:02,720 --> 00:12:06,800
But I think people need to
realize that Dom's character, in

213
00:12:06,800 --> 00:12:11,040
order for it to work, actually
needs a group because who's

214
00:12:11,040 --> 00:12:13,560
going to be taking the pin?
You want them to be like this

215
00:12:13,920 --> 00:12:17,640
King of the Luchadors and and
Sucio the Sucios and Dirty Dom.

216
00:12:18,120 --> 00:12:21,360
He needs to have people around
him to that can possibly take

217
00:12:21,360 --> 00:12:24,480
the ping who can possibly take
the hit where Dom can kind of

218
00:12:24,480 --> 00:12:25,840
run around.
That's kind of like what I'll

219
00:12:25,840 --> 00:12:28,640
Grande was doing it before Dom
had his temper tantrum.

220
00:12:28,760 --> 00:12:32,800
You see what I mean?
So just because Finn is turning

221
00:12:32,800 --> 00:12:35,400
crazy and Raquel might leave and
they might both leave does not

222
00:12:35,400 --> 00:12:37,400
mean this is in the judgment day
implosion.

223
00:12:37,400 --> 00:12:40,000
And then on that note, it also
doesn't mean that Liv and Dom

224
00:12:40,000 --> 00:12:43,040
are leaving on their own because
they have been both in judgement

225
00:12:43,040 --> 00:12:47,880
judgment day as a family.
So if she wanted to leave

226
00:12:47,880 --> 00:12:51,520
judgment day, she would not be
bringing up this terminology.

227
00:12:51,720 --> 00:12:54,440
Living Dom are possibly not
leaving judgment day.

228
00:12:54,440 --> 00:12:56,600
In fact, I even think Liv will
probably leave judgment day from

229
00:12:56,600 --> 00:12:59,200
them before Dom, but that's I'll
get into that later too.

230
00:12:59,480 --> 00:13:03,800
But what stands out is that
judgment day is going to exist.

231
00:13:03,800 --> 00:13:08,800
And also what stands out is that
then did not defend Dom and Liv

232
00:13:08,800 --> 00:13:13,640
did not defend Dom.
So why was it important that Liv

233
00:13:13,640 --> 00:13:16,800
brings up judgment day but not
defend Dom's honor?

234
00:13:17,720 --> 00:13:19,560
That's something that is going
to be lost.

235
00:13:19,600 --> 00:13:23,000
And I'm sure when I bring this
up later on, people are going to

236
00:13:23,000 --> 00:13:26,360
be annoyed with me again.
But it is what it is.

237
00:13:27,720 --> 00:13:32,160
So Nobody defended Dom's honor
and that's a very important

238
00:13:32,160 --> 00:13:35,640
clue.
I also don't like that Roxanne

239
00:13:35,640 --> 00:13:38,720
disappeared after her match.
Like everybody else was doing

240
00:13:38,720 --> 00:13:41,760
something, them was doing
something, Roxanne was doing

241
00:13:41,760 --> 00:13:44,840
something and Lib with doing
something Throughout the show

242
00:13:44,840 --> 00:13:48,440
Roxanne was gone and that
actually leads me to believe

243
00:13:48,440 --> 00:13:50,680
that she is tied with Dom's
story.

244
00:13:50,680 --> 00:13:53,880
So since Dom isn't there, she's
not going to be used as much.

245
00:13:53,880 --> 00:13:56,720
I just wish that they would have
her do just a tiny bit more.

246
00:13:56,720 --> 00:13:59,960
If she is tied with Dom's story,
she needs to be doing something

247
00:13:59,960 --> 00:14:02,120
in the background.
Like let her do something

248
00:14:02,200 --> 00:14:05,760
because her just disappearing
like that is just odd and kind

249
00:14:05,760 --> 00:14:07,160
of sticks out like a sword
throne.

250
00:14:07,480 --> 00:14:10,040
But here are my predictions for
the Royal Rumble.

251
00:14:10,280 --> 00:14:13,640
And the Monday Night Raw will
probably might not win the Royal

252
00:14:13,640 --> 00:14:15,800
Rumble.
Now, I hope for her fans say

253
00:14:15,800 --> 00:14:19,040
that she does because there's
going to be a meltdown of epic

254
00:14:19,040 --> 00:14:23,320
proportions if she doesn't.
But with Bianca looming and

255
00:14:23,320 --> 00:14:27,920
Tiffany looming and things like
that, I can't really say that

256
00:14:27,920 --> 00:14:33,280
Liv wins the Royal Rumble.
In fact, to keep pushing for the

257
00:14:33,280 --> 00:14:36,920
Judgment Day story, I can see
them doing something where all

258
00:14:36,920 --> 00:14:39,480
the ladies of Judgment Day are
tossed out just to continue that

259
00:14:39,480 --> 00:14:42,280
tension, especially going into
Monday Night Raw.

260
00:14:42,560 --> 00:14:46,000
Because what happens on Monday
Night Raw is Raquel match with

261
00:14:46,000 --> 00:14:48,000
Stephanie in that Philadelphia
street fight.

262
00:14:49,680 --> 00:14:52,160
So I can easily see them get all
tossed.

263
00:14:52,680 --> 00:14:55,240
Raquel wins her magic and
Stephanie because that's what

264
00:14:55,240 --> 00:14:57,280
needs to happen.
She shouldn't be coming up

265
00:14:57,280 --> 00:14:58,960
short.
She if he comes up short.

266
00:14:58,960 --> 00:15:02,160
This is a Drew making situation
where she can't win the big one

267
00:15:02,520 --> 00:15:04,720
and they would be wasting all
this effort.

268
00:15:04,720 --> 00:15:06,440
Raquel just for her to come up
short.

269
00:15:06,760 --> 00:15:08,920
This is a perfect time to pull
the trigger.

270
00:15:09,200 --> 00:15:11,360
Let her have the title, let her
have a cup for a couple of

271
00:15:11,360 --> 00:15:14,920
months and then Lip would come
in and win the Elimination

272
00:15:14,920 --> 00:15:19,040
Chamber and then they can start
fighting at WrestleMania.

273
00:15:20,840 --> 00:15:24,400
Because of one other situation
I've seen people throw out there

274
00:15:24,400 --> 00:15:29,800
is like Raquel B lives first
feud after WrestleMania, like

275
00:15:29,800 --> 00:15:32,240
after she wins the title.
And I think that's foul because

276
00:15:32,600 --> 00:15:36,520
people rarely win that first
match after being challenged for

277
00:15:36,520 --> 00:15:39,400
it.
And that's dragging out Raquel,

278
00:15:40,400 --> 00:15:43,480
you know, and lives few way
longer because what does Liv do?

279
00:15:43,760 --> 00:15:48,600
What does Raquel do between now
and WrestleMania if she's not

280
00:15:48,600 --> 00:15:51,960
involved with Liv, You know, you
know, you did all this for

281
00:15:51,960 --> 00:15:57,320
Raquel just to where live to win
have a heatless match with

282
00:15:57,320 --> 00:15:59,680
Stephanie, mind you, because
there is no heat there.

283
00:15:59,680 --> 00:16:03,760
The heat is between Stephanie
and Raquel and Raquel and Liv,

284
00:16:03,960 --> 00:16:07,120
not Stephanie and Liv.
And I'm sure you can manufacture

285
00:16:07,120 --> 00:16:11,120
something, but it's not personal
like these other two feuds are.

286
00:16:12,240 --> 00:16:15,640
So you would have Raquel do
nothing and then have her pop up

287
00:16:15,640 --> 00:16:19,840
just to give live a challenger
where you can just be given live

288
00:16:19,840 --> 00:16:25,080
another challenger in that first
match after WrestleMania if she

289
00:16:25,080 --> 00:16:29,240
wins it.
So hopefully Big Mommy, cool,

290
00:16:29,400 --> 00:16:32,640
Big Sexy wins on Monday because
I want that for her.

291
00:16:32,640 --> 00:16:35,040
I think she's been putting into
work, she's been dealing with a

292
00:16:35,040 --> 00:16:39,040
lot and I think she can carry
this, that title for a few

293
00:16:39,040 --> 00:16:40,920
months at least until
WrestleMania.

294
00:16:40,920 --> 00:16:42,960
And then she can drop it.
Like Stephanie doesn't need to

295
00:16:42,960 --> 00:16:44,200
be carrying it all the way
through.

296
00:16:44,920 --> 00:16:48,520
Because remember, if she if Liv
wins and then she chooses

297
00:16:48,520 --> 00:16:52,160
Stephanie and Stephanie wins on
Monday, that's the few that has

298
00:16:52,160 --> 00:16:55,120
to carry all the way into
WrestleMania, which is about 2-3

299
00:16:55,120 --> 00:16:57,560
months.
Like what do you do in an

300
00:16:57,560 --> 00:16:59,360
interim?
I mean, I wouldn't put it past

301
00:16:59,360 --> 00:17:03,640
Triple H, but you have to have
something there to keep them

302
00:17:03,680 --> 00:17:07,560
that that feud going and for who
I think would probably win the

303
00:17:07,560 --> 00:17:09,880
Royal Rumble.
Bianca, I think she returns,

304
00:17:09,960 --> 00:17:13,920
like people were saying that
because the Street Profits are

305
00:17:13,920 --> 00:17:16,200
going to be in NXT doing some
live events, that Bianca doesn't

306
00:17:16,200 --> 00:17:17,920
return.
That doesn't mean anything.

307
00:17:18,280 --> 00:17:22,359
Naomi and Jimmy would do things
separately or they would be used

308
00:17:22,359 --> 00:17:24,640
at all and other people would be
doing something and they had the

309
00:17:24,640 --> 00:17:26,880
married couple.
So just because St.

310
00:17:26,880 --> 00:17:29,800
Profits are in NXT doing
something doesn't mean Bianca

311
00:17:29,800 --> 00:17:32,280
can't be halfway around the
world, world at the Royal

312
00:17:32,280 --> 00:17:35,720
Rumble, right?
It's if, you know, if they want

313
00:17:35,720 --> 00:17:37,480
a big surprise, they can do
that.

314
00:17:37,960 --> 00:17:41,080
The WWE has ways.
It's just kind of like how Dom

315
00:17:41,080 --> 00:17:44,000
showed up over there in Saudi
Arabia for live when we thought

316
00:17:44,000 --> 00:17:47,200
he wasn't going to pop up.
Like, I mean, they can do it.

317
00:17:47,560 --> 00:17:49,800
I also think Dom is going to
return at the Royal Rumble.

318
00:17:50,160 --> 00:17:54,720
See, I thought he was going to
come in and like toss Finn at

319
00:17:54,720 --> 00:17:57,240
the Royal Rumble.
But since Finn is being his

320
00:17:57,240 --> 00:18:00,360
demented self in the Texian
Punk, I think Finn will be

321
00:18:00,360 --> 00:18:03,400
challenging CM Punk at the Royal
Rumble for the title.

322
00:18:04,320 --> 00:18:07,800
So they can do an impromptu like
match there to kind of fill out

323
00:18:07,800 --> 00:18:10,960
the card.
And then you have Finn loose and

324
00:18:10,960 --> 00:18:13,520
he can be upset and then maybe
Dom comes in and mocks him

325
00:18:13,520 --> 00:18:18,680
because CM Punk is still Dom's
OPS even though it hasn't gotten

326
00:18:18,800 --> 00:18:22,040
to reached out to TV TV just yet
officially.

327
00:18:22,960 --> 00:18:27,520
And then hopefully this coming
up Monday, Roxanne fully every

328
00:18:27,520 --> 00:18:30,120
enters the story in a major way.
Like, she needs to hit the

329
00:18:30,120 --> 00:18:32,320
ground running and get her
storyline going.

330
00:18:32,960 --> 00:18:34,680
Like, she's been a supportive
role.

331
00:18:34,680 --> 00:18:38,360
Like, she's being like the
little sister to live and, you

332
00:18:38,360 --> 00:18:42,960
know, helping fill out this feud
with Raquel.

333
00:18:43,280 --> 00:18:45,280
But this is where it needs to
go.
