But first, the game that you just watched. The Lions, despite all of their injuries, dominate. AG caught a heck of a game because Minnesota had it so many times. Goal to go in the red zone. And AG said nah bro, y'all ain't gonna get number of field goals. Y'all will not break into our home. So despite all the injuries, the Lions defense turned into a mask, turned a masterpiece in limited the Vikings and that high powered offense. Pro bowl wide receiver, Pro bowl quarterback said no thank you. The reward? Home field advantage throughout the playoffs. Dan Campbell tells Kevin OConnell, I'll see you in two weeks during the postgame handshake. If Minnesota beats the Rams in LA next week, they could potentially be right back here at the in Detroit for the rematch. Ocho.
CM Punk
Yes sir.
Shannon Sharpe
Jared Goff didn't play his best game. He turned the ball over. But Jameer Gibbs ran wild. 23 carries, a buck 39, three, I repeat, three touchdowns. Jerry Goff was 27, 33, 231, one touchdowns, two interceptions. But when it had to have it, they got it. They did a great job of pressuring. Sam Darnold all night flustered him 18 of 41. A buck 66 was sacked twice, no touchdowns, no interception. What did you like about what you saw?
CM Punk
Listen, AG called a hell of a Game. You said it. He called. He called one hell of a game. Obviously keeping Sam Donald off script, making him uncomfortable, not allowing him to settle in and find rhythm with. With ad. God damn it. With Addison goddamn Jefferson Hawkinson, obviously Jared Goff not playing his best game tonight. But when he, when he needed to make certain throws, he was able to make them. But Jameer Gibbs showed it a load. He showed it a load and did what he needed to do to carry the team. And that's what happened tonight most of the time. You would think with it being a pass happy league the way it is outside of the, the Detroit, I mean outside the Baltimore Ravens, you expect them to own a game using the run game. I didn't expect that from Detroit. I, I didn't expect it from Detroit. Not with, not with just Gibbs. Maybe if Montgomery was there. We have your two headed mustard. But for them to be able to do it with Gibbs and him run crazy the way he did tonight, what he had what, 161. 177.
Shannon Sharpe
No, he had 23 carries, a buck 39. He had three touchdowns on the ground and he had one touchdown through the air. So Gibbs had four total touchdowns. It was my mistake.
CM Punk
Yeah.
Shannon Sharpe
23 for a buck 39. Three rushing touchdowns and he caught a fourth and goal on a Texas route. Yeah, he loves that little Texas route where he starts about and he angles it back in. Some people call it angle, some people call it Texas. We called it Texas and. But we also had an angle route. He was sensational tonight.
CM Punk
Yeah, man, he was.
Shannon Sharpe
Everybody you could understand why he's going to the Pro Bowl. Representing the NFC running backs in the Pro Bowl. Ocho. Yeah, because he was sensational. It's Saquon. Jameer Gibbs and Josh Jacobs represent the AFC at the running back position in the Pro Bowl. But this was a running game. This was the running attack. And that defense having Anazoni. I think that's how you say his name back. He was back after breaking his forearm. He had the picture on. I think it was on IG or Twitter where he showed all the staples that was in his arm. He came back, he added a spark, a juice to that. And they did a great job. They did a great job of limiting Jefferson. They did a great job of harassing Sam Donald all night. Sam Donald did not look good tonight. That goes a lot to that Detroit defense, even though they're injured. The one thing I love about Dan Campbell, he does not make excuses and he does not. He does not give his team the Ability to make excuses because he says it doesn't matter who's out there. I expect my team to go out there and play very, very well. And they've done just that. And by doing that tonight, they sew up home field advantage throughout. As long as they win, you're going to have to go through Detroit in order to get to New Orleans. 319 over Minnesota. Detroit. We saw this thing building the year before. I think they won like their last six or seven games and you saw it building last year. They got a kind of little slow start, but they picked it up. Got all the way to the NFC championship game, if I'm not mistaken. Had like a 17. 7 lead at half and kind of squandered that thing away. But this year, knowing and learning from what transpired last year, Ocho. Yeah, this looks like an improved team. This look like a team that's hungry. They have something to prove. That's a dangerous man. That's a dangerous team. When you have something to prove and you go out there and do it week in and week out and you have to be impressed with what you saw from Detroit.
CM Punk
Yeah, most definitely. Listen, not only press what we saw from Detroit, not in this game, just. But what we've seen from them all season. But Dan can be able to do for the culture, you know, in Detroit and for that locker room and that franchise and coming in with the attitude that he has, you know, everybody was laughing at him when he first got there, talking about he gonna bite on kneecaps, you know, making jokes. We, we, we laughing at and not, not knowing, not understanding. Listen, in what a 3, 3, 4 year span franchise has completely turned around, it's no longer a laughingstock. So now, based on what he's been able to do, obviously getting the right pieces around him and Jerry Goff and some of the other fellows, Jameer Gibbs and Montgomery, Jameson Williams, Monroe, St. Brown and some defensive players. Brian Branch, one of the best in the game. Dude, they are super bowl contenders now in such a short span.
Shannon Sharpe
The thing is, is that it only matters. 15 and 2 is great and I don't want to minimize that.
CM Punk
Right.
Shannon Sharpe
But when it matters, can you beat 15 and 2? Because now it's 00.
CM Punk
Yeah.
Shannon Sharpe
You have to play your best in order to advance. You can't turn the ball over like you did today and expect to beat these teams. No, you play double for turnovers, playoff time. And Detroit's gonna have to. And golf is gonna have to play better. I believe he will. But Jameer Gibbs, they Leaned heavily on Gibbs. He's so explosive. I mean, he hit a crease and he's a threat to hit his head on the goalpost.
CM Punk
Yep. Bye. Bye.
Shannon Sharpe
He was sensational tonight. They need it. Amon Ross St. Brown came up with big third down catch after big third down catch. So did laporta. JMO had a couple of big catches in there. And that's what you have to do. You have to stay on the field on third down because the more a that wears on the defense.
CM Punk
Yeah.
Shannon Sharpe
The more you stay on the field and pick up those third downs because all you want to do is get to the third down. Defense, let's get in the third down, let's get off the field. But damn, we got them at third down, man. Man, we got them third and eight. We got them third and 12. Damn. They got another first down. They got another first down. And if you see all of a sudden that when the levy broke, you see ocho, it was 17, 24, 30, bam.
CM Punk
Just like that up on you. Just like the 8.
Shannon Sharpe
When the levy. When the levy burst. Yeah, it was over. And there was nothing. There was nothing Minnesota could do. So congratulations to the Detroit Lions. Detroit, stand up. You have a potential super bowl team. They get a week off. I saw Kevin Zeitler, the right. I think that's the guard that ended up tweaking his hamstring. That's probably why Pierce, you see Pierce, hey, we talked about Big Bad getting that interception yesterday. Ojo, you see Big Bad pull that thing up, he's like, nah, that's too far to run. I haven't run that far in 20 years. Ain't no sense. Ain't no sense of me trying to do that now. Ain't no sense that we tried to do it now. Congratulations. Detroit 319 over Minnesota 15 and 2. Detroit, number one seed in the NFC. Minnesota 14 3. Now they had took. They had on the road. They will face the LA Rams, which lost today to Seattle. Had they won, they would have been three seed. They lost. They're the four seed. Tampa is now the three seed. Tampa is the three seed and they'll face who's.
CM Punk
Who.
Shannon Sharpe
Who does Tampa face? Green Bay. No, Tampa face Washington. Green Bay. Green Bay faces the two seed, the Eagles. Oh, yeah.
CM Punk
Ooh, that's gonna be a good one.
Shannon Sharpe
That will be beat. The Commanders Open opening day 3720 if I'm not mistaken. So the Commanders are at home against Tampa Green Bay. Right. That's what I thought. Right. So there we have it. Ocho. There have been multiple teams that have expressed interest in trading for the Vikings head coach Kevin O'Connell, who's in the final year of his contract and has had no extension talks, per Dre Glazer. Multiple teams have had him on their boards. That would be. For me, that seems foolish that Minnesota would trade the guy that's done so much for you over the last couple of years. They missed the playoffs last year because a lot of that had to do with jj Got injured early, got Nick and you remember Cousins towards Achilles.
CM Punk
Yeah.
Shannon Sharpe
The previous year, they went to the playoffs. Last year, they missed the playoff, they had some injuries. This year, 14 and 3, they're back in the playoffs. That seems really, really foolish that you got a young. You got a young head coach that seems to be the right guy for the job and you're willing to trade him for what, draft picks?
CM Punk
I'm not sure.
Shannon Sharpe
I don't. I don't like. I'm not. I'm not. I don't. I don't like it. I don't know what you. Let me hear what you feel about it.
CM Punk
I mean, I. I don't understand what management is doing. I don't understand what ownership is doing. Obviously, you have a coach like that. Obviously, he's getting the most out of his players, a young coach at that, and putting the franchise in a position where they're in contention every year. They're in contention every year. I don't. I don't think. I mean, Minnesota would understand how difficult it is. Ownership would understand how difficult it is to get to the record. They are right now, as far as consistency goes, year in and year out. Obviously, some injuries happened that prevented them from going last year, but it just makes no sense why those talks hadn't been had already. Maybe they. Maybe they are going to take care of him, you know, when the off season hits, but right now, they're allowing Coach O'Connell to focus on. You got your robe on the wrong way.
Shannon Sharpe
Oh, whoa, whoa, whoa. Don't mind me. You keep talking.
CM Punk
Okay. Yeah.
Shannon Sharpe
You worried about what I got by. Rob, it's me.
CM Punk
I know. I'm just saying. But, yeah, I'm assuming they probably want to work on something to allow coach to focus on the rest of the season and trying to get to New Orleans instead of having contract talks in the middle of the playoffs. So hoping. It only makes sense that you take care of a coach that's had the type of success he's had since he's been there.
Shannon Sharpe
Kevin OConnell is in the final year of his contract next season. So he had, he coached this year. So coming up the next season, he got one more. He got one more. He's in the final season.
CM Punk
Oh, so they do. Hey, listen now, now this is, this is new to me. This is new to me. Now you know how players have a year on their deal, so they treat coaches the same way when they have a year left, they could look.
Shannon Sharpe
It's not unknown. John Gruden got traded for two number ones and 8 million in cash from the Raiders to Tampa. Coach Belichick went for number one from the jets to the Patriots, right? Herm Edwards got traded from the jets to the Kansas City. So this is not unprecedented. This is not unchartered territory that we see coach coaches get traded for draft compensation. Sean Payton got traded from New Orleans to the Broncos. He went for a number for a first, a first round draft pick, right? So this is not unchartered territory, but it doesn't make any sense to me considering, you know, Sean Payton, he retired. You know, he was, you know, he retired and so clearly he didn't want to be there. So let's get something for it, right? Alde Tampa, like y'all, y'all want Jon Gruden that bad? Cost you two first round picks at 8 million. The glazier family said they gladly obliged. It paid off. They won a Super bowl, right? Coach Belichick, the greatest trade. The jets got a first round pick for Coach Belichick. I think it worked out for, I think it worked out for the Patriots. Not so well for the jets, but it worked out very well for the Patriots. So they got six championships out of that coach. That's pretty good. Yeah, Coach Herm had some mixed results. He didn't win a championship there, but he had some mixed results. But I think it worked out very well for some of the coaches that got traded for draft compensation. I think everything went accord. Went very well for the team that gave up the draft picks. But it doesn't, but it doesn't, doesn't make sense to me to do it. If the Vikings lose to the Rams next week, they'd be 04 versus the Rams and the Lions this year, 140 against every other team. So they've lost twice to Detroit, right? They've lost one to the Rams, and if they lose again, they'd be 0 and 4 against the Rams and Detroit. So obviously the Rams did not play all their guys today. I think Puka was out, Stafford was out. So there were a couple of guys that did not play today. And so but I was happy for Geno because Gino had a lot of incentives. Oh yeah, 10 wins, $2 million completion percentage. He met that have better stats than he had last year. So he picked up a quick $6 million. I'm happy for Geno.
CM Punk
Yeah.
Shannon Sharpe
Thought he got a bum wrap in New York and the jets, but I'm glad Gino, you found the home. Congratulations, bro. You played really, really well. We all have experience paying extra fees. Like the one time I had a layover in Salt Lake City, they canceled my flight and I had to buy another plane ticket just to make it home.

The Broncos defeated the Chiefs 38, nothing. 38, nothing. Now, here's the thing. Now, last week, now, I tried to tell Ocho, I say, the man that laughs loudest, the man who laughs last laugh loudest. And they said, why you say that? Because he will be the only one laughing. He will be the only one laugh that you'll hear. Don't you love it when a plan come together? Now, last week I didn't ate. I don't want. If your team did not win, I don't want to hear you say foot or ball. So this is what we gonna do right now. If your team is not going to the playoffs, I don't want to hear you say play or offs. And I don't want you to use a word with play or off in it. So you can't say playground. Playtime, playmate. I don't want to hear none of that. I don't want to hear you say PlayStation. I don't want to hear you. I don't want to hear you say french fry. I got to play date. And a matter of fact, I don't want to hear you say playboy cardi. And guess what? You can't say off. I don't hear you say offset. My favorite artist is offset. Don't you mention offset. I don't want you to tell us about the. Hey, can you turn the lights off? Leave them on. I don't want to hear any word come out of your mouth that have play or authentic. Now, you hear me? Don't say playground.
CM Punk
Yeah.
Shannon Sharpe
Don't say I was playing around. Okay, I will hear none of that.
CM Punk
I got you.
Shannon Sharpe
But listen, I don't want to hear none of that. Are you. Are you.
CM Punk
Can I ask you something? Can I ask you something? And this is for everybody that's in the chat that happened to be. They happen to be a Bronco fan. Are you really happy with today's win, despite. With the implications of Are you happy with today's win, despite the implications on what today's win meant?
Shannon Sharpe
What a minute?
CM Punk
Well, hey, hold on. Wait, let me fit. Let me. With the team. With the effort that the Chiefs put out there. The Chiefs didn't even try. They didn't even do it. They didn't even pick nobody.
Shannon Sharpe
Why you confer yourself with somebody else's effort? What about your team effort?
CM Punk
What.
Shannon Sharpe
What about your team's effort in September? What about your team's effort in October? What about your team's effort is in November? You keep saying we got up to that. Slow start. Well, considering you won your last hold on. Consider you won your last five games.
CM Punk
Yeah.
Shannon Sharpe
So you won. So you won nine games total. You won your last five. So what happened in September, October and November that caused y'all to lose? It ain't win but four games.
CM Punk
Well, listen, when it comes to the game of football, it's all about ups and downs. It's all down. Yeah, it's ups and downs. So that's what happened in September and October. That's what happened.
Shannon Sharpe
But what we did November, too. Don't you leave out November.
CM Punk
We wasn't that bad in November. We started winning at the end of November.
Shannon Sharpe
Considering y'all won nine games total, you won your last five. So that means you won every game in December and won in January. So that means in September, October, November, you won a grand total of four games. So you want to. You want to rephrase that?
CM Punk
Okay, listen. You have to understand, we lost some very close games. There was some very close game with some close calls, but where there was a little help on the zebra side, you know? Yeah, yeah. Listen, uncle, you. You watched us all season long.
Shannon Sharpe
Now I watch all season.
CM Punk
Now. Offensively, you know, we started off slow. Defensively, we didn't start playing well until the back half of the season. I'm talking about the back, back half of the season.
Shannon Sharpe
You know, it seemed like the fact all the quarterbacks. The quarterbacks like to get gifts. I got the Bengals. I got them that are. That hefty baton.
CM Punk
What's that?
Shannon Sharpe
Because, you know, you got to clean out your locker tomorrow. I got you some luggage. I got to borrow some luggage. That's this hefty baton to put all this stuff in to make sure they get it from point A to point.
CM Punk
B. Oh, man, you listen, you ain't got to do that because, you know, I got something for you. I got something for you. Since. Since you're talking sporty, right? Since you're talking sporty, run me my money.
Shannon Sharpe
I know that. You ain't mentioned about my money.
CM Punk
I owe you a thousand, right?
Shannon Sharpe
No, no, no, no, no. You owe me a thousand on top of the three you already owe me. How won't you run me my money?
CM Punk
I'm back at 4,000 again.
Shannon Sharpe
Sure is. Okay, you was at three. But you see, I told you. I said, ocho, I don't want to bet you. Listen, I don't want to do this.
CM Punk
Ocho, I'm going to give you money. I'm going to give you money. Where you want me to give it to you at? You want me sell it to you? I can sell it to you right now.
Shannon Sharpe
No, don't. No, no, no, no, no, no, no.
CM Punk
I can sell it to you. As a matter of fact, no, I want to pay my debt.
Shannon Sharpe
You gonna let me talk? Ocho, it's my turn now. I want $4,000, right? $4,000.
CM Punk
How you want it.
Shannon Sharpe
Buffalo Nickels, Rodney Thong and Buffalo nickels. Hey. Huh?
CM Punk
How you want it, man? Come on, man, for real.
Shannon Sharpe
I want buffalo nickels.
CM Punk
I don't. I don't know what no buffalo nickels is.
Shannon Sharpe
Don't worry about it. That's not your job. Go to the bank, go to the cashier and say you like $4,000 in buffalo nickels.
CM Punk
Is there a such thing?

Whoa.

I've never heard of anything called buffalo nickels. That's not a currency. That's not a currency here in the States. Can I please, Giselle your money so I ain't got to hear nothing about it no more?
Shannon Sharpe
Teddy says no. Teddy Bear says no. You cannot sell me my money, or you give me $4,000 in wheat pennies. Who $4,000 in wheat pennIes.
CM Punk
What's a wheat penny?
Shannon Sharpe
Whoa, whoa, whoa. You know what? What I'm noticing is you asking a lot of questions.
CM Punk
Well, I'm writing nothing down. I'm asking a lot of questions because down here in Miami, at Bank of America, at Chase, at Navy Federal, we don't know nothing about no wheat pennies. We don't know nothing about no buffalo nickels. I've never heard of these phrases before.
Shannon Sharpe
I want buffalo nickels. And I told you, I don't have cash app, so you can't zelle me.
CM Punk
I didn't even mention cash app. Everybody has zelle.
Shannon Sharpe
I don't have zelle.
CM Punk
You have an iPhone, don't you?
Shannon Sharpe
Yes.
CM Punk
Okay, you got Apple Pay. I got Apple Pay. It to you, then.
Shannon Sharpe
I don't got no Apple Pay. I got Ocho pay. Now run me my money.
CM Punk
I'm trying to pay.
Shannon Sharpe
You keep on talking about what you got and all this right here. But first of all. First of all, why you talking.
CM Punk
Because you asked me questions.
Shannon Sharpe
You asked me your ass down before I make change. Listen, listen, please. I said, ocho, get up off me. I was down last week. I said, ocho, come on, Ocho, you got me. Don't you say foot. As a matter of fact, don't even make reference to a ball. I don't know what he used to say. Soccer. I don't want to hear you say basket, because they use. I said, come on, Ocho, man. Nah. So now, boy, look here.
CM Punk
But listen. You know, you're a little too happy now. You very, very happy. You know who y'all got to play in the first round? Huh?
Shannon Sharpe
I tell you, hey, you know who.
CM Punk
Y'All gotta play in the first round, right? So I'll make sure on next week's episode when I bring some trash bags in here. When I bring. And we break it down. Cancun on three. One, two, three. Cancun. I don't want to hear nothing for the chat.
Shannon Sharpe
I want you to say what you just said. You say, oh, do you know who y'all play next week? Right? I want you to die. I want to know, Ocho, who do the Bengals play next week?
CM Punk
Oh, so you happy? You happy we went home? Hold on. Hold on.
Shannon Sharpe
You think I take great pleasure in this?
CM Punk
Let me. Let me ask you something. Let me ask you something. And it's for the people in the. If you are Bronco fan, are you that happy that we got a vacation a week earlier than you? That's it. That's all it is. We got a vacation a week earlier than you because you're gonna be home next week, too. And I'm gonna help you pack. I'm gonna help you pack.
Shannon Sharpe
What you got?
CM Punk
Hey, hey, listen. Hey, listen. Hey. One. Hey, that's that boy right there, man.
Shannon Sharpe
No, no. Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa. Why are you talking about my team?
CM Punk
That's that one. Now, I'm not talking about your team. I'm talking about the individual that happened to play for your team. That's what I talk about, the individuals that happens to play for your team. Yeah.
Shannon Sharpe
I can't believe this, man. Talking about somebody that plays in the blue and orange.
CM Punk
No, no, no, no, no, no. As a matter of fact, I'm embarrassed.
Shannon Sharpe
That your team has orange in their colors.
CM Punk
Hey, Don.
Shannon Sharpe
Disgusting. George, bring me a glass of laportier glasses and some of that old shake off the counter.
CM Punk
What you going to celebrate? Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa. I'm just saying it's going to be. It's going to be a short celebration. I don't know why you celebrating. Can I ask you a question? Can I ask you a question? Do you know who you guys are playing in the first round next week?
Shannon Sharpe
Who y'all not.
CM Punk
Okay, I understand that you scared to say the name.
Shannon Sharpe
I know. We play Buffalo.
CM Punk
Ok. Ok. You know where y'all playing at in Buffalo?
Shannon Sharpe
Amway Stadium or whatever I think that's the name of.
CM Punk
Okay, I'm just making sure you know what Josh Allen finna do to y'all. He finna send you home packing.
Shannon Sharpe
Okay.
CM Punk
He finna send you home packing.
Shannon Sharpe
How that make.
CM Punk
How that make you feel? So you get. Listen, you getting all hyped. You happy, but you're getting ready to go home. Anyway, next week, all that's gonna be in Cancun.
Shannon Sharpe
Okay, Ocho, we gonna get back to this. We got a very special guest joining us right now. We got a very special guest joining us. There he goes. Tomorrow on Netflix, he places Seth Rollins, WWE Raw on Netflix. CM Punk. Cm. What it do Mind me? Cm I got a little celebration. I got a little celebration going. I'm celebrating you. I'm celebrating me.
Ryan Seacrest
I'm drinking my sparkling water for both of you gentlemen. How you guys doing tonight?
Shannon Sharpe
CM I'm doing much better than my partner.
CM Punk
I'm not feeling good. Cm. My bangles are going home. My bangles are going home. Unc is making fun of me. He's embarrassing me in front of people I love in the chat.
Shannon Sharpe
Other than.
CM Punk
I'm trying to find a way to get over it. I'm trying to find ways to get around the fact that not only did we lose, you know, the Chiefs didn't even try today. They didn't even pinch the Broncos. You know, they didn't fight. They didn't. They just laid down. They laid down. So I have, I have no way to actually, to fight for myself. I'm doing everything I can not to cry tonight. So far, I'm doing okay.
Ryan Seacrest
Keep your head above water. If I could give you any bit of advice, I. This is coming from a Chicago sports fan. Bears, Cubs. There's always next year, Chad. There's always next year.
CM Punk
I like that. I'll take that.
Shannon Sharpe
That's what I was going to get. Your Bears did something that hadn't been done since 2018. They beat the Green Bay Packers. It was the final game of the season, but it showed. Hopefully it gave you hope, showed you what could potentially be for your Chicago Bears.
Ryan Seacrest
Hope is, is a four letter word in, in Chicago sports. There was hope at the beginning of the season. I, I just am comforted in the fact that I can at least make fun of the Green Bay packers and their fans for losing to this bear squad. That's the hope. That's the, that's the silver lining in the Bears game today.
Shannon Sharpe
So you have tell us a little bit about tomorrow's match. WWE Raw on Netflix. You're battling Seth Rollins. Now, this is a, this is a beef that you guys have had brewing for an extended period of time.
Ryan Seacrest
Yeah.
Shannon Sharpe
Are we going to settle this tomorrow?
Ryan Seacrest
I would love to say yes, but for some reason, there's a lot of guys in the wrestling business that have these abandonment issues when it comes to me. Like, I don't Know, if they didn't have, like, a real strong father figure or whatever. But, no, I would love to say I'm moving on to bigger and better things. I would love to be wrong about that, too. But I think this is, this is one of those, this is one of those Hogan Savage deals that's going to just go on for as long as the beef has already been festering, you know, 10 plus years. We're talking a decade here. I don't, I don't think even as big a night as debut on Netflix, and then no matter how bright the lights are, I think this one's going to fester for a while.
Shannon Sharpe
So what would, what would be your message to Rollins and his fans coming in tomorrow's, Tomorrow's match? What, what's your message? What do you, what, what do you want to say to him? If he's listening right now? I know some of his fans are, but if he was listening right now, what would you tell him?
Ryan Seacrest
I'd say the same thing I just said to Mr. Ocho Cinco. You know, there's always next year. You know, cry, cry, cry about it. You know, I, I get it. But, you know, tomorrow's not your night, right?
Shannon Sharpe
Oh, man, if, Let me ask you this. And if you win tomorrow, do you have your eyes set on Wrestlemania?
Ryan Seacrest
I got my eyes set on WrestleMania, yeah. But that's, that's a couple months away. The next step after I beat Rollins, tomorrow's World Rumble, you know, like, okay, you know, we don't got no off season here. It's just constantly, go, go, go. I got some stuff to prove still. You know, I got hurt last year's Rumble, so I'm still looking to come back and get a W in that, in that one.
Shannon Sharpe
Let me ask you this. You own, like, the Bears. You were on Netflix special when they had the Christmas Day game, and you were very outspoken about your Bears ownership. You like, bro, y'all need to sell the team. Cause this is, this is, this has been terrible for a long time. And it's been a long time coming, given what you saw today. They beat the packers for the first time in five or five years. Does that give you hope that they're trending in the right direction, that they have the right pieces in place, even if they don't have a coach currently?
Ryan Seacrest
Yeah, you know, I, I, I think the coach is obviously a big part of it. Unless they're going to field the team with no coach, which might be kind of interesting at this point, because, you know, we had Lovey Smith, great coach, right? Super, super elite Dynamic.
Shannon Sharpe
Went 10 and 6 and got fired. Yeah.
Ryan Seacrest
And he couldn't figure it out, you know, so after a while, listen, this is. I was born and raised in Chicago, 80. I could sing you the super bowl shuffle backwards. You know what I mean? That I look back at it and historically, everything I know now I look at that team and I'm like, that should have been the dynasty. Buddy, Ryan, Ditka, like all those players, like when we only won one, and it just feels like as a Chicago sports fan, you get that one and then it just feels like another hundred years of pain because you're just like, well, we. We won then, you know, cubs, Cubs fans, 100, 108 years. And now all of a sudden, it's just like, oh, well, you had Jordan film.
Shannon Sharpe
You had Jordan for years.
Ryan Seacrest
Yeah, but that's. To me, that's the standard of being a Chicago sports fan, brother. Like, yeah, yeah, 100%. We expect and we demand greatness. You know, we get these generational players, these generational talents and stuff like that. I can only look at the management and the ownership after a while when all these pieces are in place and nothing works. You know, after a while, looking at the McCaskeys and I'm hearing chatter about, oh, we need a new stadium, you know, because the city owned Soldier Field and we're not getting concession money. And after a while, I'm just like, okay, you just. You just. Greedy owner. And you don't care about winning. Sports fans all across the world, no matter where you at, whatever city you're in, you rep that city, you love that city, you show out to that city. You want winners, and that's the bottom line. I need a. I need an owner who's going to field a team of winners.
Shannon Sharpe
You mentioned that you got injured. You sustained an injury last year. If you don't mind, reflect on that injury. What happened and what's the worst injury that you have sustained in your professional wrestling career?
Ryan Seacrest
Oh, man, this one was. I think this one was pretty bad just because of, you know, my age and everything. And I tore my right tricep tendon completely off the bone.
Shannon Sharpe
Okay.
Ryan Seacrest
And that's a bad one, especially, I think, in football. That's normally a career ender, if I'm not mistaken.
Shannon Sharpe
No, it's not a career, but it's normally seasoning Indy.
Ryan Seacrest
Okay. Yeah, the season, my season definitely ended that day. That's. That's for certain. I. I had a. I had a night where I woe. Was me. And I. I cried about it and I was upset. I just come back to the WWE after 10 years of being gone and was looking forward to doing a, you know, just awesome, awesome stuff. And it came to a screeching halt, you know, and as an athlete who's somebody who's active every day, you guys know if you can't. If you can't play, if you can't do what you do, if you can't go to the gym, you lose your mind. And I, man, I lost my mind. I felt bad about it for about eight minutes, had a cry, and then realized that at that moment, it felt like the worst thing that had ever happened to me. So I wanted to do the impossible and flip it and make it the best thing that ever happened to me. You know, I think we did that over the year. Fortunately for me, you know, in the sport and the business we're in, we don't always have to be a hundred percent. And I was injured. Not a swing. And I was in the ring, I was talking my mess, cutting promos and stuff like that, and I was still able to contribute. So that was like a weight off my shoulders.
Shannon Sharpe
When you sustained that injury, did you know something right away was wrong?
Ryan Seacrest
Oh, yeah. Oh, yeah. I don't know if you've ever done a tricep, but it just feels like a rubber band. And your elbow snaps. Okay, I've done my left one. No pain in that one. They did the right one. It hurt like a son of a. And I don't know why. I don't know what the difference was between the two. But, yeah, I knew. I knew I was. I knew I was out immediately.
Shannon Sharpe
Can I ask you this? What can we expect from the WWE on Netflix as opposed to cable?
Ryan Seacrest
I don't know. We're all going to find out together. I think, personally, the format of the show is going to be a little bit different. I think people are asking questions about commercials. You know, obviously on cable we gotta, you know, we have a lot of feed, gotta pay, gotta pay the beast, I like to say. And that's gonna be the same on Netflix, but I think it's also gonna be different. I think you're gonna see stretches where you're getting the first hour, maybe the first 90 minutes commercial free.
Shannon Sharpe
Okay.
Ryan Seacrest
And I don't know if it's gonna be picture in picture. These are questions for people in a production truck. But I just know because Netflix is streaming and it's not cable, we're not gonna be kind of up against you're.
Shannon Sharpe
Not bound by the same standards on.
Ryan Seacrest
Cable, especially service, especially like time constraints. You know, that's like the biggest difference between wrestling for just an audience or wrestling for television. Like, you got to know when your breaks are, how long the breaks are, how much time you got left in a show when it's dropped dead, if you got an extra two, five minute overrun, you know, because there's another show after yours, you know, so it's not like football where it's just like, hey, we're, we're continuing this until the last whistle, until this game is over. Or even then you're getting the crawler saying, hey, we're on FS1, you know, we're switching over to FS2 because this other game's bumping us and stuff like that. So there's, there's definitely some stuff that we're gonna be working out as we go. But I like, I love that, I love that live TV chaos, anything can happen and anything go wrong atmosphere.
Shannon Sharpe
You know what? Go ahead, Ocho.
CM Punk
I have a question. Obviously, being a wrestling fan from young, even still to this day, is there a dream match that you have, Is there a dream match that you have involving a legend from either the past or currently today that you haven't had or you would like to have?
Ryan Seacrest
Yeah, I mean, I think everybody, when they ask me that question or when they hear somebody ask me that question, one name always comes to mind. It's Stone Cold Steve Austin. You know, I, unfortunately he had to retire because of like injuries and he had a stroke and everything like that. But Bret Hart's another one. Bret Hart would be a dream for me because that's a guy that I looked up to when I was a kid. That's a guy that helped get me into this sport just from an interest perspective. And that's a guy to this day. I could text Brett right now and be like, what's up, Bretzky? I have a question. I need some advice. And let me hit me back up like right away. So much love to him, gotta mention him. And there's just, I think we have a pretty wealthy locker room when it comes to talent right now. So there's, there's a, there's a lot of people that I would love, I love to get in there with, with Gunther. He's the champ on raw. Love to mix it up with my boy Cody. But as far as the Legends go, the ones that probably aren't going to happen, but their dream matches, Austin's up there with Austin's number one with the bullets.
CM Punk
That's dope.
Shannon Sharpe
Sam, did you always want to be a wrestler? Did you, did you, did you play sports growing up? Did you know, watching this, like, this is the direction that I want to go, and I want to be in this sport.
Ryan Seacrest
Yeah, I, I played baseball when I, I, I tried out for my football and wrestling team when I was in high school, but they told me I had to cut my hair. And I, I, I, I peaced out after that. I was like. And now I, and now I look in every jock in the world. Just got like a wild mohawk. And I'm like, that was me when I was 14. Like, why wouldn't you let me? Heck, I didn't. I, I grew up, I like to say I was economically challenged, you know, so, like, most of the, most of the sports were pretty expensive. Couldn't play hockey because I couldn't afford skates or pads or sticks. Baseball was, was pretty cheap. And then everything, I was a catcher. Everything changed for me when I had to get glasses. The, the, the mask wouldn't fit over my, my Coke bottle glasses. And my parents wouldn't spend the money for contacts. So my, my baseball career was cut short.
Shannon Sharpe
Wow. WrestleMania 41 is in Las Vegas. You say Raw is after the Netflix special that you have with Cody, with Rollins. So that's a dad's name all the time too.
Ryan Seacrest
Don't worry about it. Big man. He sounds good.
Shannon Sharpe
Seth, let me ask you this because, like, a lot of times we see these big matches, but there are other matches in between that you're wrestling. So how do you prepare? How do you like. Because you're traveling at least 200, I'm assuming, 200 plus days a year, correct?
Ryan Seacrest
Yeah, yeah. It definitely used to be back in the day. Now things have changed, you know, and things have changed because of these big TV deals, you know, this big Netflix deal. The, the money that was in wrestling used to be kind of driven by live events. So we would do a TV on a Monday, but I'd be on the road Friday, Saturday, Sunday. We would record Smackdown on a Tuesday. So I would be on the road five days a week, six days a week. And that's on top of all the press and everything else you're doing nowadays. It's a lot less. I think it's better, I think it's better for all the athletes. But you wind up, I think, missing out on those live shows where you're just wrestling for fans. You're not necessarily wrestling for tv. You do build up a Callus, you know, and we're kind of missing that right now. At least I know I am. I just, we just did a Christmas loop most recently over the holidays, where, you know, I was on the, I was at, in Pittsburgh doing the Netflix thing for the football game.
Shannon Sharpe
Yes.
Ryan Seacrest
And then we went to Madison Square Garden, went back to Pittsburgh, went to Baltimore, cut over to Chicago and then down to Houston for TV and like that, that is my bread and butter. Being on the road, hanging out with the boys, getting to interact with fans. You just have a lot, I don't want to say more fun, because TV can be fun, but TV is more of a high pressure, you know, situation.
Shannon Sharpe
Cm, would you say that this, the wrestling now is more conducive for a family as opposed to was in the past when you had to do all that traveling and you got a wife or you got a significant other or you got kids? This world we live in now, you live in now is more conducive for a family.
Ryan Seacrest
Oh, 100% if, if you're an active wrestler. Yeah, I used to be on the road and it was, I, I looked at it like it was easy for me because it's still a challenge. But I was young and I was single. I didn't have any kids. I felt like I didn't have any responsibilities. I bought a house. I was just never in it. I lock it and leave it, you know what I mean? And then I could stay, you know, if we had a loop that ended in San Francisco and the next one started in la, I would stay in California.
Shannon Sharpe
You right?
Ryan Seacrest
Guys who had marriages and kids, I, I, I don't know how they did it, and a lot of them didn't, because we look at the wreckage of the past and, like, we see a lot of, a lot of broken marriages and, you know, alienated kids and stuff like that, you know. But today is much more conducive for, like, a family unit.
CM Punk
If, when it's all said and done and you eventually retire, you hang it up, where do you see yourself training the next generation? Working behind the scene, like Triple H or maybe starting your own promotion? What do you think?
Ryan Seacrest
Oh, no, if I start my own promotion, I want you to find me wherever I am and just kick my ass. That's about the worst idea, man. No, I do think there's an avenue for me to continue to be in the business behind the scenes, helping, but I think if you're worth your weight, you're doing that now. You know, I think on, on a football team, on a hockey team, on a baseball team, there's the veterans that help bring in the new talent, the young guys, right, and they help, you know, move things along. But three parts to a career, right? There's you start and to me, that's when you, you learn. There's the middle part, that's where you earn. And the third part is return. Now you give back. So I would definitely look forward to that third act. And giving back to the business to me has given me so much.
Shannon Sharpe
CM, we want to thank you. Tomorrow marks the premiere WWE Raw on Netflix. Catch all the action at 8:00pm Eastern. CM Punk, thank you for joining Nightcap. We greatly appreciate that, man. Good luck. Now when we tune in and we talk to you in a couple, in a couple of months now, we want to make sure that you've done what you say you're going to do. Like you going to take care of business.
Ryan Seacrest
I promise you, I promise you, brother, 100%. Yeah. I'm walking into the, into a dome tomorrow night and I'm walking out of winning and I'm going to have myself a big steak afterwards after kicking Seth Rollins's ass. It's going to be fun.
CM Punk
And let me tell you, if at any point you need a partner tag team at that, that I'm always available.
Ryan Seacrest
Let's go. As long as your Last name's not McCaskey, you're my huckleberry.
CM Punk
All right, I got you. I got you.
Ryan Seacrest
Appreciate you guys. Thank you.
CM Punk
Yeah, thank you, V.M.
Shannon Sharpe
Thank you, bro. Appreciate it. Good luck tomorrow.
Ryan Seacrest

CM Punk
I'm not. I'm not a conspiracy theorist, but I don't know why I feel like the Chiefs purposely didn't try and win that game because they didn't want to face the Bengals.
Shannon Sharpe
I really think that if the Bengals wanted to be in the playoffs, win more games in September, win games in October, win games in November, they up there talking. There are a lot of teams rooting for against us. So I want to know, Bengals fans, Bengals players, were you rooting for or against the Broncos? Were you rooting for or against the Dolphins? So in other words, teams rooting against y'all, what were y'all doing today? Were y'all cheering for them? Did y'all want the Broncos to win or y'all want the Broncos to lose? So you rooting against the team? Did you want the Dolphins to win or do you wanted the Dolphins to lose?
CM Punk
So you was rooting who won the game, the Dolphins or the Jets?
Shannon Sharpe
The jets won.
CM Punk
Okay. I told you the jets were going to win. The Chiefs and I told you the Chiefs purposely.
Shannon Sharpe
I told you Broncos.
CM Punk
The Chiefs purposely did this to sabotage us having the opportunity to go. Now it is our fault. Our sabotage is our destiny. Should have been in our own hands, and we shouldn't be having to rely on another team to win to allow us to get to where we need to get to. Now that's our fault.
Shannon Sharpe
Y'all wishing on another man's downfall. Oh, boo. Bo. 26 or 29? 321. Both, tubs? Both.
CM Punk
Yes.
Shannon Sharpe
Sutton. 5, 96, 47 and long 47. Touchdown. Marvin Mills Jr. 5 for 51. Two doves. D. Vale caught that rookie shake. 4 for 50. Javante Williams. 3 for 50. We did a number on y'all, and we ran it 43 times for a buck 58.
CM Punk
The Chiefs didn't even try.
Shannon Sharpe
Whoa. Why you. Why you.
CM Punk
I'm just saying.
Shannon Sharpe
I hate when somebody else measured. What did you guys do? Why were you hoping for the Chief? I ain't never. I. I don't root for no other team if I'm on a team.
CM Punk
Oh, I. I didn't say I was rooting for anybody. I just said who was supposed to win the game. They didn't even try.
Shannon Sharpe
Did y'all try to win the game against the Patriots? The first game of the season?
CM Punk
Yeah. The 22 players that played for the Chiefs today ought to be ashamed of themselves. And when they watch film. When they watch film, and you look at the name on the back of that jersey and you look at the abysmal effort and output you put out today, you got zero points. Zero points in an NFL game. We supposed to be the best of the best in the world.
Shannon Sharpe
Y'all.
CM Punk
Not embarrassing.
Shannon Sharpe
All I know is The Broncos won 10 games. They earned the right to be in the playoffs. Y'all didn't win 10 games. Y'all don't deserve to be in the playoffs. That's all I'm saying. Ocho, I ain't bad at you or nothing like that.
CM Punk
What happened when we played your Broncos?
Shannon Sharpe
It didn't matter.
CM Punk
I'm asking you what happened when we played your Broncos.
Shannon Sharpe
Y'all won.
CM Punk
Okay. Just making sure.
Shannon Sharpe
Won the battle, lost the war.
CM Punk
I'm. I'm just making sure.
Shannon Sharpe
Let that sink in. Y'all got a guy that led the league. Y'all let. Gotta had a guy lead the league in touchdown passes and yards. Had a lead when the guy won the Triple Crown and home for the first time in history. Don't run. Tell that in history. A Triple Con winner is at home.
CM Punk
Guess where y'all gonna be next week.
Shannon Sharpe
I don't know about no next week. I ain't promised next week. I'm talking about right now.
CM Punk
I'm gonna let you have your moment. I know you.
Shannon Sharpe
You're being quite hostile. Ocho, you're scaring me. I'm really scared right now. Oh, my gosh.
CM Punk
Hey, I'm just saying. I'm just saying I want you. You. You enjoy your moment. No. No disrespect to anybody in the chat that's a Broncos fan. You know how I feel about you. I tell you all the time, I love you regardless of what team you cheer for, regardless of what team you root for. I will always love you and always have been very respectful, never malicious. This is all great fun, you know, in competition for the team that I believe in and played for.
Shannon Sharpe
I'm afraid. I'm really afraid, Ocho. I'm really afraid right now.
CM Punk
You're scared.
Shannon Sharpe
Me. Calm down, William. Just calm down, okay?
CM Punk
In no way am I not that serious, buddy.
Shannon Sharpe
You know, I'm really. I'm being serious. I'm really a nice guy, but you're scaring me, okay? Just pay me my money. Just pay me what you owe me.
CM Punk
I tried.
Chad Ocho Cinco
You owe me my money.
Shannon Sharpe
I bet you had I lost.
CM Punk
I would have paid you, actually, if I had lost.
Shannon Sharpe
If.
CM Punk
I mean, if you had lost, I would have said, oh, you know what? Just zell me half. You ain't got to send me the whole thing.
Shannon Sharpe
Guess what? That's something you won't have to say because I didn't lose. So you have to say, uncle, tell me. Run me mine now. I want 4,000 in traveler's check. I want 4,000 in WIC vouchers. I want 4,000 in buffalo nickels. I want my money. The volume.

Club Shay Shay - Nightcap Episode Summary Release Date: January 6, 2025
Hosts:
[04:10] Shannnon Sharpe opens the episode by celebrating the Detroit Lions' decisive 31-9 victory over the Minnesota Vikings, which clinched the #1 seed in the NFC. Shannon emphasizes the team's resilience despite injuries, highlighting their dominance on both offense and defense.
"After the Lions sew up the number one seed in the NFC with a 31-9 victory over the Minnesota Vikings, they secure home-field advantage throughout the playoffs." [04:11]
The hosts delve into the game's specifics, analyzing key player performances:
Jameer Gibbs: Shannon praises Gibbs for his outstanding performance with 23 carries for 139 yards and 3 touchdowns, plus a receiving touchdown, showcasing his versatility.
"Jameer Gibbs ran wild. 23 carries, 139 yards, three touchdowns." [07:19]
Jared Goff: Despite turnovers and a subpar performance (27 completions on 33 attempts for 231 yards, 1 TD, 2 INTs), Goff delivered crucial plays when needed.
"Jared Goff didn't play his best game. He turned the ball over." [07:19]
Detroit Defense: The defensive unit, led by returning star Anazoni, effectively limited the Vikings' high-powered offense and pressured quarterback Sam Darnold severely.
"They did a great job of limiting Jefferson and harassing Sam Darnold all night." [09:05]
Shannon commends Coach Dan Campbell for fostering a no-excuses culture, leading to the team's improved performance and playoff positioning.
"That team looks like an improved team. This looks like a team that's hungry. They have something to prove." [11:13]
The conversation shifts to the Minnesota Vikings' head coach, Kevin O'Connell, who is in the final year of his contract. Shannon questions the rumors of multiple teams expressing interest in trading O'Connell, considering his contributions to the team's recent successes.
"It seems foolish that Minnesota would trade the guy that's done so much for you over the last couple of years." [15:09]
CM Punk echoes Shannon's sentiment, expressing confusion over the management's potential decision to trade a young and effective coach.
"I don't understand what management is doing. You have a coach who's putting the franchise in contention every year." [16:16]
Shannon provides historical context, noting that coaching trades are not unprecedented in the NFL, citing examples like John Gruden and Bill Belichick.
"This is not uncharted territory, but it doesn't make any sense to me considering their recent performance." [18:00]
The episode takes a playful turn as CM Punk joins Shannon and Chad, leading to humorous and lighthearted banter about debts and payments.
Shannon initiates a mock confrontation, demanding $4,000 from Punk in various unconventional forms of currency, such as "buffalo nickels" and "traveler's checks." Despite Punk's attempts to comply using modern payment methods like Apple Pay and Venmo, Shannon insists on traditional forms, adding a comedic layer to the discussion.
Shannon Sharpe: "I want 4,000 in buffalo nickels. I don't know how many bitcoins I could get with 4k, but I want 4k in Bitcoin." [64:36]
CM Punk: "You can't do that. I don't deal with digital currency." [64:37]
The interaction highlights the hosts' chemistry and ability to engage in entertaining dialogues beyond sports analysis.
Transitioning from NFL discussions, CM Punk shares insights into his wrestling career, upcoming matches, and personal experiences:
Upcoming Match: Punk discusses his anticipated match against Seth Rollins on Netflix's WWE Raw, expressing excitement and determination to win.
"I'm walking into a dome tomorrow night and I'm walking out of winning and I'm going to have myself a big steak afterwards after kicking Seth Rollins's ass." [51:56]
Injury Reflection: He reflects on a significant injury—torn right tricep tendon—and how it impacted his career, emphasizing resilience and adaptation.
"I tore my right tricep tendon completely off the bone. It was a bad one, especially considering my age." [41:17]
Future Plans: Punk contemplates his post-wrestling career, expressing interest in mentoring the next generation and contributing behind the scenes.
"I would definitely look forward to that third act and giving back to the business." [50:33]
Shannon and Punk draw parallels between wrestling and sports, discussing the demands of constant performances and maintaining peak condition, highlighting the pressures athletes face in both arenas.
"Wrestling now is more conducive for a family as opposed to the past when you had to do all that traveling and you got a significant other or kids." [49:31]
As the episode wraps up, Shannon reiterates the Lions' triumph and sets the stage for future discussions, while CM Punk leaves with a promise to honor his commitments in the upcoming wrestling match.
"Congratulations to the Detroit Lions. Detroit, stand up. You have a potential Super Bowl team." [07:19]
"CM Punk, thank you for joining Nightcap. Good luck tomorrow." [51:35]
Shannon Sharpe: "When it matters, can you beat 15 and 2? You have to play your best in order to advance." [12:21]
CM Punk: "There's always next year. I'll take that." [35:56]
Shannon Sharpe: "Y'all got a guy that led the league. Y'all let... tell that in history. A Triple Crown winner is at home." [74:14]
This episode of Club Shay Shay's Nightcap masterfully blends in-depth sports analysis with engaging guest interactions. Shannon Sharpe and Chad Ocho Cinco provide valuable insights into the NFL playoffs, while the dynamic with CM Punk adds a layer of entertainment and cross-sport dialogue. Listeners are treated to a comprehensive discussion that balances expertise with humor, making it accessible and enjoyable even for those who haven't listened to the episode.
