Seth Rollins has qualified for the money in the bank ladder match. But at what cost? We have more strife within the judgment day and possibly more than we even know. Liv Morgan is back. Burt Kreischer is on the show today. Welcome to WWE RAW recap brought to you by fanatics. Megan Morant. Welcome. Welcome back to the basement for another Raw recap.
Bert Kreischer
Do it.
Kaley Cuoco
Let's do it.
Seth Rollins
Let's dive in.
Kaley Cuoco
You know, I love. I love elements. I love elements of all kinds. I used to. You know what my favorite thing in school was? That periodic table full of elements.
Seth Rollins
What's your favorite periodic element?
Kaley Cuoco
Bramble. Is that one bramble? I think bramble hydrogen is a good one.
Seth Rollins
All right.
Kaley Cuoco
Right, right. Listen, I'm talking about gold G. Go. No. You know why starts with a G? What's the A for? I don't understand. I love story, storyline, elements. I love the fact that the main event of Raw just had everything going on. Right. I love. Here's what I really love. Consequences to people's actions. And I felt like when you get three elements in the ring like Finn Balor, Sami Zayn and Seth Rollins, you have this in any era. Astronomical triple threat match. Right. This is the stuff that. I mean, imagine those three wrestlers, if you had said 10 years ago, would be main evented. We just take it for granted now. That's how spoiled we are.
Seth Rollins
It's just a typical Monday.
Kaley Cuoco
It's just Monday. But 10 years ago, if you had said that those three by different names, we're going to be main eventing Monday Night Raw in a triple threat that was like, you know, the, the. The. The greatest. I mean, it was. It was the best three wrestlers in the world, and we just get to see him now. What I love is not only when those three names are put in the ring do we get this triple threat. But in the wwe, when you are a superstar on that level, you've got actions, and actions have consequences. You have stories, you have enemies, you have just all this stuff happening. And I feel like it all exploded at the end of Monday Night Raw. Right.
Seth Rollins
Had a lot of colliding.
Kaley Cuoco
Lot of what? Yeah, there was a lot of colliding.
Bert Kreischer
Yeah.
Kaley Cuoco
Okay, so.
Seth Rollins
So not just physically.
Kaley Cuoco
Right.
Seth Rollins
But the stories as well.
Kaley Cuoco
Right, right. Going in where one you wouldn't think had anything to do with the other one, but nothing exists in a bubble.
Seth Rollins
What do we always say?
Kaley Cuoco
Everything's interweaving, Everything counts.
Bert Kreischer
Right.
Kaley Cuoco
Everything counts. Now, of course, we're coming off of Saturday night's main event. Right. And I would say the biggest news in this, what some would call a Paul Heyman faction. I call, by the way. Go ahead.
Seth Rollins
Did you notice? And I mean, this is. Speaking of everything counts, Paul Heyman's hair looked a little grayer.
Bert Kreischer
Did it?
Seth Rollins
I mean, is the stress getting to him?
Kaley Cuoco
People are wondering or maybe he's just busy.
Seth Rollins
Could be busy, could be time to tan.
Kaley Cuoco
But it is at least something worth watching.
Seth Rollins
I wrote that down in my notebook. Paul's hair a little gray.
Kaley Cuoco
I mean, either he's gonna watch this going, megan, you caught something, or oh, no, I have to. Oh, no, Megan, you're making me feel self conscious. So we're coming off of what I think is the biggest thing to happen to that group, which I think is a Seth Rollins faction, not a Paul Heyman faction.
Seth Rollins
I would agree with you.
Kaley Cuoco
Since the formation on the Monday night after WrestleMania, which is what happened at Saturday night's main event, a new addition to the group, Bronson Reed, joined Seth Rollins, Bron Breaker, and Paul left me.
Seth Rollins
Very confused on Saturday night.
Kaley Cuoco
Sure.
Seth Rollins
I said, why the heck would Bronson join Seth? Bronson is the one who took out Seth. Make it make sense. And I have to be honest with you.
Kaley Cuoco
Go ahead.
Seth Rollins
I was kind of mad.
Kaley Cuoco
Are you still mad?
Seth Rollins
No, I'm not mad.
Kaley Cuoco
I mean, have they made it made sense?
Seth Rollins
They did make it make sense.
Kaley Cuoco
Did they?
Seth Rollins
A little Bit, you know what I mean? I mean, Seth pointed out the destruction that Bronson Reed can cause, and now he has that in his back pocket.
Kaley Cuoco
Okay, well, this is what I noticed. Paul pointed out the destruction that Bronson caused in Seth's life. I felt like there was not like maybe Seth didn't love the amount of time that Paul Heyman spent emphasizing, hey, remember how bad this guy hurt you? Hey, remember how dangerous this guy is? Remember how much power this guy has over you? I saw it as, who knows Bronson Reed better than Seth Rollins? If we're following the story the way we're meant to be following the story by Seth Rollins words, this is about the future of the industry and who are the best people to be there to make the industry even bigger in the future than it is now. And Seth has said. I mean, he hasn't implied. He has straight up said, I'm the one who has to do this. If not me, then who? Bron Breakker has clearly sipped on that Kool Aid and believes it. And it would appear that Bronson Reed has, too. I read it as. I mean, it's a tale as old as time in wrestling. We just happen to be seeing it be played out in front of our eyes now on television that people like Bron Breaker and Bronson Reed and who knows if there's going to be anybody next looks at Seth and looks at Paul Heyman and goes, they're right. Seth is going to be the future of this thing. They're right. They are going to be in control of this thing. So you make a choice. You either fight city hall or you go. You know what? Once we get to the top of the mountain, we'll figure it all out then. But I feel like this is the elevator ride up and everybody else is taking the stairs.
Seth Rollins
We just join them.
Kaley Cuoco
Just join them. It's business after all. Oh, but you don't get along with Seth Rollins. It's not show friends, it's show business. So this triple threat is made, right? And as Seth notice.
Seth Rollins
Sorry, you notice that Paul referred to Seth as the most generous man I have ever met.
Kaley Cuoco
Okay, no, I didn't notice that, but that's interesting. Roman Reigns not known for his generosity. The Beast not known for his generosity. I mean, CM Punk doesn't seem. Not generous. No, it seems like CM Punk, if you're his friend, he treats you well. If you are not his friend, look out. Maybe less the generous, but he seems generous to his friends.
Seth Rollins
Met a lot of people to say that Seth is the most Generous man he's ever met.
Kaley Cuoco
Yeah, I mean the whole Samoan family. He managed the Samoan SWAT team. He had the whole dangerous alliance. Beautiful Bobby, you tell me Bobby Eaton wasn't dangerous. I mean was it wasn't generous. I guess it wasn't called a generous alliance. It was the dangerous alliance. Yeah, that is, that is interesting. And that's Paul Heyman also believing the Seth Rollins Kool Aid. Usually the shoe is on the other foot that I guess to the people involved in that group, this really is about that future. And to the people outside of the group, they see it as a ego mission where one guy wants to build the future around himself, but one guy wanting to build the future around himself is, like I said, hasn't really been done on television, but is the quintessential pro wrestling story. Yeah, everybody wants to go in there. Ultimately, what was Cody Rhodes story? What was the story?
Seth Rollins
The face of the industry.
Kaley Cuoco
That's it. That's the story that he wanted to finish, right?
Seth Rollins
Yes.
Kaley Cuoco
Ultimately it was make this about me. And sometimes that's good and sometimes feels a little scary. So Seth Rollins. Right. And even in the way it's phrased when they go, well, the long term plan is for Seth Rollins to be the champion. That feels like bad news you get from a boss. You know what I mean? That feels like that's the guy. Right? Like, I don't know, that feels like, for, for anybody that like works a real job in corporate job that has to go see whoever their middle manager is at raise time. I don't know, I've just been, I've just been working so hard and I feel like I've been, I've been giving more to the team than I'm even asked for. And I'm. Yeah, that's just. We really appreciate what you're doing, but we have a different long term plan.
Seth Rollins
We actually have a plan for that guy to get promoted.
Kaley Cuoco
That guy, he whines, he whines about everything. Have you heard his cackle? No, no, no, no, no. We like his cackle. He's the long term plan. But we appreciate you anyway. Ta da.
Seth Rollins
So what are you gonna do? You're gonna attach yourself.
Kaley Cuoco
You got two choices. Either fight it and try to take that guy out, which some of the people on the roster are doing. Or if you're a younger guy like a Bronson Reed, if you're a younger guy, like a Bron Breaker, you go, no, I like, I, I, I, I think I'm gonna as another superstar on smackdown, might Say, get in where I fit in. You got it. I mean, so we get to this triple threat match, right? We see it's Finn Balor, it's Sami Zayn, it's Seth Rollins, and I'm as. I'm watching this, right? I'm going, now, usually the Money in the bank ladder match is about. I don't even know if it's usually, but. But in my head, the Money in the bank ladder match is about giving somebody an opportunity that either you've been wanting to get that opportunity, but it's never quite gotten there, or somebody that you're like, oh, they weren't even in the world title picture. And now, boom, here we are. Penta is a great example, right? We all love Penta. He's only been here for five months, and boom, in one night, catapult you, he could be launched into the World Heavyweight Championship picture, into the WWE Championship.
Seth Rollins
The other scenario you brought up, I always think of Liv Morgan, right? It was someone the fans wanted her to have the moment forever. Could never quite get there. Wins money in the bank.
Bert Kreischer
Boom.
Kaley Cuoco
And as fans, you go like, okay, tell me how you think Liv Morgan gets there. I don't know. There's this person, there's that person. I don't know how Liv gets there.
Seth Rollins
She gets there with money in the.
Kaley Cuoco
Bank, Money in the bank briefcase. And boom, now we're off to the races.
Seth Rollins
Changes lives, right?
Kaley Cuoco
And everything changes forever. Because now, if it's done right, and it's not always done right, but if it's done right, you're in a different conversation. Except in this match, Sami Zayn, Seth Rollins, Finn Balor, you got three guys who, no matter what universe you are in, are World championship level. They're there, all three of them. If you told me any of those three people were going to be the world champion this calendar year, I would 100% believe you. People have been waiting since Finn Balor held that universal championship for one day for Finn to have his next run on top. And we are. It's been. I mean, God knows how many years, and we are still waiting for that. We have been waiting this. This whole story, watching Sami Zayn rise almost to the top, to that penultimate level without ever getting to that ultimate level. We've been waiting. Sami Zayn has expressed that as his goal to be a world champion.
Seth Rollins
There's a lot of us who thought we were going to see it in Montreal, right?
Kaley Cuoco
And as Seth Rollins has gone, lost the title and watched it go, whether it goes to Damian Priest, whether It goes to Gunther. Whether it goes to Jey uso, that's a title that he wants associated with himself. And honestly, it's been long enough that it's been off his waist. Then I kind of think more people associate that title with Gunther than they do Seth Rollins.
Seth Rollins
I hear you on that.
Kaley Cuoco
You know what I mean?
Seth Rollins
Valid point. Not, I am not one of those people we talked about in the last.
Kaley Cuoco
Show, but now, so, so now I'm watching this going like, this is interesting because now you've got one of these people who when are they going to get their next shot at a world title? And you've got them all in there. And absolute chaos erupts. Of course we have faction associated human beings in that ring. Everybody in that ring has allies. And a triple threat match by definition is no dq. So, you know, at first I go, how could Sami Zayn not see this coming? When. When the Rollins goons, the Braun brothers, Bronson Reed and Bron Breaker, they were.
Seth Rollins
There the whole time.
Kaley Cuoco
When they went, yeah, when they pull Sammy out, it's like, yeah, of course that's going to happen. There's no disqualification this match. How did Sami Zayn not see this? Oh, he did see this coming. Here comes Jey uso in to even this score. That's right. Because just as quickly as this faction has been built around Seth, enemies to the faction have been built as well. So we've got now Sammy and Jay.
Seth Rollins
And Bronson and who did decide to bring.
Kaley Cuoco
Wow.
Seth Rollins
We don't know if he decided.
Kaley Cuoco
Dirty Dom shows up.
Seth Rollins
That's his brother.
Kaley Cuoco
Allies, brothers. That's right. And Dirty Dom, who has done this before, look, if there's anything. And you can take this back to Becky lynch versus Liv Morgan, you can take it back as far as you want. Dom is an extremely skilled athlete. His chair aim is all over the map, okay? There's no telling what's right. And that's true. I mean, it's not like you're a major league baseball fan.
Seth Rollins
Yes, yes.
Kaley Cuoco
Who's your team?
Seth Rollins
The Chicago White Sox.
Kaley Cuoco
I'm sorry, shouldn't have even asked.
Bert Kreischer
However.
Kaley Cuoco
However, that one was a softball. However, not everybody's a pitcher, right, because not everybody can throw with that accuracy.
Seth Rollins
Listen, the white doesn't even have one. Don't even have one. All right.
Kaley Cuoco
You don't have one at all. That's right. That's right. But some of them can run real good. Some of them can hit real good. It's just you have different skills. Dom, he can't slide a Chair. To throw his life. To save his life. Go ahead.
Seth Rollins
I think that's very debatable. I think Dominic knows exactly what he's doing.
Kaley Cuoco
You think pinpoint accuracy.
Seth Rollins
He likes to go out there. Oh, I don't understand time zones. Oh, I don't understand who's giving me my nuggets. Oh, I don't understand that it might be a bad look if Roxanne Perez is massaging my shoulder. He knows what he's doing.
Kaley Cuoco
But here's the thing. When you're built like Dom in terms of the aesthetic, right, he's gorgeous. Gorgeous. When you're a gorgeous dude who happens to be really good at professional wrestling.
Seth Rollins
He'S the Intercontinental champion.
Kaley Cuoco
That's what I'm saying. That's the workhorse title, okay? Dom's the workhorse. Maybe some of the academic stuff escapes you because you don't need to know it, right? Have you ever met somebody that's like this beautiful human being aesthetically? And maybe they're not, you know, the.
Seth Rollins
Most warm, not all there. The lights aren't all on.
Kaley Cuoco
You see what I'm saying? But they don't need it because they have other skill sets. Maybe they're super good at, at, at being goodlook. And also have this. They're great at horseback riding, whatever it is. Dom, incredibly charismatic, good looking guy, great wrestler, super good at pro wrestling. Not great at time zones, not great at maybe not understanding the female psyche. He's not the best at that. I think he would admit that. And one of the worst chair sliders that we've ever encountered in WWE history. And I've seen them all.
Seth Rollins
I'm a historian, you are a historian. I just think there might be something to dig a little deeper into.
Kaley Cuoco
And so unfortunately, as Finn Balor is trying to get that chair. Stop. Boom. Seth Rollins wins. Now, you wouldn't think, you wouldn't realize it going with Raw going off the air because even though we were told CM Punk wasn't in the building, look at my eyes, what do you see? Here comes CM Punk's music playing. The goons are ready to attack him in the entryway. And boom. CM Punk jumps out of the crowd, lays out Seth Rollins, and we end with CM Punk being triumphant. Now, now I think this is a strong message. Even though ultimately the lesson of the day is Seth Rollins is going to that money in the bank. Seth Rollins, who I believe in the history of the money in the bank briefcase is the greatest threat that any sitting champion could possibly have when it comes to that briefcase. There is nobody that has utilized that briefcase in a more spectacular and effective way than Seth Rollins ever, ever, ever. He defines it. That said, he's got a demon on his back, okay? He's got. He's got CM Punk, who is now hell bent on making sure that Seth Rollins is not successful in his life. Like something. Something has snapped and CM Punk has gone to that other place. Will he be effective? I don't know. He didn't keep him out of the Money in the bank ladder match.
Seth Rollins
And Seth has backup.
Kaley Cuoco
And Seth now has backup. Set. Now has we.
Seth Rollins
Remember, on The Road to WrestleMania, Seth made it his mission to make sure he could ruin CM Punk's life. Seth wasn't traveling around with backup.
Kaley Cuoco
He had a plan. And we sat here, right, and we said, I know I did. I don't remember we had on this or not see him. Probably both. But I know you and I had the conversation. Why is Seth not more upset about putting CM Punk in the main event of WrestleMania? There was a plan. Yes. Seth had his ducks in a row. Seth seems to always have his ducks in a row. Right now, seth joins Penta, L.A. knight and Solo Sokoa in the Money in the bank ladder match. Don't. Could be Jacob Fatu in there. Who knows who else is going to join these guys? But if I had to put money on this right now, what is more compelling in terms of watching television than the idea of now? Seth Rollins stands there with Paul Heyman, with Bron Breaker with Bronson Reed, and he's holding the Money in the bank briefcase.
Seth Rollins
Can Seth Rollins be synonymous with the world heavyweight title and the Money in the bank briefcase?
Kaley Cuoco
I think he can.
Seth Rollins
I think so too.
Kaley Cuoco
I think he can. And I mean, imagine that where Seth is like, I don't have to do anything. I don't have to wrestle. I don't have to threaten anybody. All I have to do is wait. Wait and figure out when the next heist of the century is, because I'm the one that's going to cash in.
Seth Rollins
And it is crowded. I mean, Jay is the world heavyweight champion. Just defended it. We saw against Logan Paul, and I've.
Kaley Cuoco
Got a lot to say about Jay Uso.
Seth Rollins
But then Gunters next in line, June.
Kaley Cuoco
9, which is the Monday after Money in the bank, which Jey USO already has his dance card filled in for that show.
Seth Rollins
So it's crowded.
Kaley Cuoco
Absolutely. And I mean, and that's fine. It doesn't matter anymore because Seth has said that he wants what's next after Gunther and Jay he wants what's next. If he can get that briefcase, nothing matters anymore.
Seth Rollins
He can get it whenever he wants.
Kaley Cuoco
I think Seth's gonna get the briefcase. I think he's gonna get the briefcase. That's. That's after seeing and I don't know, maybe my thought will change after seeing who else is. You know, I mean, the fact that we're getting Penta now in a ladder match in WWE is something spectacular. You know, I. I think La Knight's gonna be that favorite. La Knight fits that mold of the person where it's like, fans just love this guy. But what's his path to the main event?
Seth Rollins
And don't underestimate Solo Sokoa.
Kaley Cuoco
Low key, maybe. Smartest guy on the roster with.
Seth Rollins
Yes.
Kaley Cuoco
How does he keep himself on top? I don't know. This ain't Smackdown Recap.
Seth Rollins
Because he's out there recruiting.
Kaley Cuoco
Yes, he is. He's always got another trick up his sleeve. So I don't know. It's going to be great. But a spectacular way to end Monday night Raw. Jey USO was a big part of it. I want to talk about Jay uso. The judgment day was a big part of it. I want to talk about the judgment day, but what I would love to do is get to the arena floor where the machine, Bert Kreischer is still with us. We had some technical difficulties.

You had to convince Tom to finally go to an episode of Monday Night Raw. I think he might have been somewhat scared because of all the things that he said about wrestling fans in the past, but he decided to actually go. And then at the last minute, apparently. Why couldn't he hang with you in the arena?
Bert Kreischer
It's. It's. I mean, it happens to all of us. His private jet was scheduled at 10:30.
Kaley Cuoco
Oh.
Bert Kreischer
And he was like, I got to save a little cash and get off on 10:30. I can't push it by 15 minutes. Now, me, I fly commercial coach, usually back to the plane with the regular people.
Kaley Cuoco
Wow.
Bert Kreischer
I'm relatable. Tom's not wow. But yeah. So Tom's on a private jet right now, so.
Kaley Cuoco
Happens to all of us. Yeah.
Seth Rollins
Look, I mean, even. Even Logan Paul did an interview for this very show on private jet. So Tom has no excuse whatsoever.
Kaley Cuoco
Logan Paul is more relatable than Tom Segura.
Bert Kreischer
You know, here's the deal. Tom is like getting your. Can we first on this?
Kaley Cuoco
Yeah.
Bert Kreischer
Tom's like getting your wife to have small steps. It's small steps. And right now. Right now we have a pinky playing with the rim. Getting him here, you. You know for a fact, getting him here was a struggle. And I'm being serious. Like, he was afraid that I'll be Real wrestlers did not like him backstage.
Kaley Cuoco
They didn't?
Bert Kreischer
No. Oh, no. They were. I heard. I heard. I mean, no one. No one told me. I'm not gonna tell you anything. Five wrestlers were not happy he was here, were they?
Kaley Cuoco
I mean, you don't have to say names.
Bert Kreischer
They were vocal names. No one's telling me names. And I heard on the walkout, I get the names. I can tell you who I get that is.
Kaley Cuoco
But big names, probably. You think big names.
Bert Kreischer
No, it's a four letter name. It sounds like rad, but I mean, I'm just guessing who. I don't think so. I tried to adjust because I hung out with Chad last time. I was here. I was like, yo, can I introduce you to my friend Tom? And he was like, yes. Oh. But, yeah, it was. And I'll be honest with you. Listen, I love Tommy, you know, I love Tommy, but getting him here, it's. It is genuinely not his scene. You know, he's not a public amendments, public bathroom kind of guy. That's not his vibe. But when the matches started, he lost himself. He looked. When. I'm telling you right now, that guy's a wrestling fan. I don't give a. What he says. When they threw. So the sport basket of the night was Chad Gable. It was. It was Tag Gables match, and they got over on the Pat McAfee's table. And when that happened, Tom lost his model, he lost his mind. And they moved us down four seats, and Tom was out of his head. I swear to God. The only thing I regret, he did have to leave early for his private jet. But, dude, the last match of the night was gangbusters. It was. Sammy. It was so good. It was. And then CM Punk came out at the end, and I was being pulled up here to do this, and I missed you and Ralph. CM Punk, dude, everything about this is tall, you know?
Kaley Cuoco
Yes.
Bert Kreischer
He just. I don't. I think it's just disconnected since he got so wealthy. So right now he's getting back to what it was like to be a regular person, right. And go have regular fun. Dude, we had a blast. We were sitting in front of Walker Flock of Play.
Kaley Cuoco
I saw that. I saw that when you guys were all like, by the way, here's how I know that Tom was having a good time, because usually, you know, he likes to kind of set the pace and let's laugh at Bert, right? Bert's gonna. We're gonna. Bert's gonna tell the crazy stories, and we're gonna laugh at Bert. But what happened? You chug the beer and Tom goes, I guess this. I guess this is what we're doing. And Tom chugs the beer. And I'm like, yes, Bert, this is because you figured it out. I mean. I mean, for somebody who lives your life as this, like, everything is a party. That is professional wrestling. And Tom was in your world, dude, here's the deal.
Bert Kreischer
Here's the deal. A wrestling match is just like a football game. At its best, it is just as good as six points down with two minutes to go. At its best, when you see great, great matches at their best, as entertaining as anything. The end of that last match, when everyone's going, I mean, and Then, dude, it was so crazy. You can't deny it. It's undeniable. And what's so funny is, you know, Tom is not someone like Tom's Ozempic. He doesn't want to have fun.
Kaley Cuoco
Right?
Bert Kreischer
He doesn't want to have a good time. He'd rather go home, get on his phone, scroll Instagram. And I gotta be honest with you, when he killed that beer, he did say, my Ozempic is going to make me pay for this. I'll be throwing up soon. He did. He did. He said that? Yeah. He goes, I'm on Ozempic. I can't chug beers. I go, just chug it anyway. And he killed it. And then he's like, I'm going to go throw up right now. Wow.
Kaley Cuoco
And did he just start doing Ozempic like with the Netflix show, or was he been doing Ozempic for a little bit?
Bert Kreischer
Nuts.
Kaley Cuoco
Wow.
Bert Kreischer
Dude, he was doing Oz epic before they called him a zempic.
Kaley Cuoco
Wow. Wow. He's a lab rat.
Bert Kreischer
Let's. By the way, hold on. He was doing Oz epic when no one had any study trials.
Seth Rollins
He is the trial.
Kaley Cuoco
Yeah, he was the trial.
Bert Kreischer
Okay. And he's gonna see this. He's gonna be pissed. He legit was trying to get me on his epic today. Like, he was like, buddy, get on it. It's a shot once a week. You lose the weight, you stay off the weight, you're not as hungry, you feel full early. But the problem with those epic is it takes the zest and joy out of life where you overeat and feel sick and throw open your mouth while you sleep. That's the part of life I like.
Kaley Cuoco
Yeah, no, I know you do. And I've got to say, and I mentioned it to Megan while we were watching tonight when you were sitting there with the War Raiders and your shirt popped right off. I have to tell you, dude, like, I know you were telling a story about wanting to get into the ring the last time you were at RAW and. And WWE and Triple H and everyone being like, no, like from a physical. We can't. It's too much of a liability is what they said. And dude, just you shouting shirtless with the War Raiders like you were. You got to watch it back. You were so read that.
Bert Kreischer
I was worried about you, buddy. You would see the marks on my chest and on my back. They stopped me so hard that I literally my hurt. It was incredible. Hold on, hold on. Can I real quick talk to you? Did you see the last match I Was at Minneapolis.
Kaley Cuoco
Yeah.
Bert Kreischer
Did you see the stuff that wasn't filmed? Yeah, we.
Kaley Cuoco
Yeah, we. I saw it, like, later when. When, like, video came out of you choke. Slamming people, bro. Yeah.
Bert Kreischer
Can I tell you, that was the hardest time laugh today is. I think it's Austin got in. I think it was Austin got in and started talking to me. And he goes, what's up, fat boy? Fat boy? Tommy was crying, laughing. This is really good for Tom in the kind of way that it's good for Tom. You know, I mean, I'm not the soft plug us, but with our vodka corrosos, right? When you get Tom loose and you get like, you know, 10 milligram tom and he starts having a good time, that's. It's the basting for him because he's. You know, some people are introverts, some people are extroverts, and Tom is a real, genuine introvert. And this is not his speed. But, man, I'm telling you, he was through. He was through the roof tonight. He had a blast.
Seth Rollins
Did Tom yeet tonight?
Kaley Cuoco
Yeah. Did he yeet?
Bert Kreischer
No. We pissed during the yeet. We hung out with Tom. Who the hell is that? I go, it's Titus. He's got the biggest hands in the world. I was like. And Tom did not know who it was. He goes, sure. Can we get a picture?
Kaley Cuoco
You told. I was listening to. It was a great recap that you did on Two Bears One Cave, which is the podcast that you do with Tom, and you kind of broke down your last trip to Monday Night Raw, and you were talking about the choke slams. Because I go, like, when I first saw it as a fan, I'm like, well, if Bert was going to choke slam people, why isn't he choke slamming people on tv? And the story that you told on that podcast, and tell me if it really is true, is that that was not approved, that you were not supposed to jump over the barricade, that you got nervous and started whipping your belt at them. And then just in the most Bert Kreischer fashion possible, we're just going with the flow. And somehow ended up in the ring, even though they specifically told you you cannot get in the ring.
Bert Kreischer
Yeah, true. I told Triple H. When we got there, I talked to Triple H and I told him, I was like, yo, I want to take a bump. And he was like, like, you've got to come to Orlando for, like a week. We did that with Bad Bunny. You gotta like jelly roll. You gotta like, train. We can't just put you in the ring, you're gonna get physically hurt. You're 52. And I was like, I think I could do it. He was like, yeah, it's not gonna happen. And Leanne's with me the whole time, and she like, you're not getting in the ring. I'm so happy. This isn't happening. This is not happening. So we do the whole show. We. And it was great. We did the thing with Otis. We killed a beer, had the belt. Everything was awesome. It was so fun, all of it. Matches were amazing. And I know CM Punk. I know him. I know him, and I seen him earlier. I said, are you doing something tonight? He's like, no. And then at the end, him and Seth Rollins have their thing, and all of a sudden, Grace of all time out, and they slammed Punk. And I'm watching, and I know CM Punk. I'm not doing this as, like. As like, a fan or, like, anything. Entertainment, sports entertainment. I know CM Punk. And I'm like, well, man, this isn't how I saw the story going that Pat McAfee's gone, the camera crew's gone, everyone's gone. Only the fat bouncers are left, right? The fat ones. I'm so sorry, sir. I'm so sorry. I'm sorry. I didn't mean you. But, like. Anyway, he's sitting right in front of me anyway, and then freaking. Once his name comes out and starts going, what's up, fat boy? What are you gonna do now?
Kaley Cuoco
Theory.
Bert Kreischer
So confused. I was so confused. And then the one. The one bouncer goes. Jump over, man. Fight him.
Kaley Cuoco
What?
Bert Kreischer
I was like, huh? I was like, I don't think that's how this works. I think I got to run this by Triple H. Yeah. Like, no, no, fight him. Get over. So I climb over, by the way.
Kaley Cuoco
By the way, you know. You know, because you literally do arenas, you know, when you're talking to WWE personnel and you know when you're talking to just arena staff, that's just saying a thing.
Bert Kreischer
The dude who grew up in St. Paul do. And he's like, get over. Jump over. And I was like, wait, hold on. So I jump over. And then the look in his eyes threw me off because I was like, I don't. I don't know you. And I. And I don't know why this is happening, but I do know CM Punk. And you know that the only person's name I dropped backstage was CM Punk. CM Punk here. Where's CM Punk? Is Cody Rhodes here? Hey, guys, the two guys who are in WWE is Cody Rhodes and CM Punk. Does anyone know those guys? And I watched people's air get walked by. I swear to God, Seth Rollins really doesn't like me. He walked by me twice. And Mad Dog Sam. No kfab. I'm telling. For real. Seth Rollins. Does any guy like me? And he hates Tom. Is that the name?
Kaley Cuoco
Good.
Bert Kreischer
Anyway, we walked into Seth Rollins dressing room while he was getting ready, and we took a piss in his. And he was like the. Anyway, so I'm giving away too much. I'm so sorry. Anyway, so they take me over and I just pull my belt off to defend myself. I don't know what's gonna happen. You're in over your head clapping it. Yeah. And then all of a sudden, CM Punk's like, get in the ring. And I'm like, huh? And by the way, I had heard Cody Rhodes say to me, yeah, man, like, we talk to each other sometimes. And I was like. And CM goes, get in the ring. So I get in the ring, he's like, can you show up, Sam? And I was like, I think so. And so he just put his throat in my hand. And I heard CM Punk go, one, two, Human. And brother, I will just say every man deserves to lose his virginity to the woman he loves. And it chokeslam a person from a different country. That's all I'll say.
Kaley Cuoco
That is beautiful. That really is beautiful. And it really is. Also, again, it's Bert Kreiser lore that of course somebody goes, hey, can you do a full split? You're like, of course I can. Hey, can you run a marathon? Of course I can. Hey, can you choke slam a wrestler? Yeah, yeah, of course I can.
Seth Rollins
Well, none of this would have ever happened if you were on Ozempic because it all started because he called you fat.
Kaley Cuoco
That's right. Good point.
Bert Kreischer
Tom's trying to ruin you against those epic about live your life. We're all gonna die.
Kaley Cuoco
Yeah.
Bert Kreischer
What, do you want to die jabbing yourself once a week? Or do you want to die living your life? Let me tell you something, man. I gotta give you shout. Do you remember that video of that guy crying when he talked to the professor wrestlers? He's like, you guys give your body, man. I don't like that that gets mocked as much as it does still real to me. It's. It's still real to me. I am literally sitting there watching tonight going like, I mean, chat. Chad Gable split his head open.
Kaley Cuoco
Yeah.
Bert Kreischer
And Tommy looked at me and he goes, buddy, he's bleeding. And I went, yeah, he goes, no, he's bleeding. He kicked his head. He's bleeding. And he's. And then they brought him a towel in the ring. And Tom's like, dude, he's hurt. He's actually hurt. That is how real it is. It is like when you kick a man in the throat. I don't know. I'm selling ice cream to Eskimos. Is that.
Kaley Cuoco
I mean, that's right.
Bert Kreischer
You're watching this already. You know? Already know how great.
Kaley Cuoco
No, but people like to hear it. People like to hear it from guys like you who associate with people like Tom Segura who are not friends of this world. You see what I'm saying? The fact that you are as in as you are, I think, is. Is why it's music to all of our ears. You're in our hearts. By the way, anybody that's watching this that also likes comedy, now that you know that Bert Kreischer is a real one and you want to see what he's doing. Lucky is streaming right now on Netflix. It's fantastic. You should check out the special. Bert. I appreciate you.
Bert Kreischer
Bad Thoughts, Tom's series is streaming right now on. On Netflix. And if you like, if you like professional wrestling, you're going to love that thought, dude.
Kaley Cuoco
Bad Thoughts is so.
Bert Kreischer
I'm just telling you if, if you're. I don't know the right way to say this, but like, if you're. If you're a cynic.
Kaley Cuoco
Yeah.
Bert Kreischer
And you like negative, then don't come here.
Kaley Cuoco
Right.
Bert Kreischer
But if you like to disappear for a little bit. If you. If you just want to chant just a. Like, if you want to get into something and lose yourself, like, if you like roller coasters, you're gonna love wrestling. It's so fun. We had such a great time tonight. And my buddy Tom Segura, who is a penny pinching millionaire, he is Scrooge McDowell.
Kaley Cuoco
Right? Cheap.
Bert Kreischer
He had a great time tonight and he will say the same things when we do a podcast with number one designer in the world, James Purse next week.
Kaley Cuoco
Yes.
Bert Kreischer
But he'll say the same thing. He had a blast. He had a blast. It was so fun to share with him.
Kaley Cuoco
Awesome, man. Well, I love being on this journey with you, your wrestling fan journey. I feel like we're on the road. We got to talk to you. As this thing evolves.
Bert Kreischer
I hate that my daughter's birthday is June 7th. That's so badly. Want to watch that match in L. A.
Kaley Cuoco
Bring her.
Seth Rollins
That's Rusev day.
Kaley Cuoco
Bring her. And it's On Rusev day of all days. Bring her.
Bert Kreischer
I got. We're going to surprise her for her 21st birthday. I'm pretty sure she doesn't watch this podcast, so I could say that.
Kaley Cuoco
Okay. Okay. Well, hopefully she does not. Burt, you are the best. We appreciate you so much.
Bert Kreischer
I said that. They go, do you know Sam Alberts? Sam, you know for a fact I was your first fan, bro.
Kaley Cuoco
Burr was on. Burr was supportive because he got. Burt was supportive of me when I was confused as to why anybody would be supportive of me before you were day one.
Bert Kreischer
I'm a day one rider dime.
Kaley Cuoco
Yeah, you are, dude. Yeah, you are. And I can't tell you how much I appreciate it, man. And you're the best, dude. You are the best.
Bert Kreischer

Kaley Cuoco

I feel like we are within an arm's length of Bert Kreischer becoming a wrestling T shirt guy. That's the next step in all of this. Even though he's known for being shirtless when he's not shirtless. Wearing a wrestling T shirt. Because you're just celebrating it wherever you.
Seth Rollins
Go there with the shirt.
Kaley Cuoco
Yes.
Seth Rollins
And then before you know it, he's got a basement just like yours.
Kaley Cuoco
Exactly right. Maybe a replica championship. Good news for him. By the way, the Memorial Day sale going on at WWE Shop continues on. If you are watching this or listening to it the day it comes out, then it goes all the way up until 11:59pm okay. And, and, and they have everything. There's 40% up to 40% off savings right now on. They got like the, the, the big old championship, the WWE Big Gold, that's on sale right now. That's right. That's exactly right. The Austin 316 T shirt. Of course they got toy championships. Don't forget, don't forget, don't forget. There's all kinds of new Superstar tees up right now at WWE Shop. Thanks to fanatics. They got the Jacob Fatu shirt. They have the new one that Jay was wearing tonight.
Seth Rollins
Four letters. Two words. One word, one word.
Kaley Cuoco
There it is.
Seth Rollins
I was all excited about that.
Kaley Cuoco
I know the. It's everybody's favorite and they put on the shirt, so don't even worry about that. And of course, maybe the greatest wrestling T shirt of all time, Ron Cena. The farewell to Ron Cena T shirt that R Truth was sporting on Saturday night's main event. All available now at WWE Shop. Go ahead, go check it out. And speaking of, I wanted to talk about Jey uso. Okay. Because Jay USO comes out, here's the first question I have for you.
Seth Rollins
The best, though, when he's yeeting with a young fan, is it any better? Entrant sense.
Kaley Cuoco
It's right up there with Brett giving his glasses to a kid. Oh, you know what I mean? It's those things, like all you wanted to do. When I was growing up as a wrestling fan, the biggest dream I could think of, and this is up Until I was 15 years old, the biggest dream I could think of is Bret Hart giving me his sunglasses. It's all I wanted out of life. I bought a pair. I never got it, but but now, if I'm growing up now, if I was that kid, now, all I would want to do is be the kid. Plus, what's great about this is to get Bret Hart sunglasses, you had to be sitting front row. I'm that green T shirt guy. Okay. I didn't know as a kid how you even got to sit in the front row. That was way this.
Seth Rollins
You were sitting anywhere, right?
Kaley Cuoco
I was up in 201.
Seth Rollins
I don't even know where he's going to enter.
Kaley Cuoco
He comes in from the top. You see my Saturday night's main event.
Seth Rollins
I know.
Kaley Cuoco
So you could be sitting there in the 1000s, the 2000s. All of a sudden he's like, you want to. You want to do this? It's the greatest thing. It's the greatest thing, but okay, that's part of it, right? Coming up with all these wonderful new ways to enter the ring. He's helping Sami Zayn in this triple threat match. He's got this grudge, whatever it is, against the Seth Rollins, Brom Breaker, Brunson Reed faction. So he's dealing with the Seth Rollins faction. He's helping Sami Zayn. He's now in the main event of Money in the bank, teaming with Cody Rhodes against Logan Paul and John Cena. And, oh, yeah, then Gunther waits for him. On the Monday after Money in the Bank, Gunther interrupts his promo. Right. Jay's talking about the tag team match at Money in the Bank. Gunther interrupts the promo.
Seth Rollins
Is this what Jay should be talking about? Should he be thinking about.
Kaley Cuoco
That's what I was going to ask, Match.
Seth Rollins
Or should he be thinking ahead to Gunter?
Kaley Cuoco
Do you think Jay's got too much on his plate?
Seth Rollins
Yes.
Kaley Cuoco
You do?
Seth Rollins
Yes, I do.
Kaley Cuoco
Yes. Or yeet. Yeet. Okay, okay. You think? Well, listen, but everybody talks about how much weight on the shoulders a champion has to have. It's almost expected for a champion to carry this type of weight. Do you think that he is carrying the appropriate amount of weight or do you think that he is jumped into the deep end to try to prove himself and he's doing too much too soon?
Seth Rollins
Too much too soon. He didn't necessarily jump into the deep end with this Cody Rhodes situation. That was sort of thrust upon him.
Kaley Cuoco
Yes, to an extent, but I think.
Seth Rollins
He should be focused on Gunter and only Gunther.
Kaley Cuoco
Here's what I'll say about Gunther, okay?
Seth Rollins
Because all that matters is that he remains the world Heavyweight champion. Right? It's nice to help your friend Sami Zayn, but does that help you retain the title?
Kaley Cuoco
But you're the top guy. You're the guy who's representing wrestling. You're the guy who's looking out, going. People are tired of seeing people like Logan Paul and John Cena try to control everything.
Seth Rollins
But what about a guy like Guenther?
Kaley Cuoco
What about a guy like Gunter?
Seth Rollins
And people aren't tired of seeing a guy like Guenter control anything. And is he out there trying to help people, help his friends?
Bert Kreischer
No.
Kaley Cuoco
He's a selfish guy. He's a so. And he made it clear.
Seth Rollins
Champion.
Kaley Cuoco
Okay. All right. I'm glad you brought that up because Gunther came out and told Jey uso. Oh, this being a champion thing doesn't come naturally to you. As of today, this moment, put it down in history. I am done with the narrative that Jey uso doesn't know how to be a champion. I'm done with the narrative that being a champion doesn't come easily to Jey Uso. Doesn't come naturally to Jey Uso. Jay Uso is not a real champion. Jey Uso defended the title against Seth Rollins. One Jey Uso defended the title Against Logan Paul won. Jay Uso beat Gunther for the championship at WrestleMania. Had a stadium full of people going nuts, by the way, before this. J uso took the tag team championship and made it so important in WWE that as the defending champion, he Main evented a WrestleMania with the tag team championship. I, this, this is something that, that, that you could have brought up, like right after Jey uso won the Royal Rumble. Really? You think he's gonna be the world champion? You think he's a world champion? There's so many other people. You think, Jay uso, we're over. We're done with it. What evidence since Jay has won the championship is there that Jay shouldn't be the champion? He's had good. He had a great match with Seth Rollins.
Seth Rollins
He did.
Kaley Cuoco
He had good match with Logan Paul on Saturday night's main event.
Seth Rollins
He did.
Kaley Cuoco
He stepped right up to John Cena. When he stepped up to John Cena, there was no, there wasn't. There wasn't. There was nothing in his eyes. It was pure confidence.
Seth Rollins
And I'm not saying that he.
Kaley Cuoco
And Gunther comes out and he goes, you don't understand being a champion. And Logan Paul, of all people, who's been wrestling for, you know, two lunchables worth or lunch leaves. I'm sorry. Logan Paul tells Jay uso, you're not a real champion. No more of it. What? I mean, how many times, how long do you have to be a champion. How many times do you have to defend the title before people go, you are the champion and you are defining your reign the way you see fit. What on earth about J? And then. And then they go like this. Well, if you're the champion, you shouldn't be helping Sami Zayn. Well, he hasn't lost it yet.
Seth Rollins
Yet.
Kaley Cuoco
So then why are we sitting there like counting the days?
Seth Rollins
He doesn't. He doesn't belong as champion. I'm in agreement with you.
Kaley Cuoco
He beat the guy who had the belt, which means that he, he won the Royal Rumble.
Seth Rollins
Should still be.
Kaley Cuoco
And then he's defended it multiple times.
Seth Rollins
In lockstep with you right there. But is it with all of this going on Z, does he need to help so many people out as well?
Kaley Cuoco
Bro, it's nice that you're the champion, okay?
Seth Rollins
Nice that he's doing it.
Kaley Cuoco
They're a good guy.
Seth Rollins
Smarter, not harder.
Kaley Cuoco
No, a good guy needs to main event money in the bank to team with Cody Rhodes. If you're Jey uso, you should be the type of champion that people buy tickets to see. And people are going to buy tickets to see Cody Rhodes and Jey uso together.
Bert Kreischer
Why?
Kaley Cuoco
Because they're so damn engaging. Okay? That's what a champion does. A champion.
Seth Rollins
Because you're hoping we can see the press conference too.
Kaley Cuoco
I mean the glory that is the J uso, Cody Rhodes friendship and tag team. That's the press conference where Yeet was born. For all intents and purposes, this made.
Seth Rollins
All of those children's dreams come true.
Kaley Cuoco
And Jay's. I don't think Jay becomes the champion. I don't think with that. But that's my point is that without the entrance through the crowd, without Jay being involved over here and over there, without Jay doing so many things that are atypical of a champion, Jay doesn't build the momentum that is required to become the champion. Jay's not Gunther, Jay's not Logan, Paul, and thank God for that.
Seth Rollins
All I'm saying is when you have a threat as dangerous as Gunter and Seth Rollins awaiting you at any moment.
Kaley Cuoco
This is what a champion don't know.
Seth Rollins
If it's the smartest thing to help your friends.
Kaley Cuoco
That's it. This is what a champion does. What's in front of what's in front of me today? What's in front of me today?
Seth Rollins
You can't be thinking about June 9, right? It is May 27.
Kaley Cuoco
When is Tom Brady start thinking about the Super Bowl?
Seth Rollins
The next day.
Kaley Cuoco
Right. That we had Tyrese Halliburton, which we shouldn't be mentioning his name right now because there's a lot of Knicks fans that are mad at us about that.
Seth Rollins
He's a big fan of the show.
Kaley Cuoco
But he said, yeah, the game's in there somewhere. But really, when we touch down in New York, when we walk into Madison Square Garden, that's when I'll be thinking about it.
Seth Rollins
He was so locked in on the interview.
Kaley Cuoco
You know why Gunther is thinking about his match with Jey uso weeks in advance? Because Gunther's not the champion. Jay is. That's how champions act. Jay's got a lot on his plate.
Seth Rollins
Gunther, I don't think he should be taking on other people's problems.
Kaley Cuoco
Whose problems?
Seth Rollins
Sami Zayn's.
Kaley Cuoco
If he's the world champion, if Jey uso is the world champion, then he should be representing his brand and his company. And if there is a problem within that brand, the Raw brand, and that problem is Seth Rollins and Bron Breaker and Bronson Reed, then shouldn't Jey uso be going? No, I'm. I'm the one representing this place. I'm going to make sure that you guys don't run roughshod over everything. Because if you do, and I just step back and allow it to happen, because I'm sitting here thinking about Gunther for three weeks, then all of a sudden, even if I beat Gunther, I look around and I've just allowed these guys to take over the whole territory.
Seth Rollins
But what did Cody Rhodes learn when he was the champion?
Kaley Cuoco
It's so great to be champion for a year. I don't know what.
Seth Rollins
Champions don't have friends.
Kaley Cuoco
Randy Orton was his friend. Jay. Champions don't have friends. Champions don't have friends.
Seth Rollins
It's lonely at the top.
Kaley Cuoco
Who's Cody Rhodes teaming with at Money in the Bank?
Seth Rollins
Jay uso.
Kaley Cuoco
Jay Use has been Cody's friend the whole time, and Cody's been Jay's friend the whole time.
Seth Rollins
It's tough to have friends when you're at the top. That's all I'm saying.
Kaley Cuoco
Not if you're a real one times.
Seth Rollins
They can get in the way.
Kaley Cuoco
How would you know anyway, anyway, Judgment day is getting messy, too.
Seth Rollins
Yes. I mean, is Raquel a rat?
Kaley Cuoco
Okay, so I heard Michael Cole bring that up and no, I mean, that struck me as maybe. Michael Cole does not have a lot of close friends. I think Pat McAfee might. Michael Cole's first friend. And he just made it just now. Yeah. And he's just getting used to this Whole friendship thing. Yeah. Yeah, I think so. No, I think so.
Seth Rollins
Raquel is a good friend. Because if someone did that, if there was another girl creeping around my best girl's boyfriend, I would have to let her know.
Kaley Cuoco
Can you imagine if Raquel had been.
Bert Kreischer
Like, oh, no, it wasn't any of my business.
Kaley Cuoco
He'd be like, what? We're literally tag team champions. We're best buds. You know why you didn't think to tell me about the chicken tenders? You didn't think to tell me about. That's right. They were nuggets.
Seth Rollins
Nuggets.
Kaley Cuoco
They were improperly labeled. You're right. You didn't think to tell me about the person who's stealing plays out of my playbook. You didn't think that was necessary.
Seth Rollins
Raquel's been given live close updates.
Kaley Cuoco
Yeah, well, Liv was back. I think she left that movie set early. She's like, when Mike and the Mad Dog with Mike would have to come back from his vacation early because Mad Dog was getting too comfortable hosting the show by himself. I think Liv Morgan left the movie set early to make sure that everything going on in that clubhouse was on the level.
Seth Rollins
And Dominic was thrilled to see live back.
Kaley Cuoco
Yeah, I don't think Dominic realized anything was wrong. He's like, cool.
Seth Rollins
Is this great?
Kaley Cuoco
Oh, Roxanne Perez. She seems cool. Oh, cool. Lives here. That's cool, too. I mean, but girls love the aloof guy. I don't know what it is. I'm not aloof at all. And guess what? Girls don't have the time of day for me, okay? They love aloof fellas. And Dom's a little aloof at times.
Seth Rollins
Yeah, Easygoing, right? Well, listen, he's a simple man.
Kaley Cuoco
You think so?
Seth Rollins
Yeah. 2K25, some Nuggies.
Kaley Cuoco
You think Liv, if what's happening to live feels like it came out right out of Liv's playbook, Do you think that Liv is justified in being upset, or do you think it's a matter of we reap what we sow in this life?
Seth Rollins
She's justified in being upset.
Kaley Cuoco
Good for you. You are Live Dom through and through. That was a test. That was a test.
Seth Rollins
She's just. I mean, I'm very excited to see what's going on because I am a big fan of Roxanne Perez's don't let.
Kaley Cuoco
Live Dom hear you say that.
Seth Rollins
I am. I'm not necessarily a fan of Dom Rocks yet.
Kaley Cuoco
Okay.
Seth Rollins
Because I'm team Live Dom.
Kaley Cuoco
Okay, good. I'm glad you put that on the record. You Know who's a fan of all this? Finn Balor. He seems to be having the time of his life. I've never seen that guy smile so much. But we had. So. So. Okay, so. But Roxanne Perez comes out, interferes in the match that Liv is having with Kyrie Sane. By the way, I don't know. Wherever Liv Morgan was on this movie set, they must have shipped a ring to her because she has not missed a step in the last few weeks that she's been gone. But incredible match with Kyrie Sane. It ends when Roxanne Perez interferes on Liv's behalf, and it is effective. But then the argument ensues with Raquel and Roxanne. Liv is distracted. It gives Kyrie Sane just enough time to avoid oblivion and win the match. Liv Morgan's obviously upset. This is her big comeback. And now she's lost, especially as she's campaigning to get a money in the bank qualifying match. But she blames Raquel, which was very bizarre.
Seth Rollins
Now, Raquel is your inside gal, right? She's been the one who's been providing you updates about Roxanne Perez.
Kaley Cuoco
But if Raquel is not focused on the game, if Raquel is not focused on the plan. You know, here's the other thing. Raquel may not like Roxanne Perez around there because what if. The same way Liv Morgan may not like Roxanne and Dom getting along from a friendship perspective, maybe Raquel doesn't like the idea that. What if Liv and Roxanne end up getting along?
Seth Rollins
Or, I mean, why was can see this and smell this from a mile away? Because Roxanne has taken a play out of Liv Morgan's playbook, and this is her counteract.
Kaley Cuoco
Oh, you mean she's like.
Seth Rollins
She's playing double defense, play offense.
Kaley Cuoco
But why was Roxanne Perez upset about. And why was Raquel upset about Roxanne interfering if. I mean, it was for the betterment of Liz?
Seth Rollins
She doesn't trust Roxanne.
Kaley Cuoco
Well, that's not nice.
Seth Rollins
Why is that not nice? Why would you trust Roxanne? She just shows up in your clubhouse with nuggies for your best friend's boyfriend.
Kaley Cuoco
Look how happy Finn Balor is.
Seth Rollins
Would you trust anything that this woman does?
Kaley Cuoco
I don't. I think, like, to just be like, I don't trust you and I don't like you. And it's like, what have I done? If you can't tell me what I've.
Seth Rollins
Done, you're talking about best friend's man. She just doesn't like Here.
Kaley Cuoco
I don't like your vibe.
Seth Rollins
Yeah, I wouldn't like her vibe either. It's like, okay, bro, best friends, man.
Kaley Cuoco
But what if you're trying to be like, you know what? Maybe I was out of line. Let me help you. By interfering in your match and then get yelled at for it? That doesn't seem nice.
Seth Rollins
I just. I just don't think that Raquel can trust Roxanne Perez. And I don't blame her.
Kaley Cuoco
You don't think lives anger towards Roxanne was legitimate? You think maybe it was more of a mental mind game? It could be for Roxanne.
Seth Rollins
It could be. Yeah. I mean, listen. Why Liv is skeptical of Roxanne, right?
Kaley Cuoco
Yeah.
Seth Rollins
She has to be.
Kaley Cuoco
Yeah, of course. Of course. She knows this game.
Seth Rollins
That's her game back.
Kaley Cuoco
It's her game.
Seth Rollins
So we'll see.
Kaley Cuoco
Like we've said, actions have consequences.
Seth Rollins
Always do.
Kaley Cuoco
And she may be. I mean, that's one of those things. She may be looking around every corner going, when is this universe going to hit me in the face with a pie?
Seth Rollins
Love all the ladies competing for Dom.
Kaley Cuoco
Because you get it.
Seth Rollins
It's great.
Kaley Cuoco
You understand it. It's relatable. Look, maybe you have the opportunity to ask Liv Morgan in person, what on earth is going on? Get the Fanatics Fest. Have you heard about what's going on with Fanatics Fest? It is right around the corner. Fanatics Fest, June 20th through the 22nd at the Jacob Javits center in New York City. It's already less than a month away. That is absolutely insane. If you're a WWE fan and you haven't gotten your tickets yet, now is the time to get them. There's so many WWE activities that are going to be going on at this place. Last year, WWE took the entire place over. This year, it's going to be even bigger. We're gonna.

And by the way, WWE has been invading sports all over the place. Oh. I mean, we see it in baseball, we see it in football, but I mean, on a global level, did you see WWE invading soccer? Football was everywhere, if you will. Yeah, Sunderland. Sunderland. Striker Eliza. Eliza Meinda. And I'm sorry if I'm mispronouncing it. Look, I'm not the biggest soccer fan in the world, but when I see one of the biggest stars in any sport. And again, my apologies to any of you out there that are obsessed with this the way we are all obsessed with wrestling. I understand it and I appreciate it. When I see an athlete in any sport getting out there and putting the Randy Orton pose in the most triumphant moment. That's the power that pro wrestling has, that you are out there. This sport that you have dedicated your life to, that. The minute that you feel this triumph and this wave of energy comes over you, what are you thinking? You think about wrestling, you're thinking about the Viper, you're thinking about Randy Orton, you're that you go back to being an 8 year old kid. It's so fun. So it was amazing to see that over the weekend. But you know, he's not. It doesn't seem like he's having a lot of fun.
Seth Rollins
Who's that?
Kaley Cuoco
Becky Lynch. Becky lynch out on Raw tonight. Lyra Valkyria is in the ring.
Seth Rollins
Get them wangs.
Kaley Cuoco
She's got them wangs out and that. Not the real ones. Metaphorically though, the wangs are out for Lyra Valkyria. It's announced that we are getting the rematch for the Intercontinental Championship. Becky lynch versus Lyra Valkyria. And Lyra starts by saying, I couldn't wait to see who was next in line with all the women that are on the roster and everybody who deserves a. Oh, Becky lynch gets another shot at the Intercontinental Championship. And Becky comes out and she is still on this trip of like, I won the night.
Seth Rollins
But she did win the night, didn't she? Didn't have the goal.
Kaley Cuoco
No, that's what the match was for.
Seth Rollins
Went to the hospital.
Kaley Cuoco
I mean, I'll. If I'M the intercontinental champion. I'll move into the hospital if I get to be the intercontinental champion. Sleep in your bed.
Seth Rollins
Defend your title if you're just in the hospital all the time. I said he stood tall.
Kaley Cuoco
That's right.
Seth Rollins
She made a statement at the end of the night.
Kaley Cuoco
Good. She stood tall. Not very shiny because there was no gold on her anywhere to be seen. Just like the last time she and Lyra were in the ring together in nxt.
Seth Rollins
What is gold? What good does gold do you in the hospital?
Kaley Cuoco
You're still a champ. You kidding me? You don't think the hospital will be, like, the intercontinental champs in that room? Let's make sure that she's got the.
Seth Rollins
Good room, get her the good cafeteria food, 100% best Jell O.
Kaley Cuoco
She's getting lobster every night, not just her last night. She's the intercontinental champion, for God's sake.
Seth Rollins
Let me tell you, hospital lobster, it's the best.
Kaley Cuoco
It's the best lobster there is.
Seth Rollins
Yeah.
Kaley Cuoco
Especially if you're the intercontinental champion. So we got a stipulation on this, though, that I found very, very interesting. Becky offered this up, and I think that Becky really is hoping to get it done this time and wants to add insult to injury because Becky said that if she loses to Lyra Valkyria, she will never challenge Lyra for that championship again.
Seth Rollins
Again.
Kaley Cuoco
That's right. But if she wins, then Lyra must raise Becky's hand in victory.
Seth Rollins
See, I think this is so nice of Becky. We just talk about Jay making the lives of all of these kids by choosing a young fan in the crowd to yeet with. And Becky sees the fan in Lyra Velcro.
Kaley Cuoco
Don't you dare. Grew. Don't you dare.
Seth Rollins
And being inspired by the man. And she says, you know what? I'm gonna make your life, and I will let you raise your my hand in victory.
Kaley Cuoco
This is very unbecoming. This is. This is. This is unbecoming of you.
Seth Rollins
Big of Becky. I mean, I mean, for her to accomplish this much and to turn back around and say, lyra, I'll allow you to do that.
Kaley Cuoco
I've been accused of.
Seth Rollins
Big of Becky.
Kaley Cuoco
I've been accused of being a show before, but I've never seen anything like this. This is insane. To insult the intercontinental champion, Call her, like, compared to a fan that gets to be in there with Becky lynch is maybe was. Maybe there was a time, but she's grown out of that and become her own individual. She's become a champion. Okay. The intercontinental champion, the Dominic Mysterio of the women's division. Okay. This is who Lyra Valkyria is. And maybe Becky is starting to become a bit of a fan of Lyra.
Seth Rollins
She didn't look like she was fangirling over anyone.
Kaley Cuoco
No, she didn't look like it was like it tonight. But look, Becky said, when I win fair and square, you'll raise my hand in victory. I'm very worried that Becky lynch has something very, very devious up that leather sleeve of hers, and she's going to make Lyra raise her arm under, I mean, obscene circumstances.
Seth Rollins
She showed what she's capable of when she put Lyra in hospital.
Kaley Cuoco
And Lyra showed what she's capable of when she beat Becky Lynch. Do you think Becky could live to regret this stipulation? I mean, do you think if Lyra beats Becky lynch again at Money in the bank, what is. How could you be a fluke three times? That's not how flukes work. Are you a maniac? It's not a fluke. It would be the third time it happened.
Seth Rollins
Well, you know.
Kaley Cuoco
No, I don't know. No, I don't. Okay.
Seth Rollins
It wouldn't be a fluke, but Becky is going to win fair and score.
Kaley Cuoco
Okay, but if she did it, if she didn't, that was three times now. I mean, I kind of feel like not only would Becky not be able to challenge Lyra for another intercontinental championship match, but what would Becky even do.
Seth Rollins
At that point was a roll up in nxt and it wasn't decisive.
Kaley Cuoco
And then it was decisive. There was three counts on the mat and then a bell.
Seth Rollins
Becky won the night.
Kaley Cuoco
So that's not a thing. There aren't awards for the night. What are you talking about? What do you mean nobody wins the night? You win.
Seth Rollins
You do.
Kaley Cuoco
It's the match. That's the only contest is the match.
Seth Rollins
Well, we just talked about at the start of the show is like Seth won the match. He's going to money in the bank. But like, the talking point is CM Punk.
Kaley Cuoco
But what did I say?
Seth Rollins
So did CM Punk win the night?
Kaley Cuoco
No, there is no win the night. Everyone gets to share the night. It's everyone's night. Everyone's going to sleep. Everyone's waking up and it's everyone's morning. Nobody wins the night. I said specifically to start the show. If you remember all the way back.
Seth Rollins
Then, that's how competitive Becky lynch is. She takes no time of day off. She's focused on winning the morning.
Kaley Cuoco
Jey USO is focused on the wrong thing.
Seth Rollins
Becky's trying to win focused on a Sunday hour of the day.
Kaley Cuoco
No. As a matter of fact, when we started the show, I said, don't let this CM Punk thing distract you. Seth Rollins won. He's going to money in the bank. Let's talk about Seth Rollins going to money in the bank.
Seth Rollins
But a lot. Because he won the match, CM Punk won the night.
Kaley Cuoco
A lot of fans say a lot. A lot of fans chant we want tables when for no reason. A lot of people say a lot of things. Doesn't make any sense. Doesn't make it right.
Seth Rollins
I think Lyra is in trouble, to answer your question.
Kaley Cuoco
That wasn't my question.
Seth Rollins
All right? She's in big trouble.
Kaley Cuoco
I didn't ask them Wangs out to answer your question. What question?
Seth Rollins
Big Wang holding up Becky's arm in victory.
Kaley Cuoco
We should take the wings off before the match, I'm sure. Listen, we'll see. We'll see. We got another Raw before Money in the Bank. We'll probably have this exact same argument after that episode of Monday Night Raw. And quite frankly, I can't wait for it. I hope that you guys will be there for it.
