Lolly HollandGuestSo, first of all, WWE obviously is in Mexico City for SmackDown and Raw, so we had a lot of matches tailored for that audience.
They never mentioned it.
Never mentioned they were in Mexico.
I had to look it up.
Where have they been advertising that?
But well, first of all, I think there's only one place we have a new WWE champion.
There were some shenanigans, of course.
they knew that if well basically they made agreement if sammy won he was going to get a title shot first using me the first person to get a shot at the title so they were doing distracting ringside candice larrey distracted the ref while um cm punk had sammy in a anaconda vice sammy was tapping wasn't seen johnny jumped into the ring tried to hit cm punk with a belt Didn't work out very well for him.
Got put to sleep.
And Kevin Owens then dashed into the ring, grabbed the belt, trying to stop Sami from using it.
Inevitably hit Punk with it.
Got a low blow from Sami.
A Haluva kick, which looked great, by the way.
And then one, two, three, new champion, two-time champion, Sami Zayn.
So I didn't expect it.
Anyone here expect it?
yeah go um uh they they need to do champion versus champion in that stupid pay-per-view they've got a crown jewel which will be in saudi arabia so do you really think they were going to do roman reigns versus cm punk again again for so no i was what they're going so who's going to take title for it's going to be sammy zayn they're building towards sammy taking this up so weirdly sadly i was watching this waiting for sammy
Right, so Sammy going back to Saudi as champion.
And to not do the Roman punk again, because they want to save that probably if they ever want to do that again.
They're not just going to give it away.
I think they learned that from Cody Seth, I think, the year prior.
I'm just really hoping that this means we're going to get Sammy versus Johnny Gargano at Money in the Bank.
