Solomonster Sounds Off

Solomonster reviews WWE Monday Night Raw for December 18th with Gunther and Miz having a banger of a match for the Intercontinental championship, and TWO tag team title matches, including new champions crowned on the ladies side. Plus, Seth Rollins and Drew McIntyre have a conversation that leads to physicality ahead of their DAY ONE match, and no CM Punk on the show now that he has already declared for the Royal Rumble and, frankly, there wasn't anything for him to really do anyway. Oh, and Kofi Claus showed up to give presents to all the people who have been nice this year. Where's my gift?***Follow Solomonster on Twitter for news and opinion:http://www.twitter.com/solomonsterSubscribe to the Solomonster Sounds Off on YouTube:https://www.youtube.com/user/TheSolomonster?sub_confirmation=1Become a Solomonster Sounds Off Channel Member:https://www.youtube.com/channel/UC9jcg7mk93fGNqWPMfl_Aig/join

With reports this week of a meeting between WWE officials and Warner Brothers Discovery executives about the future of Monday Night Raw, this should be most concerning to Tony Khan... and frankly, to all wrestling fans. I'll explain why, as well how CM Punk may have helped open a door that was previously thought to be closed, what WWE is looking to be paid for Raw, how the NBA media rights could have a direct impact on the situation, why Raw on TNT or TBS would not mean DEATH for AEW, but it could mean a very different AEW and Tony Khan's comments about it from the Final Battle media scrum. PLUS... WWE and MLW reach a settlement in their antitrust lawsuit... why CM Punk and Seth Rollins need each other to achieve their ultimate objective, and thoughts on the comparisons between Seth's promo on Raw and Hangman Page's promo on Punk last year leading into Double or Nothing... the latest details on Liv Morgan's arrest this week... Cody Rhodes says MJF will end up in WWE one day... Charlotte Flair out NINE MONTHS with a devastating injury at the worst possible time, what it could mean for Bianca Belair at Wrestlemania and how Tiffany Stratton could be involved... two BIG names return on Smackdown and where it all may be leading at the Royal Rumble... Kenny Omega out INDEFINITELY and in the hospital with diverticulitis, how long he's been sick and the ridiculous reason people claimed this is KARMA for him... fake outrage over a tweet by a FOX employee and Mark Briscoe's rational, adult response to the whole thing... and YOUR QUESTIONS on Damian Priest cashing in his Money in the Bank, Ken Shamrock making a cameo in the Royal Rumble, the most protected heel in the wrestling business, the celebrity inductee for the 2024 Hall of Fame and how I would've booked Bret Hart's WCW debut and first year in the company.***Follow Solomonster on Twitter for news and opinion:http://www.twitter.com/solomonsterSubscribe to the Solomonster Sounds Off on YouTube:https://www.youtube.com/user/TheSolomonster?sub_confirmation=1Become a Solomonster Sounds Off Channel Member:https://www.youtube.com/channel/UC9jcg7mk93fGNqWPMfl_Aig/join

Thanks to BetterHelp for sponsoring this week's episode!Solomonster reviews WWE Monday Night Raw for December 11th with a hot face-to-face between CM Punk and Seth Rollins, previewing one of our likely Wrestlemania main events in 2024. Punk has signed with Raw and declared himself for the Royal Rumble match, joining Cody Rhodes who wrestled Shinsuke Nakamura in the main event of this show. Let's break it all down, including the comparisons of the Rollins promo to the Hangman Page promo on Punk in AEW and the biggest difference between the two.***Follow Solomonster on Twitter for news and opinion:http://www.twitter.com/solomonsterSubscribe to the Solomonster Sounds Off on YouTube:https://www.youtube.com/user/TheSolomonster?sub_confirmation=1Become a Solomonster Sounds Off Channel Member:https://www.youtube.com/channel/UC9jcg7mk93fGNqWPMfl_Aig/join

Thanks to BetterHelp for sponsoring this week's episode!CM Punk went out on Smackdown and cut the promo most people were waiting for, making his mission statement clear as it relates to the Royal Rumble. Seth Rollins also spoke to Sports Illustrated and threw more gasoline on the fire in his "feud" with Punk, and all roads lead to Wrestlemania. Solomonster maps it all out and explains why WWE is very fortunate right now to be so strong on their babyface side, in a way they haven't been in many years. He also addresses the latest report on Okada becoming a free agent and considering a jump to WWE or AEW, as well as his shocking return to TNA Wrestling in January... another potential big defection coming soon, this time from the Knockouts division in Impact... it's the END OF AN ERA for WWE Home Video and thoughts on the decline of the physical media category... how AEW has completely dropped the ball with Konosuke Takeshita and why they cannot do the same with Swerve Strickland... reacting to a Peter Rosenberg clip talking about Tony Khan becoming what Vince McMahon once was, why he's wrong and what the REAL advantage was that AEW had over WWE for a lot of talent and fans that they no longer do... a full review for NXT DEADLINE with an appearance by CM Punk, a new North American champion crowned, the Iron Survivor Challenge winners and the story of what killed Baron Corbin's push in 2017 when he hit rockbottom with his failed MITB cash-in... then it's a FAT ASS MAILBAG with tons of questions on Godzilla Minus One, how to get Cody Rhodes to Roman Reigns without winning the Royal Rumble, why Seth Rollins vs. CM Punk DOES need the championship to headline Night One, the return of Sasha Banks to WWE, taking Tammy Sytch out of the Hall of Fame, Gunther dropping the IC title in a LADDER MATCH, why Tamina Snuka was never booked to be Women's champion and a potential WWE Hall of Fame class for 2024.

Outside of the Punk promo, it was a very missable episode with two first round matches in the US Title tournament and a possible injury to Charlotte Flair.***Follow Solomonster on Twitter for news and opinion:http://www.twitter.com/solomonsterSubscribe to the Solomonster Sounds Off on YouTube:https://www.youtube.com/user/TheSolomonster?sub_confirmation=1Become a Solomonster Sounds Off Channel Member:https://www.youtube.com/channel/UC9jcg7mk93fGNqWPMfl_Aig/join

If you listened to me two weeks ago, you knew that Nick Wayne's mother was going to get involved and go heel, and while it did make sense for her to do what she did, I still can't help but roll my eyes that Nick Wayne's mother played a role in the finish of the first Edge and Christian match in an AEW ring.***Follow Solomonster on Twitter for news and opinion:http://www.twitter.com/solomonsterSubscribe to the Solomonster Sounds Off on YouTube:https://www.youtube.com/user/TheSolomonster?sub_confirmation=1Become a Solomonster Sounds Off Channel Member:https://www.youtube.com/channel/UC9jcg7mk93fGNqWPMfl_Aig/join
