00:00 [Music]
00:24 Welcome to the Monday Night War. I am Luke Owen, DAD, representing Monday Night Raw.
00:30 I am Chopper P. Quinnell, representing Monday Night Smackdown,
00:34 and we're going to be playing through My GM Mode on WWE 2K22.
00:38 This video is sponsored by our friends at 2K.
00:40 Pick up your copy of WWE 2K22 by clicking the link in the video description down below,
00:46 where you can play My GM Mode with a friend of yours.
00:48 We're having an absolute ball playing it, although I am still second.
00:52 I'm just, I'm waiting for that pay-per-view, Pete. I'm waiting for the pay-per-view.
00:56 Look at that distance. Getting further and further away.
00:58 It is, like you are getting quite a lead on me at the moment.
01:01 That's nearly a hundred thousand people ahead of me,
01:04 but I just think if I can get to this pay-per-view.
01:07 If I don't beat you at the pay-per-view, I think I'm not going to win this series.
01:12 I think you're probably going to win at the pay-per-view, but it depends by how much.
01:16 Yeah, you're right.
01:17 It depends if you can make that distance up, because I mean,
01:19 this week might be a huge swing, and then suddenly you're going to be
01:21 right behind me again, and then we get to the pay-per-view,
01:23 and then you're going to get a big pay-per-view win. Maybe.
01:25 Yeah, we'll find out. We'll find out. Well, you know what?
01:27 This is the go-home episode of, insert pay-per-view name here,
01:32 TLC Extreme Rules Summer Slam.
01:36 Yes. Let's get into it.
01:38 You ready? Three, two, one. Let's go.
01:45 I'm not concerned that you're falling off the pace.
01:47 Yeah, well, I know, Tripp, I'm building to the pay-per-view.
01:50 You told me to build. Maybe the little injection of class will help turn this around.
01:53 I'm going to give you a Legend Whisperer Power Card.
01:56 Will allow you to hire any available Legend on a short-term contract.
01:59 What? Yes.
02:03 You're very welcome, Reckoning. My future champion.
02:10 I feel like I'm going to roll the season of Roar. Yes, I'd love to see it.
02:13 How about giving me a courtesy of a heads up the next time you think it's cute to show up
02:16 to one of my matches and help out my opponent? Whatever.
02:19 I don't know who you are.
02:21 I'm always wanting to do the best I could for Rob.
02:24 I'm starting to think we should go our separate ways.
02:25 I don't think she's looking to get released.
02:27 You may just get your release, mate.
02:29 I'll be honest, Tamarind Minecraft, I don't give a f***.
02:35 I've got a new campaign I can do.
02:39 Right, okay, so first off, Thunderdome.
02:42 Yeah, Thunderdome.
02:43 Road Crew.
02:44 Boom.
02:45 Big ol' light in.
02:47 Um, fans getting 6,000.
02:50 Book two superstars with less than...
02:52 Oh, I get these wrong.
02:54 Uh, f*** it, fine.
02:56 Whatever, I'll figure that out when I get to it.
02:58 Options.
02:59 Lovely stuff.
03:00 Man, it's roster.
03:01 Okay, here we go.
03:02 Right, so I'm going to do these for next week's show.
03:05 So random superstar, I'm going to need to create next week's show.
03:08 Next week's is the pay-per-view, so yes.
03:10 Random superstar, perfect.
03:11 Veto superstar applied.
03:13 And also won't be able to book his top star.
03:17 Most popular star for next week's show.
03:20 And I've got two of those as well, so that's fine.
03:22 That is for his pay-per-view.
03:23 I'm pretty sure those will apply to the pay-per-view.
03:25 I'm sure I read something about how you can't.
03:28 First legend you sign this week will be free.
03:32 So if I...
03:32 Do I need to play that?
03:34 And then I'll go and pick out my legend.
03:37 Lovely stuff.
03:40 Um, okie dokie.
03:42 Um, I'm going to do that on next week's episode, I think.
03:47 Yeah, save myself 35 grand for next week on the pay-per-view.
03:50 One randomly booked Helm of Sale match on your show will receive higher than normal rating.
03:54 I can fix a match on that Hellspire thing.
03:56 Right, I'm going to pick that up because I'm going to do a Helm of Sale match at the pay-per-view.
04:00 So that'll bump up that quality.
04:01 Wonderful.
04:02 Right, sign free agent.
04:03 Okay, right, so let's just do the default.
04:07 I got...
04:07 There's no legends!
04:11 Oh, I've already...
04:13 Oh, man!
04:27 Oh!
04:29 Oh, my...
04:31 Oh, no.
04:31 Oh, I've done it wrong.
04:34 I've done it wrong again.
04:35 How do I keep getting...
04:36 I had this in the palm of my hand.
04:37 I'm not going to do this again.
04:39 I had this in the palm of my hand and it's gone wrong for me again.
04:43 Why can't I find that there's no one there?
04:45 There's no legends to be signed and I've already played the power card.
04:49 Oh, no, no.
04:50 Someone help me.
04:52 Anyone, please.
04:54 This has gone terribly, terribly wrong for me.
04:57 And yet I cannot, I cannot let this bollocks up.
05:01 Oh, oh, no, it's in the wrong...
05:05 I'm in the wrong...
05:06 I was in the wrong area.
05:07 Okay, it's fine.
05:08 I was in the wrong area.
05:08 Rob's himself right.
05:09 I can pick one of these guys.
05:10 Oh, my gosh.
05:11 Oh, my God.
05:12 I thought something went terribly wrong there.
05:14 Oh, it's just in a different area.
05:18 Yeah, there's a sign, regular folk, and then there's a sign...
05:22 There's a sign legends bit.
05:25 I knew that.
05:28 Fine.
05:29 I was doing it all for the camera.
05:31 It's for the content.
05:33 Yeah, I knew that.
05:35 Yeah, I know how to play this game.
05:37 Right, who have I got?
05:38 I have got the Rock.
05:39 I've got Goldberg.
05:41 I could bring him.
05:41 Okay, let's sort of by popularity.
05:43 I think I'm just gonna pick the Rock, right?
05:45 Because I could bring in the Rock and have him go against Edge or something.
05:50 Yeah, I think I might do that.
05:52 Let's bring the Rock in.
05:53 He's got the biggest popularity.
05:56 Specialist.
05:58 Is that what I want to do?
06:00 Or do I want to plan for the future?
06:02 I'm gonna bring the Rock in.
06:04 Yes, lovely stuff.
06:07 Oh, and I earned a trophy as well.
06:08 Delightful scenes.
06:09 Finally, the Rock has come back to Monday Night Raw.
06:16 Pete has no idea what's coming here.
06:19 I've got the f***ing Rock.
06:20 I'm clearly gonna win this week.
06:22 Okay, journal.
06:24 Keith Lee expects to make it.
06:26 Have at least one more win.
06:29 I'm gonna go with the Rock.
06:30 I'm gonna go with the Rock.
06:30 I'm gonna go with the Rock.
06:31 I'm gonna go with the Rock.
06:32 I'm gonna go with the Rock.
06:33 Uh, have at least one Hell in a Cell match this week.
06:35 Okay, uh, cool.
06:37 Reduce the probability the Supercell become injured in a match.
06:40 Oh, that'll be good for next week as well.
06:42 Right, I need to book a show.
06:43 Okay, so here we go.
06:45 This week I have got two options.
06:48 And I think it's going to be Bianca Belair versus Raquel Gonzalez.
06:55 Um, in a normal match, interference, nothing.
07:00 That's fine.
07:00 It's Bruce from Giant.
07:01 They're not going to work great together.
07:03 Maybe make that my mid-card match.
07:05 What's my plan here?
07:06 It's going to be Lee versus Brute Force.
07:09 Lee versus Brute Force.
07:13 Normal match.
07:14 No interference.
07:16 It's fine.
07:19 Oh, Keith Lee is hurting before the pay-per-view, at least.
07:22 But I can do a card there or something.
07:24 Um, okay.
07:26 I had planned to do...
07:27 I need to up the anti-force.
07:30 Okay, if I go back and I have an interference by Alexa Bliss on...
07:36 Right, that doesn't up their thing.
07:39 So don't do that.
07:40 Off.
07:41 If I have a call-out promo Alexa Bliss on Raquel Gonzalez, that will up their rivalry.
07:48 Lovely stuff.
07:50 And Alexa Bliss has got really good promo skills.
07:51 That is good.
07:52 So that's fine.
07:53 I'm doing that.
07:53 And then I think I want to have a call-out promo of...
07:58 You know, my rivalry is already at four and four.
08:04 So in fact, do I instead want to do...
08:06 I do not want to do that.
08:09 And instead I could do a charity.
08:12 John Cena charity, because that will bring in...
08:16 Which is the one that does the...
08:19 Is it advertising?
08:23 Uh, generate extra revenue.
08:24 Which is the one that brings in fans.
08:26 X-ray the chance of lowering the Supercell's popularity.
08:30 Generate a small bonus of fans.
08:32 Okay, so I want to do the charity one for this week with Cena.
08:35 Because that's fine.
08:36 I don't need to update his thing as well.
08:37 So that's grand.
08:39 And my main event is going to be Edge versus...
08:42 Oh, they're both baby faces.
08:44 Bollocks.
08:47 Okay, well that's fine.
08:48 Let's do Randy Orton versus The Rock in a Hell in a Cell match.
08:53 No interference on this.
08:55 That's okay.
08:56 So, key there is building up that rivalry.
08:59 Bring that to three.
09:00 Um, I've still got 50 seconds left.
09:03 And it's roster.
09:05 Where is...
09:06 Uh, Samoa Joe rivalry.
09:09 I think that pays off for the pay-per-view.
09:12 So that's fine.
09:12 Um, do I just...
09:15 No, you know what?
09:16 Call out promo.
09:17 Uh, Samoa Joe calls out Brock Lesnar.
09:20 That ups their rivalry.
09:21 I think that's the...
09:22 I think that's actually more important for me to do this week than just a charity promo.
09:27 Because I need that to up.
09:28 I need that to up.
09:29 And these are fine.
09:32 So that's, uh, some bonuses there.
09:33 I don't know what the other ones are.
09:34 Um, I don't need to do any more of this.
09:39 I'm going to do that next week.
09:41 I'm going to do a Hell in a Cell for the pay-per-view.
09:42 That's one we're going to play next week as well.
09:44 Can't use that.
09:47 Um, okay, cool.
09:48 That's fine.
09:49 So I had a moment.
09:52 Cut to fine.
09:53 No, no, no, no.
09:54 Honestly, I was actually...
09:54 I was all right.
09:55 I just...
09:56 I had a moment in there.
09:57 I'll tell you when we get to the, uh, the thing.
10:00 But I thought I'd made a massive error.
10:02 Then I realized...
10:03 I did see you out the corner of my eye going...
10:05 So I started laughing.
10:08 It was great.
10:08 It's all right.
10:09 I was just being a dildo and I was in the wrong area of this...
10:12 I was in the wrong area of the menu.
10:13 Couldn't believe it.
10:14 You not know how to play this game.
10:15 I know.
10:16 Crazy.
10:16 Honestly, I was really, really upset.
10:19 And then I was really chuffed because it turns out I was just in the wrong place.
10:21 All right, I'm ready.
10:24 I wish I had a bit more time with it, but it's okay.
10:26 It's fine.
10:27 So it's grand.
10:28 That was a pretty good...
10:29 That was more or less what I wanted it to be.
10:32 Okay.
10:33 Okay.
10:33 Right.
10:33 Here we go.
10:34 I'm ready.
10:35 All right, that is seven minutes on the clock.
10:44 And three, two, one.
10:46 Let's go.
10:46 All right.
10:47 If you're one of your fans, we want to see great matches.
10:48 We also want to watch a show a lot of variety in its fights.
10:51 Yes, I know.
10:52 I did a lot of singles matches last week.
10:54 At least one tag and one solo match.
10:56 Mainline female superstars in your fights.
10:59 Use superstars representing all five fighting clusters across the match card.
11:01 Well, I can't do all of that.
11:02 Well, it happens my title shot.
11:03 You know, the one you promised you would give me.
11:04 Putting in a lot of work.
11:07 I think I've earned a shot at the title.
11:08 How about it?
11:09 You know what?
11:10 Maybe.
11:13 Uh, you get your shot within three weeks.
11:15 Yeah, yeah, yeah.
11:16 Within three weeks.
11:17 I can do that.
11:18 I can do that.
11:20 Maybe.
11:22 Major decrease.
11:27 That's another person who hates me.
11:29 What's up, bro?
11:30 Feels good to be the best.
11:31 Wouldn't you agree?
11:32 I feel like SmackDown is the best brand around and me, I'm the best superstar around.
11:35 Where's this going?
11:36 This journey has been an amazing bit of time to fill and getting lost with the crowd.
11:40 I know the WWE Universe loves me though.
11:41 How do you feel about my impact on SmackDown?
11:42 Absolutely appreciate what you bring to SmackDown.
11:44 You're one of our top stars.
11:44 In fact, I want to offer you a bonus of 50k for helping carry this brand.
11:47 I appreciate you, but despite your popularity, I can't show you special treatment.
11:50 Sneak will look in there are no favorites.
11:51 You know what?
11:52 I've got 350k.
11:54 I'll give him 50k.
11:57 He's done a great job.
11:58 They say money can't solve every problem, but it definitely helps.
12:00 Thank you, Quenell.
12:01 I'm a little shocked that you looked out for my needs this time.
12:04 Major increase to Riddler's morale.
12:05 He likes me again.
12:07 I did it, guys.
12:11 I made someone happy and all you have to do is chuck a load of money at him.
12:14 You know, they say money can't buy happiness.
12:19 Tell that to Riddle.
12:22 Okay, uh, do you want to put Slapjack in a match this week?
12:26 Injury rehab three.
12:28 Oh, I could get that.
12:30 And then I could get Baszler in for the...
12:32 Oh, no.
12:34 But, oh, no.
12:37 But I've got Slapjack in a match this week.
12:41 What one's gonna buy?
12:42 Injury rehab one.
12:43 Injury rehab two.
12:45 Reduces by two weeks and then I could have Baszler back next week, right?
12:50 Y'all.
12:52 Y'all.
12:53 One round me bucket stream rules matching a show where I receive a higher than normal rating.
12:56 I'm not gonna buy...
12:58 I kind of want to buy that in prep for the pay-per-view, but I'm not going to.
13:00 Because money is a thing.
13:03 I'm gonna buy this injury rehab though and I'm gonna play it.
13:06 Yeah, Baszler.
13:09 Baszler's been unable to be with this week's show, but she'll be back next week.
13:12 Love it.
13:14 Love it.
13:15 Love it.
13:15 Love it.
13:16 Got her back for the pay-per-view.
13:17 Thank God.
13:18 My God, that was close.
13:20 But I've got Shayna Baszler back in time for the pay-per-view.
13:25 I've just managed to get the power card to get her back in time.
13:29 We might be saved.
13:31 Still can't give Charlotte her title match.
13:33 And Becky still didn't win.
13:36 And Tony still hates me.
13:38 And Shayna still hates me.
13:39 But we got her back for the pay-per-view, where she's gonna be really low on stamina.
13:43 And I'm gonna book her in a match again.
13:44 She's gonna get injured again.
13:46 Probably.
13:46 Balls.
13:48 So I'm gonna have...
13:53 I'm gonna book the tag match I wanted to do.
13:56 Thank God.
13:58 Which is Slapjack and Bala versus Tucker and Riddle.
14:06 Is that right?
14:07 Tucker and Riddle.
14:09 Slapjack and Bala.
14:10 Two people that are in feuds.
14:12 Um, cool.
14:14 The stamina's not very good.
14:16 And this is the go-home episode for the pay-per-view.
14:18 I really should rest them, shouldn't I?
14:21 Both Tucker and Riddle, I really need rested.
14:24 It'll be fine.
14:29 Um, we're gonna have Walter do a self-promo.
14:35 Do a self-promo here.
14:36 Mid-card, we're gonna have Kingston versus Mace.
14:42 Um, they've both got a lot of stamina, so I'm gonna make it a tables match.
14:47 Sure.
14:47 Sure, sure, sure.
14:48 Um, and main event is gonna be Lynch versus Flair.
14:54 Ah, but Flair's only 60 popularity now.
14:57 I'm gonna make that the opener instead.
15:01 Yeah.
15:04 Lynch v Flair.
15:06 Stamina's fine.
15:08 I'll make that a tables match.
15:10 And I'll make this, uh, Extreme Rules.
15:14 I don't think either of them are gonna outperform just a straight tag match with these guys,
15:22 because they're so popular.
15:23 Bala, Riddle.
15:28 All their popularities are in the 70s.
15:32 Whereas you've got a 60 and a 55, so I think they're gonna drag those down,
15:37 even though there's a table in an Extreme Rules match.
15:39 Yeah, and then we're gonna do another charity promo, because I'm on fans, guys,
15:44 of Tony Storms to keep her ticking before, uh, Baza comes back next week for the pay-per-view.
15:51 Hell yes.
15:51 Um, logistics.
15:53 Let's look at these.
15:56 I'm gonna go for this one.
15:57 Um, go for this one.
16:03 Mm-hmm.
16:03 Nope.
16:05 This one.
16:09 Yeah.
16:10 Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.
16:12 Okay.
16:12 I'm still not signing any free agents.
16:16 Baza's stamina is 23.
16:19 She's gonna get injured immediately after coming back.
16:24 I'll be fine, I'm sure.
16:28 Um, but Kingston's stamina at 70 is great.
16:31 It's gonna be massively down after an Extreme Rules match this week.
16:33 Um, but then that means that hopefully next week Mason Kingston will be a level two.
16:38 I still can't blow that off at the pay-per-view, but it's what it is.
16:40 Flair and Lynch, I'm hoping that'll make it a level three rivalry,
16:44 so I can blow that off at the pay-per-view.
16:46 Tucker and Slapjack I can blow off at the pay-per-view,
16:48 and Banner and Riddle I can blow off at the pay-per-view,
16:49 so then that'll be Mason Kingston.
16:50 No, not Mason Kingston, sorry.
16:53 Flair and Lynch, Storm and Bazler, Tucker and Slapjack,
16:56 Banner and Riddle will be my pay-per-view card.
16:59 Hopefully.
16:59 Maybe.
17:01 Maybe.
17:03 Any other power cards?
17:06 No, I don't think so.
17:08 Um...
17:09 That's not good.
17:15 Uh, I think I'm done though.
17:16 I think I'm done.
17:18 Uh, I've got my optional bonuses and all that stuff.
17:20 I'm not gonna spend that much money for this week,
17:22 but that still looks like a lot of money I'm spending.
17:24 Uh, yeah, I think that's fine.
17:27 Um, we've got a lot of different...
17:28 We've got fighters, bruisers, cruisers, giant specialists.
17:30 We've got loads of stuff going on this week.
17:32 It's a really varied week.
17:33 It'll be fine, right?
17:36 Right?
17:39 Just hope that this doesn't put Lynch's stamina below 40 for next week.
17:44 That'll be fine.
17:49 It'll be fine.
17:51 How'd you get on?
17:54 It was all right.
17:55 How'd you get on?
17:56 It was all right.
17:57 Yeah?
17:57 That was okay.
17:58 Yeah.
17:58 I had a, um...
17:59 I had a really good email.
18:01 Oh, yeah?
18:02 From, uh, from one particular person who no longer hates me.
18:05 *Gasp*
18:06 You've made a friend!
18:07 I made a friend.
18:08 Who doesn't hate you anymore?
18:09 It's, uh, Riddle.
18:10 *Gasp*
18:11 And the way I did that...
18:12 I just paid him a load of money.
18:14 No!
18:14 *Laughter*
18:18 You really?
18:19 So he literally came to me and he was like, you know,
18:21 "I feel like Smackdown's a great show.
18:23 I'm such a great superstar on this show.
18:25 What do you think about my time on Smackdown?"
18:27 And my two options were, you know,
18:28 "You've been great, but I can't give you special treatment."
18:30 Or "You've been so good. Here's a £50,000 bonus."
18:32 And I was like, "Yeah, I'll do that one."
18:35 Yeah, yeah, yeah.
18:35 He hates me.
18:36 And it was like, "Major increase to Riddle's morale."
18:38 I was like, "Yes!"
18:40 Riddle!
18:40 Friends!
18:40 Riddle, you fickle f***er!
18:42 I love it!
18:43 Uh, so I'm pretty sure this week is going to make all of my rivalries,
18:52 be it the right numbers, to go into the pay-per-view.
18:54 You hope.
18:55 I hope.
18:56 Maybe the rivalries won't grow.
18:58 But actually, I think, yeah, I think this should be fine.
19:00 So this is IK Bianca Belair vs Raquel Gonzalez.
19:02 Nothing major, but it's just get them on the card.
19:06 Should be a big win for Raquel.
19:07 Raquel wins, nice.
19:07 That's right, she is my number one.
19:08 She's my big challenger.
19:09 Oh, shag!
19:11 One and a half star opener.
19:13 Shag, shag, shag.
19:14 Not great.
19:15 That's unfortunate.
19:16 So there we go.
19:16 This is calling out.
19:17 So that should now freeze this up.
19:18 Should hopefully get to level three.
19:19 Excellent promo once again.
19:21 Because that will then conclude to the pay-per-view.
19:22 Thumbs up.
19:24 Very pleased with that.
19:25 Oh, Alexa's still hurting.
19:26 I know she is, yeah.
19:27 So is Keith Lee.
19:28 I know, but I've got a power card for that, so I'm okay.
19:31 He's not going to get hurt this week.
19:32 Is that guaranteed?
19:34 Yeah, I think so.
19:36 He's under the 40 threshold.
19:37 Keith Lee wins.
19:40 Uh-oh.
19:41 He's not injured.
19:43 It's okay, I've got something to help out.
19:46 Is it because it was on amber?
19:47 So I was like, I think that's okay.
19:49 Maybe.
19:50 So yeah, that's fine.
19:51 That's also, it's better than my opener, so that's not great.
19:53 Call out promo.
19:55 That's picking up the rivalry and stuff.
19:58 Good promo.
19:58 That's fine.
19:59 Gets it up to where it needs to be.
20:00 Rivalry rose.
20:01 Rivalry rose.
20:01 Lovely stuff.
20:02 And then in my main event, it's a Hell in a Cell match.
20:04 Oh my god, I only just looked.
20:05 What?
20:06 So.
20:09 What?
20:10 Triple H came into my emails and he said,
20:13 "Look, you're getting your ass kicked by Smackdown at the moment."
20:16 Yeah.
20:17 "So here's a power card that means you can sign a legend for free."
20:20 What?
20:20 So I got to sign the legend for free.
20:23 What?
20:25 That's why I freaked out because I played the power card,
20:28 then went to sign free agents, and there were no legends there.
20:32 And I was like, oh, I've already played the power card.
20:34 Yeah.
20:34 Realizing that you have to go to a separate area to sign the legends.
20:36 Right, to sign the legends.
20:37 Right.
20:38 Yeah, so I got the rocking to be like, for free.
20:42 Yeah.
20:42 But it's because I'm doing, it's because I've lost to you so many times.
20:44 Yeah, also, Randy1's popularity is 57.
20:47 Why are you so unpopular, Randy?
20:50 What's happening with these shows?
20:52 Yeah, what is happening?
20:53 Oh, well, I'm expecting-
20:54 10 in a cell main event, though.
20:55 Yeah.
20:56 Rocky getting a big win in a four star main event.
20:59 Okay, so my show is all over the place there, but that's absolutely fine.
21:03 All right.
21:03 The Rock's here.
21:04 And on Smacky D's.
21:05 Oh, look.
21:06 Beckham and Charlotte Flair and the tables opener.
21:08 Yep.
21:09 Because-
21:09 This doesn't look like it's gonna further that rivalry of theirs either.
21:13 You know, it tells you when you book the match, right?
21:17 But why?
21:18 I don't know.
21:20 But why doesn't it further it?
21:21 Because sometimes singles matches do.
21:23 Yeah.
21:23 So why doesn't this?
21:25 Confusion.
21:28 That's what that is.
21:28 Anyway, I was hoping this would rivalry the row to a level three,
21:34 so then I could blow it off at the pay-per-view.
21:36 Yeah, I did it.
21:37 Oh, you did.
21:37 I did it.
21:38 Lovely stuff.
21:38 Oh, thank God.
21:39 Okay, three and a half star opener as well.
21:40 That's good.
21:40 Okay, so-
21:41 Yeah, so I wanted them to be level three, so I could blow that off at the pay-per-view.
21:43 Perfect.
21:44 Great.
21:44 And I really hope, because Lynch was on 54 stamina in a tables match,
21:47 so now I'm really hoping that she's not below 40 for the pay-per-view.
21:50 That would be great.
21:51 Walter's doing a self-promo because he's still kind of hurting a little bit,
21:54 and also his popularity could do with a little boost.
21:56 Yeah, yeah.
21:56 So, okay.
21:58 Jesus Christ.
21:59 Well, that was worth it, Pete.
22:01 Why?
22:04 Why?
22:04 Why?
22:05 Why does Luke always get excellent promos and I've never got anything more than good?
22:10 Because I've got good talkers.
22:11 He's got four.
22:13 Four promo skill.
22:14 Well, you know-
22:15 Four!
22:15 Sometimes it's just, you know, it's how you motivate your talent, Pete.
22:18 Ridiculous.
22:19 Yeah, I should just pay them more.
22:21 It's what- it works for Riddle.
22:22 Well, I was going to say that's your method, mate.
22:24 I'm not supposed to pay any of my stars any extra money.
22:26 Extreme rules match between Kingston and Mace.
22:30 Title's not on the line.
22:31 Title's not on the line.
22:32 For this massive few that you've got.
22:34 They're a level one rivalry.
22:36 I'm not going to blow it off for the pay-per-view, so I'll do it another time.
22:39 Whatever.
22:39 I don't want Mace to win the title.
22:40 Oh, man.
22:41 Why does it feel like your WWE Championship is the least important thing on your show currently?
22:45 Yep.
22:45 Don't matter.
22:46 I've got Slak- I was about to say Slucker.
22:48 Slap Jack and Tucker.
22:49 Slucker!
22:50 Slucker!
22:50 Their tag team name.
22:52 It's great.
22:52 Okay.
22:52 Kingston vs Mace.
22:54 Extreme rules.
22:54 Kingston's fine.
22:56 He's got like 70 stamina.
22:57 He'll be great.
22:58 That's because you're not booking him at the moment, huh?
22:59 You're a little bored of him.
23:01 Three and a half star mid.
23:02 Level two rivalry rows.
23:05 Not bad.
23:05 Not bad.
23:05 Good match again.
23:06 What was my opponent?
23:07 Was it three and a half as well?
23:08 I think it was, yeah.
23:09 You're on for another good week here.
23:10 Uh-oh.
23:10 I was thinking, I was like,
23:12 "These guys' popularity is nowhere near as good as the four guys in the main event."
23:15 So I don't think it's going to be as good, but I think it might be better.
23:18 Tony Storm doing a charity promo because I want fans.
23:20 Yep.
23:21 And also Mace is still out.
23:23 So there's that.
23:24 Excellent promo!
23:26 There you go.
23:26 Finally.
23:27 Yeah.
23:27 I'm happy now.
23:29 No.
23:29 More excellent promos.
23:30 Give me more.
23:31 And the main event, Bauer and Slap Jack versus Riddle and Tucker.
23:35 Okay.
23:36 All the popularities are massive.
23:37 So I was like, "You know what?
23:38 This is going to be a huge tag team main event.
23:39 I don't need to put a stipulation on it."
23:41 Also because they're hurting the week before a pay-per-view.
23:44 So there's that.
23:45 Bauer and Slap Jack, Riddle and Tucker.
23:46 It is the heel.
23:48 Slap Jack and Bauer getting the win.
23:50 Three star main event.
23:52 And a new rivalry has started.
23:53 Well, that's irrelevant.
23:54 Man.
23:56 Turns out that doing stipulations really helps other matches.
24:00 Yeah, it turns out, mate.
24:01 Yeah, really should have been your main event, shouldn't it?
24:03 That Extreme Rules match with your WWE champion.
24:06 S***.
24:07 Or the Universal Champion, I suppose.
24:09 Right, here we go.
24:10 Poor opening.
24:11 Yeah, no, that was...
24:12 I didn't expect that to be a one and a half stars, man.
24:14 It's actually worse than I thought.
24:16 I mean, my main event's going to be bad as well.
24:18 My booking, so...
24:19 That's fine.
24:20 Level three, level four.
24:20 Perfect.
24:21 That was...
24:21 You know what?
24:22 I got what I wanted out of that.
24:23 So that's okay.
24:24 And then you've got...
24:25 I went for level three, which is good.
24:26 What I wanted.
24:27 Yeah, level two.
24:28 New thing there.
24:29 Perfect.
24:29 Both those guys were at level four already.
24:32 Yep, that's fine.
24:33 So that's okay.
24:34 Bauer and Slap Jack.
24:35 No injuries across the board before the pay-per-view.
24:38 So that is also very good.
24:39 37,000 fans.
24:43 37,000 fans.
24:44 Not a great show, which I thought would be better without the f***ing Rock on it.
24:47 Holographic, the Rock is back and on Raw.
24:48 Great seeing him back in the ring again.
24:50 Hey, Raw, whatever happened to the rivalry between Reckoning and Bianca Belair?
24:52 It's the last week's show, man.
24:55 Let them fight.
24:56 They've not been fighting.
24:57 It's the f***ing pay-per-view next week.
24:59 Let them fight.
24:59 Um, I love watching Keith Lee fight, but he's looking tired.
25:02 Yeah, I know.
25:04 Well, I'm a bit worried about that.
25:05 Raw making a good pickup with The Rock.
25:09 I don't know what Raw was thinking of that opening match.
25:10 Yep, that's absolutely right.
25:12 We're just starting with Brute Force and Lee.
25:14 Lee sells the score.
25:15 Someone like Bianca Belair is always going to be second best when facing a real superstar
25:18 like me in the ring.
25:19 I was surprised that Randy Orton lost to The Rock.
25:21 Keith Lee getting pushed a lot lately on Raw.
25:25 It's because he's one of my boys.
25:26 Yep.
25:26 Happy to fight you anytime, Joe.
25:28 Only one way it ends.
25:29 That's right, Brock.
25:30 At the pay-per-view.
25:31 Yep, show match two.
25:32 So pre-match physio.
25:34 So I mean, I can heal on my people and still use them.
25:38 Oh, that's nice.
25:38 That's what I was, that was my commissioning goal.
25:40 Book a Hell in a Cell match.
25:41 Oh, crikey.
25:42 Which is why I did the Hell in a Cell match in the main event.
25:44 Yeah, no, that makes sense.
25:45 So yeah, ranking number two.
25:46 That's to be expected.
25:47 I'm building to the pay-per-view.
25:49 God, I hope that pay-per-view f***ing pays off.
25:52 I really hope I've got more than 37,000 so that gap gets even bigger.
25:56 Yeah.
25:56 Let's find out.
25:56 I mean, you might do, because you had a much better show than me.
25:58 45,000.
26:01 Nice, nice, nice, nice, nice, nice.
26:02 All right.
26:03 Oh, only a 15 grand profit there.
26:05 It's fine.
26:06 Mace is such a natural in extreme rules matches.
26:10 Slapjack and Bala work really well together as a tag team as well.
26:14 Mace, extreme rules.
26:17 Okay, and Slapjack and Bala.
26:20 Slapala.
26:23 Slapala.
26:25 Yep, that's the name now.
26:26 A great Smackdown tonight, good matches, really solid contest between Mace and KB Kingston.
26:29 Not Baljack.
26:31 That's so much worse.
26:32 Really solid contest between Mace and KB Kingston.
26:36 Love it when contrasting classes mesh like this.
26:38 Look at this from chair cyborg stream.
26:40 Slapjack is the reason to watch Smackdown.
26:43 Why doesn't he get a title match already?
26:45 A great question.
26:46 He might after the pay-per-view, so we'll see.
26:49 What a fluke, try me again, Kofi Kingston.
26:52 I hate to see Mace lose, but props to Kofi Kingston for a good win.
26:55 Great match, Charlotte Flair.
26:57 Looking forward to stepping in the ring with you again.
26:58 Slapjack gets payback on Tucker.
27:00 Love this rivalry.
27:01 Yeah, I mean, it's your biggest thing on the show, man.
27:03 It really is.
27:04 It really is.
27:05 Legitimately might be my main event on the pay-per-view.
27:08 I think it should be.
27:09 We'll see.
27:09 I need to actually look at my popularity with my people.
27:11 Ranking number one, I didn't do my commissioner goal again
27:13 because it was don't have Slapjack wrestle.
27:17 And I was like, I can't not.
27:19 I need him.
27:20 He's my big draw.
27:21 Yeah.
27:21 So going into the pay-per-view.
27:23 I am now so close to 100,000 fans in front of you.
27:27 Yeah, that's big.
27:28 That's what?
27:29 So the maths, 10, 17,000 off 100k.
27:35 So 83,000 in front.
27:38 Is that maths?
27:39 I didn't do very well at school.
27:42 83,000 fans.
27:43 That's what we're going to say in front.
27:44 I need, I've got a pretty big pay-per-view card.
27:48 This is the first time, because I didn't do this in the first five shows.
27:52 Because I had nothing to finish at the pay-per-view.
27:55 Like I'm still in all of my starting feuds that I had
27:57 when we started this show like nine weeks ago.
27:59 Yeah.
28:00 So I've now used the last four weeks to play the game, I guess.
28:04 And actually build rivalries.
28:05 We're starting to learn.
28:06 Yeah.
28:07 I feel like I'm now getting the game.
28:09 And it may spectacularly blow up in my face when it comes to the pay-per-view.
28:13 If this pay-per-view doesn't work, I don't know what I'm going to do.
28:16 Well, let's find out next week.
28:19 There's been a rough few weeks here for me for SmackDown.
28:24 But still number one.
28:26 I've been increasing the gap between us, which is great.
28:28 And I've got Baszler back now in time for the pay-per-view.
28:31 That's great.
28:32 So I've got all my top stars.
28:33 I've got my rivalries that I can blow off.
28:35 So I should be okay in time for the pay-per-view.
28:38 Hopefully.
28:40 Not even The Rock can get me first place.
28:43 But next week, next week's the pay-per-view.
28:46 Next week's the pay-per-view, Pete.
28:48 Next week.
28:48 Next week, my rivalries have grown.
28:52 I am going to dominate next week.
28:54 But hopefully.
28:56 I'm pretty sure I will.
28:58 I'll play the power card, surely.
29:00 Surely next week is my week.
29:02 Indeed, it is the pay-per-view next week.
29:08 I've also checked it's TLC.
29:10 So that is going to be the show next week.
29:14 I'm excited.
29:15 Man, I need this card to work.
29:20 I also need my card to work slightly better, please.
29:23 That'd be great.
29:24 So find out whether or not it does work in next week's episode.
29:28 Thank you so much for watching the Monday Night War.
29:30 And thank you to 2K22 for sponsoring this video.
29:33 Please do click the link in the video description down below
29:35 to pick up your copy of the game today.
29:38 But until next week on the pay-per-view episode,
29:41 I have been Luke Owen, DAD, representing Monday Night Raw.
29:45 And I've been Chopper Pete Quinnell, representing Monday Night Smackdown.
29:48 And that was the Monday Night War.
29:49 I got it right!
29:50 You did it!
29:50 I got it right!
29:51 Jam that jam!
29:53 [outro music]
