00:00 Big WWE plans have been leaked, The Rock's new heel persona revealed, and my review of

00:05 WWE Raw.

00:06 I'm Luke Owen and this is the WrestleTalk News.

00:15 We are only a couple of weeks away from Elimination Chamber from Perth, Australia which will start

00:21 at 2am in the US.

00:23 Yeah, let's see how you like it.

00:25 While the show is missing some of the company's biggest names like Roman Reigns, The Rock,

00:29 Seth Rollins and CM Punk, it will have two Elimination Chamber matches which will set

00:34 up title matches for WrestleMania.

00:36 The men's match has Drew McIntyre, Randy Orton, Bobby Lashley and LA Knight already

00:41 confirmed with two more spots to be filled, which will be determined on Smackdown as The

00:45 Miz takes on Logan Paul and Kevin Owens faces Dominik Mysterio.

00:48 Over on the women's side of things we currently have Becky Lynch, Bianca Belair and Liv Morgan

00:52 qualified with three spots open.

00:54 Two of those will be filled with qualifying matches as Shotzi takes on Tiffany Stratton

00:58 and Naomi faces Zelina Vega, with the final slot being determined next week on Raw in

01:03 a Last Chance Battle Royal with the losers of the previous qualifiers and a few other

01:07 names like Candice LeRae, Indi Hartwell and Chelsea Green.

01:10 However, we may now know who those spots are going to be taken by.

01:15 Because WWE.com accidentally told us.

01:18 WWE's own website posted a preview of the Elimination Chamber briefly before taking

01:23 it down.

01:24 And we're going to tell you what that preview was now, so this is your official spoiler

01:28 warning.

01:29 Click the timestamp down below to skip it.

01:31 Right, are you all gone?

01:33 Was that enough time?

01:34 Did we give them enough time?

01:36 Okay, right, here comes the result.

01:39 It's Kazuchika Okada.

01:41 Lol JK, it's Jade Cargill.

01:43 Naomi and Stratton are set to win their qualifiers as they're also shown on the preview, so

01:47 it looks like Jade Cargill will be the surprise entrant in the Last Chance Battle Royal.

01:50 PWInsider recently reported that Cargill will be joining the Smackdown roster moving forward,

01:55 so what do you think of this potential line-up for the Women's Elimination Chamber, and

01:59 who would you have win it?

02:00 Let me know in the comments down below.

02:02 In other WWE news, both The Rock and Roman Reigns are set to be on Smackdown this week

02:07 following the WrestleMania kick-off press conference, where Rocky showed off his Powerpoint

02:11 presentation, turned heel, joined the Bloodline, slapped Cody Rhodes and started a power struggle

02:15 feud with Triple H. Boy, that escalated quickly.

02:19 Rock has since confirmed this was definitely a heel turn for him, which had fans wondering

02:23 if he would channel his successful heel gimmick of Hollywood Rock from 2003.

02:27 Except this time, actually being a Hollywood megastar.

02:30 Because in 2003 he'd only really starred in The Mummy Returns and The Scorpion King,

02:34 whereas now he's literally in every movie ever.

02:37 That doesn't even include the movies that haven't been made yet, but he still says

02:40 he's going to do.

02:41 Come on, that big trouble in Little China movie is not going to get made.

02:45 Stop pretending like it is.

02:46 And those fans who wanted the return of Hollywood Rock might be in luck, as WrestleVotes is

02:51 reporting that The Rock is expected to fully embrace his heel turn, drawing inspiration

02:56 from his past Hollywood Rock persona.

02:58 Let's just hope this one also includes the Return of The Rock concert.

03:02 And from one Rocky to another.

03:04 Rocky Romero, who has previously been credited with helping AEW forge partnerships with both

03:08 New Japan Pro Wrestling and CMLL - including putting together that first Forbidden Door

03:12 event - is now reportedly part of AEW's front office according to Dave Meltzer, which

03:17 was also corroborated by Sean Ross Sapp on Twitter.

03:20 Rocky is also one of the top minds behind New Japan Strong in the US, and while his

03:24 specific role in AEW is yet to be revealed, his presence is no doubt a boon to the company

03:30 considering his deep ties to multiple promotions - including places like MLW where he's the

03:35 current World Middleweight Champion.

03:37 But in advance of Elimination Chamber next weekend, we did a list on parts for unknown

03:41 this past weekend looking at the 12 times WWE got the Chamber right.

03:46 Here's a clip.

03:53 So now it's time for my review of Monday Night Raw, aka the Quick

04:16 Use That Thing from Men In Black that'll make people forget about that one episode

04:19 of Smackdown edition of Monday Night Raw… in about 5 minutes.

04:23 The show took place from Kentucky so everyone keep their eyes out for Sean Ross Sapp at

04:26 ringside, and opened with New Day and Jey Uso taking on Imperium in a decent little

04:30 trios match that really picked up once Jey got the second hot tag.

04:34 The whole match was built around Jey getting in the ring to face off with Gunther, and

04:38 it was worth the wait.

04:39 Jey was on fire, Gunther was superb as he always is, and the crowd lapped it up.

04:45 In the end, Jey hit the spear on Giovanni Vinci for the win.

04:48 Later in the show, Cathy Kelly announced that Jey Uso will face Gunther for the ICY title

04:52 next week on Raw.

04:54 We got a video package for Andrade - I'll be honest, I'd forgotten he'd returned

04:57 to WWE - and Bobby Lashley took on Bronson Reed for a spot in the Elimination Chamber.

05:01 Oh right, I know how this one goes.

05:04 I've seen this record before.

05:05 Lashley will have the match won, but then the Wish.com ministry will get involved and

05:09 cause a distraction allowing The Aussie to get the win and get the big match in Australia.

05:13 You see, I'm a smart fan and I know these things.

05:18 Anyway, Lashley hit the spear and won.

05:21 Oh.

05:22 Fair enough.

05:23 I've got to say, I'm genuinely surprised.

05:28 Jackie Redman took on Sami Zayn in another Empty Arena match, with Sami saying that while

05:32 he feels embarrassed about his recent losses, he believes in himself and the crowd believes

05:37 in him too.

05:38 Shinsuke Nakamura cut a video promo on him to hype their main event that Sami is 100%

05:43 losing.

05:44 Cody Rhodes came out for a promo next which can simply be summed up as "Ignore that

05:47 Smackdown promo from a couple of weeks ago, Cody was always going to face Roman, it was

05:51 always the plan.

05:53 Move along people, there's nothing to see here."

05:56 I'm being glib because that's what people come here for, because this was a great promo

06:00 segment - especially from Seth Rollins.

06:02 Cody said the reason he picked Roman Reigns for WrestleMania is because, well, the fans

06:07 told him he should.

06:08 But he doesn't want to get emotional because that would make him a Cody Crybaby.

06:12 Seth Rollins came out and Cody thanked him for having his back, and Rollins brilliantly

06:15 replied with "Well, what can I say, but you're welcome."

06:19 Dunno about you, but I popped.

06:21 He told Cody that now he needs to finish the story because if he doesn't, then Roman

06:25 may never drop the belt.

06:27 Help us Cody, you're the fans' only hope.

06:30 But what's your plan?

06:31 You got screwed last year because of Heyman, Jimmy and Solo and they're still here and

06:36 now The Rock's with them.

06:37 But here's a plan for you.

06:39 You don't have to do this alone.

06:40 You see, I created this monster in Roman Reigns years ago when we debuted in Flak Jackets,

06:45 and I know him better than anyone.

06:46 So when it comes to fighting the Bloodline, you'll need a shield.

06:50 It wasn't just a great promo, it was delivered with pure conviction, passion and heart.

06:55 I am very much sold on the tag match for Night One of Mania 40.

06:59 Liv Morgan beat Zoey Stark in a Chamber Qualifier match, and R-Truth took on JD McDonough with

07:03 Judgment Day at ringside.

07:05 Oh, I know how this goes, I've seen this record before.

07:09 Truth gets the shock win over the Judgment Day B-Team member, then the heels beat him

07:13 up and The Miz runs down to make the save.

07:15 You see, I'm a smart fan, and I know these things.

07:19 Anyway, JD hit his finish and pinned Truth clean, and then DIY made the save.

07:23 Oh.

07:24 Oh, well.

07:25 Oh.

07:26 Yeah.

07:27 Fair enough.

07:28 Gotta say, I'm genuinely surprised.

07:32 Truth thanked DIY backstage, confusing them for DX, and an eight-man tag will take place

07:36 next week.

07:37 A few celebrities I don't recognise posed for the WWE Championship at the Superb Owl

07:41 events, and Becky Lynch came out for a promo talking about the sacrifices she's made

07:45 to get to where she is - even missing her father's funeral.

07:48 But she's being a good role model for her kid, and she looks forward to beating Rhea

07:52 at Mania once she's won the Chamber.

07:55 Nia Jax came out to say that she's going to be the one to beat Rhea, which brought

07:58 out Mami to chase Jax off - a decent promo segment that hyped three different matches.

08:03 Drew cut a backstage promo saying that he'll hurt Cody Rhodes in their match next week,

08:06 and LA Knight beat Ivar in the Chamber Qualifier.

08:09 Crowd were in tonight's entrance, but not so much the match itself.

08:12 They promoted that Last Chance Battle Royal with some great Chelsea Green comedy, and

08:16 the main event saw Shinsuke Nakamura beat Sami Zayn after a distraction by Drew McIntyre.

08:20 NXT TakeOver Dallas was not.

08:22 Cody Rhodes made the same after the match, and it capped off a pretty good edition of

08:26 Monday Night Raw.

08:27 The wrestling was so-so, but it advanced the Chamber matches, built a few Mania matches,

08:31 and had some good promo work.

08:32 This week's Raw is 3 out of 5.

08:34 Now go and check out that parts of unknown list where Tempest looks at the 12 times WWE

08:39 got the Elimination Chamber right.
