Wwe’s worked with smosh before and Anthony’s interviews are really good tbh it’s no surprise to me that they’d let him do an interview with some of the superstars

[@lesliebow0217]

When Bianca uses her hair as a whip after someone grabs her hair its absolutely shocking the first time you see it because it leaves bruises and whip marks on the person.

[@clapz8380]

Yeah she definitely likes to use her hair whip as a weapon 😭😂

[@ElectricalFlare7201]

That lash mark she left on Sasha at Wrestlemania a few years back looked so painful lol

[@SyxxPunk]

And the SOUND

[@TryZaWarudo]

Montez ford needs a main title run. He is so versatile and entertaining. He can jump, he can do moves, he can run, he can talk. He is the full package wwe superstar. He needs a main event championship push.

[@Albert_YTC]

Agreed

Yes. Montez is on the list for main title. That is why he put under Bobby Lashley as he is the one who expected to receive the torch

[@tenderbri888]

i've been waiting for the day! he's got so much main event potential

[@Gcool243]

They need to build him up, but he can definitely do it. I can imagine something happening that makes him snap, he stops joking around so much, and starts just attacking people. It could work for sure

This was a pretty neat episode. As a WWE fan, all the little details about how a match is put together and behind-the-scenes stuff was pretty cool to hear. If you can get Becky Lynch and Seth Rollins on the show, that would be a pretty interesting video

Bianca's still a relatively fresh face, but she's already well on track to being/becoming the greatEST female wrestler. At least outside Japan. Can't really draw comparisons, it's a different world. Montez is a cool, fun, random as hell, unique character guy and does the best top rope splash the industry has ever seen. His interview bombs and quirky randomness are some of the most entertaining stuff in the modern day WWE. GoAT-E E E E EEEEEEE... EEEEEE!!!

[@jessepinkeye2339]
