Man idk who could replace Ron when it comes to these cold opens I get so hyped everytime😂😭when him and Bruce retire it’s gonna be hard to replace them

[@RyuRaza]

Joe Biden is the best replacement

[@leflopjames5628]

@RyuRaza I'd prefer Trump, you just know he'd rape the mic.

[@IIBLaCKBeaRDII]

Not hard at all, there will be an Artificial Intelligent Bruce Buffer doing the ring announcing once he retires.
