Edge & Christian welcome Mauro Ranallo to the show.
Ranallo says he thinks Ronda Rousey has taken to professional wrestling like a duck to water. He also calls Alexa Bliss “money”, so although Sunday night could be Rousey’s time, Bliss is so good that it wouldn’t surprise him to see her hold onto that RAW Women’s Title for a little while longer.
Edge notes that fans are really behind Becky Lynch as well. Ranallo says that Lynch has the “It Factor”, Charlotte Flair continues to excel even though she’s in the shadow of her father’s name, and Carmella has continuously improved since joining the main roster. He points out that Carmella is the last of the trio she debuted with in NXT, and nobody could have seen that coming.
Ranallo points out that the WWE Title match is a hardcore fan’s dream match, as A.J. Styles and Samoa Joe will do battle. On the other hand, some hardcore fans are likely to hijack the Universal Title match between Roman Reigns and Brock Lesnar. Ranallo and Edge mention that they’re looking forward to both matches.
Ranallo says his broadcast and commentary career has taken him to places he never could have imagined. He truly loves what he’s doing, and he’s thrilled to be able to live his dream. He notes that life isn’t guaranteed and it could be over at any moment, so he’s determined to chase his dreams.
