Ross congratulates Seth Rollins on winning the Men’s Royal Rumble match, setting up a WrestleMania match against Brock Lesnar. Ross predicts that match will go on somewhere in the middle of the show in order to separate it from the main event which will more than likely feature Rousey, Lynch, and Charlotte.

A listener writes into the show and asks Ross if announcers continue to commentate over matches when the show goes to commercial. Ross says he can’t speak of WWE’s current policy, but when he worked there he’d take a break during the commercials and just watch the match.

Another listener writes into the show and asks Ross if he enjoyed his time commentating alongside Vince McMahon and Jerry Lawler in the early/mid-1990s. Ross says he really enjoyed working in that 3-man booth and he thought they were quite entertaining. He notes that it was easy to work with McMahon as the play-by-play man because he was writing the scripts.
