A listener calls into the show and points out that nothing at WrestleMania will be able to follow Nakamura/A.J. Styles, so this match should close the show. Taz admits that if Nakamura and Styles are given free reign to have a legitimate main event quality match, they’ll definitely tear the house down. Regardless, he thinks RAW takes priority over Smackdown, which means Lesnar will be main-eventing WrestleMania yet again.
Taz welcomes Mike Johnson from PWInsider to the show.
Johnson informs that he was live at the building for the Royal Rumble last night. He thought the crowd was fine for the most part, but there’s no doubt that they were more into the two Rumble matches than the other matches on the card. Johnson liked the end of the men’s Rumble match, but Taz says he doesn’t think John Cena should have been in the final four.
Johnson understands that some people may take issue with the fact that Ronda Rousey took Asuka’s moment away at the end of the show, but he points out that this was not that much different than when someone like The Rock came back for WrestleMania, taking the spot of a full-time talent who had been on the road busting their butts all year long.
