What emotional moments defined AJ Styles' tribute on Raw?
Welcome to the special snow day edition. I feel like we've already done this like three weeks ago, but another snow day edition of raw recap on WWE. Now it of course is a fanatics and WWE original production. We are coming off. Megan, of a Monday Night Raw that I think we assumed would be emotional. I didn't quite know what I would be feeling. Of course, when they announced it would be the AJ Styles tribute. And you kind of looked at the clock as you were watching the show and you realized, okay, that's probably what they're going to end the show with, especially when the women's three-way started. And you're going, huh, like this could be a real... a real tearjerker. You know, you go back to Saturday night's main event and John Cena kind of walking past the aisle way that one final time and kind of touching the walls as he went.
So I didn't quite know what I was going to get. And we, and we get in there and, and, and AJ has this wonderfully emotional speech about, And then, boom, the announcement comes and my fears of starting this show with big, teary red eyes went away because I honestly don't know how you could walk away from tonight's Raw without a giant smile across your face.
Oh, absolutely. I'm so happy for AJ Styles. And, you know, since we have the snowstorm, this is the first time in a while that we weren't watching Monday Night Raw together. And so as soon as I saw The Undertaker come out, I immediately got excited because I said, oh my gosh, is this really going to happen? And I was thinking, I bet Sam thinks that AJ Styles is joining DX.
What?
That's because I thought maybe that's what we were going to get at WrestlePalooza.
That's right.
With The Undertaker and Stephanie McMahon. That was a complete... No, I honestly... I didn't know... Okay, I'm going to walk you through my thought process here when this happened, okay? Because The Undertaker... We get the dong, you know? And usually, by the way, the falsy ending is a lot of times not the best news for everybody involved. You get the falsy ending and either something dangerous or something big, it's usually not... A feel good moment, even when you got the falsie ending and it ended up being the return of CM Punk. Like that was a great moment for fans. But like Seth Rollins is in war games and he's cursing and Drew McIntyre is upset. Like something is going on there. We got the falsie ending here and it was just feel good.
But I see. OK, so the dong hits after the credits have already popped up. And at first I go, okay, that's just like a note to say, well, you didn't know The Undertaker would be here. The entire roster is out there on the stage for AJ. But now The Undertaker is here as well. I go, okay, that's amazing. Then he rides the bike to the ring. And I go, oh.
How did The Undertaker's appearance impact AJ Styles' farewell?
But then he sat on the bike. And he sat on the bike and he looked to the ring and just kind of observed AJ. I said, okay, maybe this is what we go out on. And then he got in the ring and he had a microphone. And he looked down at the gear on the floor and everything. And AJ wasn't holding a microphone. And AJ, I feel like, was pretty raw emotionally throughout the whole segment. Totally. Right. So I was really getting the feeling that this wasn't something that he got the Iggy on, to use a term. But then Undertaker gets in there and he kind of started talking a little bit wild. Like he was, you know, saying you and I have unfinished business and,
And Atlanta thought they were getting a match for a second.
I thought, I was like, are we like, are they springing this on AJ? Where they're like, look, I know you said you're going to retire. And I know you said, you know, that you don't want to wait for WrestleMania. You want to retire right now. But if The Undertaker were to challenge you right in the ring to a match at WrestleMania, you'd have to accept, right? And I go, there's no way that they're just doing this. And then... I think it wasn't really, and maybe I was slow, but I don't think it was until, I think AJ and I figured it out at the same time.
