⭐️Kayhan: eye patch. rofl!! love it! i found damian’s promo enjoyable as well. i actually am fond it this wrestlemania feud. i think they made the best of these two being left out of the title scene. and they do have unfinished business, so why not? bigger and better things

⭐️Kayhan: Wade: "I Have been volunteered to moderate this interview..." lol... Tiffany got some pretty damn good stuff in here...
⭐️Vlad: Wtf was going on here?
⭐️Robert: Wow! Charlotte Flair's promo stumbled worse than the stock market did. As a professional who's been around for a while, she should have been able to better deal with the crowd.
⭐️Kayhan: Well we discussed this in depth on the podcast. i guess i had an uncommon take that they sent Charlotte out there to bomb on purpose, to make Tiffany look good, cause she really needed it! but who knows? more in depth discussion on episode #155 of the Malapert Smark Podcast.
