Russo is joined on today’s show by his co-host Jeff Lane.

Russo opens today’s show speaking about the missed dropkick spot at the recent Ring of Honor show which featured The Young Bucks. Russo was vocal about his disapproval of this spot but he wasn’t trying to talk crap or looking to start fights, he just feels that we need to start calling these type of things something other than ‘professional wrestling’.

Lane mentions that on one of his shows this past week, The Wrestling Observer’s Dave Meltzer was perplexed over people being on their phones while sitting ringside at wrestling shows. Russo says he doesn’t blame these people for being on their phones at all because they’re obviously bored out of their minds.

Ryan Satin of ProWrestlingSheet mentioned this past week that the Hype Bros were more deserving of a main card spot at Clash of Champions than the Triple Threat US Title match. Russo calls Satin a jackass, and mentions that Satin probably hates Baron Corbin because he was a football player and a legitimate athlete, and Satin can’t relate to that.

At another point last week, Meltzer said that RAW has probably been losing viewers in the last hour because of long matches which feature talents who aren’t over. Russo says that nobody’s over on RAW right now, so who are WWE going to put in the ring?

The whole point of Clash of Champions is that every champion must defend their title. The chances of a title changing hands are quite high. Multi-man matches such as the triple threat for the US Championship and the fatal four-way tag team match almost guarantee a change in champions.

I believe that we’re going to see new champions come Sunday. Who do I believe will be a champion after Clash of Champions?

United States Champion: Baron Corbin

The whole point of booking a Triple Threat is so that the champion can lose their title without being pinned. However, I think that this Sunday, Corbin retains, but not by pinning Bobby Roode. I’m not a betting man, but I’d bet a considerable sum on Dolph Ziggler eating the pin.

It’s far too early to take the title off Baron Corbin. He’s found his groove as a character and as a champion. To take it away from him now would a a tad odd, to say the least. Besides, a babyface chasing the title is a much more compelling tale. A chase would provide Bobby Roode with some character other than “glorious is my word of the day.”

The strange addition of Ziggler to the match pretty much means he’s there to protect the loser. It’s sad, but it’s true. Corbin is pinning Ziggler, and this extends the feud to at least another month.

Smackdown Women’s Champion: Carmella

Carmella’s been holding the Money in the Bank contract for an awful long time. It’s not unlikely that she cashes in. In fact, I think it’s quite likely. The lumberjack match stipulation pretty much ensures that the Riott Squad will be involved in the match at Clash of Champions. Should Ruby Riott, Liv Morgan, and Sarah Logan interrupt the match and decimate both Charlotte and Natalya, who should pick the bones but Ms. Money in the Bank herself?

This frees up Charlotte to team up with Naomi to face the growing threat that is the Riott Squad. This leaves a possible dearth of challengers for Carmella should she become champion, but it is what it is. The absence of Becky Lynch is affecting the division, but I honestly believe Carmella is walking away from Boston with the Smackdown Women’s Championship.

Baron Corbin cut another promo on The Miz via Twitter to build to their Survivor Series match later this month.

Corbin starts off his promo by apologizing for his remarks about Maryse but quickly makes fun of The Miz for living in Maryse’s shadow. Corbin would then accuse The Miz of begging Maryse to come out of retirement so he can be relevant again. In closing, Corbin references Miz’s unborn child and says that at Survivor Series, The Miz will be calling him daddy.

You can listen to his remarks embedded in the video below:

Ross informs that his book, “Slobberknocker: My Life in Wrestling” is now available wherever books are sold. This has been a long, interesting journey for him with a lot of twists and turns. The initial co-author, Scott E. Williams, passed suddenly away as they were in the middle of the project, and Ross’ wife, Jan, passed suddenly away as he was cluing up the project several months ago.

After his wife died he almost halted the project but he’s glad he changed his mind and decided to continue work on the book; he thought he owed that to both Williams and his wife. He’s very proud of the finished product and he can’t wait for his fans all around the world to read it.

Ross says he’s very much looking forward to Hell in A Cell this coming Sunday. He thinks this is a very deep card, and there are multiple matches that should be potential show-stealers. The Tag Team Championship match will take place inside Hell in A Cell, and Ross feels this definitely has a good chance to steal the show.

He suspects Jinder Mahal will emerge victorious in his WWE Title match against Nakamura, and he’s looking forward to the Baron Corbin/A.J. Styles match. He points out that Corbin’s about to enter the ring with the best in the business so he urges Corbin to bring his ‘A’ game and listen to Styles in the ring. He also thinks Dolph Ziggler and Bobby Roode are set to have a great match, and he feels the only way this match will fail is if the live audience starts to crap on it for some reason.
