Episode 89 - Raw Ruining Reunion
Hi everybody and welcome, to a Kevin Owens pushing, WWE stock selling, WWE Network revising episode of the Brothers of Discussion. We’re going to cover everything from the geriatrics gobbling up TV time, to the redesigned WWE Network, AEW’s big announcement (they’re going to be on TNT lolol) and make some time for some NXT deep cut coverage!
And lest we forget, we’re also going to play another round of 2 Rumors and a Lie, where Mike has to figure which of this week’s moronic dirt sheet rumors is fabricated by Matt, and which 2 were posted by click bait journalism!
That and so much more is ready to be dissected by the Brothers of Discussion.
