·40 min·3 clips

Sancho argues Laredo Kid should win to prove AAA and WWE are on equal footing.

Santi and Sancho host this bonus episode of the Wrestling is Cool podcast to predict matches for the WWE and AAA Worlds Collide event and the Money in the Bank premium live event. The hosts are enthusiastic wrestling analysts who frequently blend mainstream WWE coverage with niche interests like AAA and gaming. They begin by noting the packed schedule on June 7th, which features the Worlds Collide event followed just an hour later by Money in the Bank, and they humorously include the Fortnite Death Star event in their rundown. Their first prediction is for the Worlds Collide fatal four-way match for the NXT North American Championship, featuring champion Ethan Page against Je'Von Evans, Laredo Kid, and Lexis King. Sancho predicts Ethan Page will retain to continue a feud with Je'Von Evans, possibly at Great American Bash. Santi argues for a Laredo Kid victory to create a headline-grabbing moment for the AAA partnership and give the show an "anything can happen" feel. They next discuss the AAA Mega Championship match where Hijo del Vikingo defends against Chad Gable. Both hosts predict a Vikingo win, with Santi suggesting Rey Mysterio might interfere to help Vikingo and further a storyline leading to Triplemania or WrestleMania. For Money in the Bank's non-ladder matches, they predict Lyra Valkyria will lose the Women's Intercontinental Championship to Becky Lynch to extend their feud toward the Evolution event. Regarding the tag match pitting Cody Rhodes and Jey Uso against John Cena and Logan Paul, they criticize its "lazy" booking but predict a Rhodes and Uso win, with Logan Paul likely taking the pin. They speculate this match could main event to set up a potential Money in the Bank cash-in later in the night. The hosts then analyze the women's Money in the Bank ladder match, featuring a field including Alexa Bliss, Roxanne Perez, Rhea Ripley, Julia, Naomi, and Stephanie Vaquer. Sancho's top choice is Roxanne Perez, as a win would fuel internal drama within The Judgment Day faction, particularly with Dominik Mysterio and Liv Morgan. His secondary choice is Naomi, who could use the briefcase to become a top heel and cash in on Tiffany Stratton to set up a triple-threat with Bianca Belair and Jade Cargill. Santi favors Naomi as his primary pick for that heel elevation, with Stephanie Vaquer as a wildcard option to receive a major push akin to Finn Bálor's debut. Both agree Rhea Ripley is the least logical winner, calling a potential victory "redundant." Finally, they break down the men's Money in the Bank ladder match, with competitors like Solo Sikoa, LA Knight, Penta, Seth Rollins, Andrade, and El Grande Americano. Santi predicts LA Knight will win, feeling it's finally his time after years of fan support. Sancho believes Seth Rollins is the safest pick but predicts CM Punk or Roman Reigns will cost him the match, leading to a same-night cash-in and briefcase "burning." Sancho dismisses LA Knight's chances as being "two years too late" and floats El Grande Americano as a fun, comedic pick to explore Chad Gable's split personality gimmick. The episode maintains a conversational and humorous tone, filled with inside jokes, wrestling lore references, and playful debates between the two hosts. Listeners who enjoy detailed, opinionated match predictions and analysis of WWE's interconnected storylines will find this episode engaging. Those seeking hard news, interviews, or a strictly serious tone might prefer to skip it.
