                                                                                                                                00:01:42 – 00:03:55 | Russo’s Drastic Reaction: Is WWE Unwatchable?

He laments feeling exhausted, beaten down, and fed up as a lifelong fan and former insider.

                                                                                                                                00:03:56 – 00:05:45 | Main Event Disaster: Creative Misfires and Missing Superstars

He spotlights Travis Scott’s bizarre interference and The Rock’s weeks-long absence, speculating about major backstage turmoil as even superstar John Cena appears confused in public comments.

They dissect The Rock's radio silence on social media and question if there’s a deeper rift between The Rock, Triple H, and WWE creative.

Russo wonders if this is hubris or a setup for Triple H’s downfall.

Coach floats a theory that The Rock might be flexing his power, perhaps even no-showing as a form of protest against management.

                                                                                                                                00:18:30 – 00:19:28 | Could The Rock Have No-Showed WrestleMania?
