January 17, 2022 The WRAP - The Brock Lesnar Comedy Hour
The latest episode of The WRAP is now live for your listening pleasure! Keila Cash, Scott Young, and extra special guest CJ Tappin recap the week that was in WWE. The trio marvel at the comedic stylings of Brock Lesnar but wonder if it is at the detriment of Bobby Lashley ahead of their WWE Championship match at the Royal Rumble. Babyfaces miscast as heels and vice versa is a recurring theme throughout the show regarding the presentation of Becky Lynch, Seth Rollins, Roman Reigns, and the Alpha Academy as the crew workshops different ideas on how WWE Creative can highlight their stars in the proper context. The debut of Wendy Choo splits the group while their mutual disdain of Joe Gacy and Harland gets everyone back on track as the show wraps with the Guilty Pleasure/Avoid at All Costs picks of the week.
