Punk-Cody Face-Off Reactions and Drafting Our Picks to Win the 2025 Royal Rumble | Ringer Wrestling Worldwide

Ben, Khal, Brian, and David kick off the show by discussing Roman Reigns’s 'WWE 2K25' cover reveal and each share their favorite pro wrestling video games (1:00). Then they get into some of the highlights from 'Raw,' including:

• CM Punk and Cody Rhodes’s epic promo to close the show (10:51)
• The best use of WWE’s big-name stars at WrestleMania (20:25)
• Debating who wins a world title first: Logan Paul or Jey Uso (35:24)
• 
  

Then, in Nostalgia Freakz, they revisit the 2013 Royal Rumble, when the Rock ended CM Punk’s 434-day WWE title reign (43:15). 

Later, in ‘They Said What?!’ they react to a question on whether or not Jey Uso’s “YEET Movement” compares to Daniel Bryan’s “YES Movement”(56:07).

Then, to close the show: It’s draft time! They each draft a man, a woman, and a wild-card pick for this Saturday’s Royal Rumble winner, using snake draft rules (66:34).
