Ross was blown away by Roman Reigns’ announcement on RAW this past week. He didn’t know that Reigns suffered from leukemia, and the courage that Reigns showed during his announcement was really something to behold in his opinion. Ross notes that all we can do is pray for Reigns and his family, and he is confident that Reigns will beat this disease.

A listener writes into the show and asks Ross to pick his dream announce team partners if he were to call one more WrestleMania. He says he’d love to have Paul Heyman and Jerry Lawler sitting next to him at the announce booth, and he’d have Jim Cornette in the role of backstage interviewer.
Another listener writes into the show discussing the promise of Pete Dunne and Tyler Bate as future WWE stars.   Ross doesn’t see anything that’s holding either of those guys back. Years ago it could have been argued that their size would hold them back, but not nowadays. He called their UK Title match a couple of years ago and that match stands out as one of the elite matches he’s called during his illustrious career.
