Coach and Bro: Crown Jewel's Five Supermans | Chelsea & Cena Classic — Monday 11/9/26

Big day for the brand: Coach announces that BTT Radio is live 24/7 on TuneIn, the Turnbuckle Mafia shop is open, and premium members get a new live show every Tuesday and Thursday at 9 PM ET. Then Coach and Vince Russo get into Crown Jewel in Riyadh. Russo gives WWE credit for zipping in and zipping out with the money, but says Cody Rhodes vs. Randy Orton (Cody won the Last Man Standing match) was a story done to death, and wonders whether Triple H is too nice to be the guy who drops the hammer when top stars can come and go.

Russo's big issue is Roman Reigns vs. Sami Zayn: a casual fan watching Sami survive a pile of Superman punches has to wonder how Roman beats Oba Femi at WrestleMania. Then the continuity problem: The 946 beat down Jimmy Uso on SmackDown while Sami watched, and the next day Roman told Sami he's an Uso. Russo explains why he called the Crown Jewel finishes a week early, tells the story of the Mike Tyson meeting at Vince's house that put Tyson with DX instead of Austin, and says Tiffany Stratton's cash-in on Chelsea Green put Chelsea right back where WWE wanted her. He also explains how he'd write Chelsea's promos, by asking the talent what they'd say.

After the break: the John Cena Classic (Coach's take on Cena's description of a fan vote run like American Idol), Finn Bálor standing tall over GUNTHER, Russo's plan to put all 19 NXT call-ups on SmackDown, and the 20 SmackDown names Russo says aren't over (send your rebuttal to the Hot Take Hotline). Super Chats bring Coach's Taboo Tuesday dress, Russo on Cody and whether the Montreal Screwjob was a work ("what was the payoff?"), and Coach's story of Muhammad Hassan's $5,000 lesson in Tokyo.

Housekeeping: BTT Radio is live 24/7. Turnbuckle Mafia merch is on sale now, with premium-only drops on the new Tuesday/Thursday 9 PM ET members' show. Catch Russo's shows at RussosBrand.com. Coach and Bro is back Wednesday at 2 PM ET.
