Coach and Bro: Russo Predicts 946 Cuts | Fatu's Return & Stone Cold — Wednesday 11/11/26

Coach opens with the big BTT news: BTT Studios is on the Roku and Amazon Fire TV app stores, BTT Radio runs 24/7 on TuneIn, the Turnbuckle Mafia shop is live, and premium members now get new badges plus BTT Primetime every Tuesday and Thursday at 9 PM ET. Then Coach and Vince Russo, calling in from an Airbnb in the mountains, get into Raw. Bronson Reed is still hospitalized after Oba Femi put him off the stage and through a table at Crown Jewel (per F4W/Fightful), and both hosts agree you can't blame Oba for the spot. Russo thinks Oba vs. Reed became Oba vs. Bron Breakker on Raw, asks why Penta didn't come out to save his brother Rey Fénix from The 946, and Coach wonders how Jacob Fatu came back from being run over looking like a million bucks.

Russo calls two-segment women's matches "house show matches" (Bayley vs. Michin), says WWE has too many wrestlers to get anyone over, and lays out how he would have written Fatu's return. Then his "breaking news": the two silent members of The 946 are mimes. Coach asks whether a young star should finally pin Roman Reigns at Survivor Series: WarGames (Sat Nov 28, Houston); Russo says they're "not ready" in WWE's eyes and predicts at least two members of The 946 will be cut after WrestleMania. Coach pushes back, calls on the creative room to make a difference, and addresses the viral clip about Road Dogg.

After Super Chats and a BlueChew Gold commercial starring Big Tommy C, Russo's connection drops and Producer Man joins Coach on camera. They talk Stone Cold as a one-of-one, how Coach wrote his own promos after his 2003 heel turn, The Rock and his longtime writer, Seth Rollins' L.A. Knight joke, Becky Lynch's line about Dirty Dom and Liv Morgan, and a new segment, "What Would Stone Cold Do?", on Kyle Fletcher's dance video and the AEW women's Blood & Guts before-and-after video. Russo finally gets back on by phone to blame Spectrum, and the merch wheel crowns a winner.

Housekeeping: Search BTT Studios on Roku and Amazon Fire TV. BTT Radio is live 24/7 on TuneIn. Turnbuckle Mafia merch is on sale now. BTT Primetime for premium members is Tuesdays and Thursdays at 9 PM ET. Afternoon Drive is Thursday at 2 PM ET, and Coach and Bro is back Friday at 2 PM ET for Story Time.
