Bilal Vakani chats WWE, Sports & more in 10 minutes or less!

    Could WrestleMania XL Give us the Greatest WrestleMania Moment of All Time

    Could WrestleMania XL Give us the Greatest WrestleMania Moment of All Time

    Bilal Vakani and Daniel Shehori are back to preview WWE WrestleMania XL.

    HHH has done a stellar job putting together this card: You have The Rock teaming with Roman Reigns to take on World Heavyweight Champion Seth Rollins and Cody Rhodes Saturday. In a match The Bloodline should win to have Bloodline rules in place for Sunday.

    Then Sunday Cody is trying to finish the story against Roman Reigns for the WWE Undisputed Championship. If he finishes the story will it be one of the greatest moments in WrestleMania history?

    Seth Rollins is also defending his title against Drew McIntyre. A match he will likely lose.

    Women’s World Champion Rhea Ripley vs Becky Lynch. In a match that is too close to call.

    WWE Women’s Champion IYO SKY is facing Bayley. You would think this is Bayley’s time.

    Logan Paul is defending the US title against Randy Orton and Kevin Ownes. Arguments could be made for any of them to win.

    Gunter is defending his Intercontinental Championship against Sami Zayn. I thought I knew where this was going but now I am not so sure.

    Jimmy and Jey Uso are squaring off in what is a dream match.

    LA Knight vs AJ Styles in what should be a win for Knight.

    The Judgement Day defends their Undisputed WWE Tag Team Championships in a Six-Pack Tag Team Ladder Match against The Miz & R-Truth, Kofi Kingston & Xavier Woods, A-Town Down Under, The New Catch Republic and DIY. You would think R-Truth and Miz win here.

    Damage Control vs Jade Cargill, Naomi, Bianca Belair in what could be the most predictable match on the card.

    Bobby Lashley & The Street Profits vs. Final Testament (Six-Man Tag Team Philadelphia Street Fight). Because it is still happening.

    Rey Mysterio & Dragon Lee vs. Santos Escobar & Dominik Mysterio. In what should be a passing of the torch moment for Dragon Lee.

    Don’t Sleep on WWE Elimination Chamber Down Under

    Don’t Sleep on WWE Elimination Chamber Down Under

    Bilal Vakani and Daniel Shehori are back to preview WWE Elimination Chamber 2024 from Perth Australia.
    WWE Women's World Champion Rhea Ripley vs. Nia Jax. It would be shocking if Nia came away with the win here going into WrestleMania.

    Elimination Chamber to determine the No. 1 Contender to the Women's World Title at WrestleMania. Naomi, Liv Morgan, Becky Lynch, Tiffany Stratton, Bianca Belair. Becky seems far and away the favourite here even with a mystery opponent to be decided on Raw which could be Jade Cargill.

    Elimination Chamber to determine the No. 1 Contender to World Heavyweight Champion Seth "Freakin" Rollins at WrestleMania. Drew McIntyre, Bobby Lashley, Logan Paul, LA Knight, Randy Orton and Kevin Owens. You would think Drew McIntyre would make the most sense to win? After that LA Knight seems the only realistic option.

    Seth "Freakin" Rollins and Cody Rhodes to appear on "The Grayson Waller Effect" at Elimination Chamber. In an effort to put over their match against The Rock and Roman Reigns.

    Undisputed WWE Tag Team Champions Finn Bálor & Damian Priest vs. Pete Dunne and Tyler Bate. Do you see a tag team title change here?

    Could This Be The Greatest Royal Rumble Of All Time?

    Could This Be The Greatest Royal Rumble Of All Time?

    SiriusXM Canada’s Senior Producer of Talent and Industry Relations as well as Host of The Bilal Vakani Hour on SiriusXM 167 Canada Talks Bilal Vakani and Daniel Shehori preview WWE Royal Rumble 2024.

    When it comes to the Men’s Royal Rumble CM Punk seems to be the odds on favourite but Cody Rhodes and Gunter as well as The Rock are possible winners.

    As for the Women’s Royal Rumble I suspect Bayley to be the winner but Becky Lynch is not far behind with Jade Cargill and Nia Jax as significant competitors.

    United States Champion Logan Paul vs. Kevin Owens. People seem to like Logan Paul here and he did just sign a new deal with WWE so expect him to be victorious here.

    Undisputed WWE Universal Champion Roman Reigns vs. Randy Orton vs. AJ Styles vs. LA Knight — Fatal 4-Way Match). No doubt Roman Reigns on here.

    WWE NXT Deadline is Ready for Prime Time

    WWE NXT Deadline is Ready for Prime Time

    Bilal breaks it down, comment at www.twitter.com/bilaSiriusXM Canada’s Senior Producer of Talent and Industry Relations as well as Host of The Bilal Vakani Hour on SiriusXM 167 Canada Talks Bilal Vakani and Daniel Shehori preview WWE NXT Deadline 2023.

    Men’s Iron Survivor Challenge sees Bron Breakker as the favourite followed by Dijak, Trick Williams (who I recently interviewed), Tyler Bate and “Osh Briggs” as Ringside dot com called him. Especially as Iija is likely to keep his title Bron seems like the safe bet.

    Speaking of the NXT Championship Ilja Dragunov looks to be far and away the biggest favourite on the night to win against Baron Corbin.

    As for the Women’s Iron Survivor Challenge Tiffany Stratton is the favourite just slightly below Bron followed by Blair Davenport, Lash Legend, Falllon Henley and Kelani Jordan. While others have put Blair and Kelani as favourites. With Lara Valkyrie still champion Stratton and Blair seem likely possibilities. Whereas with Jordan her loss in the NXT Breakout Tournament makes more sense down the road as a number one contender. Also a certain return may distract Blair.

    Roxanne Perez comes in a close second very likely to defeat Kiana James.

    In a match some have forgotten Dirty Dom will most likely defend his title not against Wes Lee but rather Dragon Lee

    You Might Need To Slow Down For WWE Fastlane

    You Might Need To Slow Down For WWE Fastlane

    SiriusXM Canada’s Senior Producer of Talent and Industry Relations as well as Host of The Bilal Vakani Hour on SiriusXM 167 Canada Talks and Daniel Shehori preview WWE Fastlane 2023.

    WWE World Heavyweight Champion Seth Rollins vs. Shinsuke Nakamura in a Last Man Standing Match. If Rollins wasn’t going to lose the first time, why lose now?

    John Cena and LA Knight vs Jimmy Uso and Solo Sikoa. In what should be a fun granted predictable match.

    Women’s Champion IYO SKY vs Asuka vs Charlotte Flair. When are we gonna get to Bayley vs IYO!

    Bobby Lashley and The Street Profits vs LWO. The real question is which three members of the LWO are going to be part of this match?

    Undisputed Tag Team Champions The Judgement Day defend against Cody Rhodes and Jey Uso (+200). A weird stopgap match if there ever was one.

    Will Jade Cargill show up?Bilal breaks it down, comment at www.twitter.com/bilalv87

    WWE Payback, May Not Pay Off

    WWE Payback, May Not Pay Off

    SiriusXM Canada’s Senior Producer of Talent and Industry Relations as well as Host of The Bilal Vakani Hour on SiriusXM 167 Canada Talks and Daniel Shehori preview WWE Payback 2023.

    Seth Rollins defends his WWE World Championship against Shinsuke Nakamura. Seth is the betting favourite here but I wouldn’t rule out him dropping the belt in the match or as a result of a cash in, perhaps both?

    Rhea Ripley defends her WWE Women’s World Champion against Raquel Rodriguez. Rhea is very likely to retain here but should be a great match, what Rhea does after is a bigger question.

    WWE Undisputed Tag Team Champions Kevin Owens and Sami Zayn defend against The Judgment Day. While possible it seems more likely than not that Damian Priest and Finn Balor don’t win the titles here.

    WWE United States Champion Rey Mysterio defends against Austin Theory. They could hot potato the title here but hopefully not.

    Becky Lynch vs Trish Stratus in a steel cage, this is likely the end of Trish’s return and thus Becky should win.

    LA Knight will also take on The Miz in an excellent battle of promos with only one possible result yeah! If you think LA Knight is going to lose Na Na!

    Cody Rhodes on The Grayson Waller Effect. Could John Cena show up?Bilal breaks it down, comment at www.twitter.com/bilalv87
