Punk & Rollins End USA’s ‘Raw’ Era With a Bang, and Revisiting the “Finger Poke of Doom”

Happy New Year’s Eve! Ben, Khal, and Brian fire up the mics for one last time in 2024 and start off by  reminiscing on WWE Raw’s time on USA Network (1:01). Then they discuss Cody Rhodes defending his WWE Championship against Kevin Owens in a ladder match at the Royal Rumble (7:40), followed by Seth Rollins and CM Punk going back and forth to close out the Raw on USA era (21:30).

Then, in the Nostalgia Freakz Moment of the Week, they revisit the infamous “Finger Poke of Doom,” when Hollywood Hogan defeated Kevin Nash (33:50). After the break, they go to the Worldwide Hotline, where they react to takes from you, the people, regarding a story line surrounding Kevin Owens, Randy Orton, Cody Rhodes, and Triple H (52:49). To close the show, they react to WWE’s list of the top moments from Raw in 2024 (59:45).
