Ben Cruz, Khal Davenport, and Brian H. Waters begin the show with an essential question: When was the last time your partner looked at you with the same concern that Samantha Irvin looked at Ricochet last night? Then, they welcome Ringer Wrestling tribal chief David Shoemaker for Raw Is Headlines, during which the guys discuss whether WWE is leaning too far into non-wrestling-related Liv Morgan story lines, if Bron Breakker is the biggest heel in WWE right now, and the absence of Gunther, Ludwig Kaiser, and Jey Uso last night on ‘Raw.’ Then, in They Said What?!, a listener asks a question about Uncle Howdy. And, before finishing off with an ‘NXT’ preview, the guys ask Shoemaker whether we’ve seen the last of Ricochet in WWE, as well as what his ceiling in AEW would be should he sign there.For an opportunity to have your hot take featured on They Said What?!, leave a voicemail at (202) 417-8160 or send an email to RingerWrestling@gmail.com.CHAPTERS:
