Brad’s on the IR this week, so Tyler welcomes Mike Steph of The Salty Thoughts of Mike Steph Podcast to recap a lively WWE Backlash. The guys discuss an electric French audience, the show’s biggest winners, and whether the event has become WWE’s best non-big five premium live event.
The AEW Double or Nothing card continues to take shape. Tyler and Mike discuss their complicated feelings surrounding Swerve Strickland’s historic reign, Willow Nightingale versus Mercedes Moné, and The Elite’s nefarious ways.

Also, it’s the 20th anniversary of the Detroit Pistons winning an NBA Championship. This year’s New York Knicks are showing familiar grit. Mike shares his thoughts on the comparison, Jalen Brunson’s stratospheric ascension, and the vibe around Gotham City ahead of the Eastern Conference Semifinals.

Somehow, the most newsworthy rivalry of the week wasn’t in wrestling or pro sports. The guys discuss the ongoing saga between Drake and Kendrick Lamar, including how we got here and what could be next for both artists.

It’s an episode you don’t want to miss.
