    “Let God Sort ‘EmOut”: The State of Play in WWE | SEASON 3 | EP 02 |

    Chaos erupted across the WWE Universe over the weekend, with three major title changes. Sami Zayn reclaimed the WWE Championship from CM Punk, Stephanie Vaquer defeated Liv Morgan and literally took home the Women’s World Championship in her native country Chile, and El Grande Americano defeated “Dirty” Dominik Mysterio for the AAA Mega Championship. We break it all down, including how Sami will have hell to pay as he faces a slew of challengers in singles competition—and possibly two multi-man showdowns at “Money in the Bank” and/or “Survivor Series.” Vaquer doesn’t have nearly as many credible threats waiting for her. However, we know Liv wants a rematch, while Becky Lynch is hungry to reclaim the spotlight. Meanwhile, now that Dom is without gold, we’ll reveal which titleholder he should absolutely target. All that, plus how Damian Priest’s heel turn could provide a much-needed spark for his career—and why Roman Reigns is in jeopardy of shockingly losing his belt to Penta.

    “Stop Playing With Us”: The Recap and Review of “All In” and the State of Play in AEW | SEASON 2 | EP 50 |

    It’s a new day in AEW. With legendary superstars Kofi and Awesome Austin Creed coming to the company, the tandem represents two of the most important free-agent signings in AEW history. Not only will they bolster the world’s greatest tag-team division, but their mainstream star power will also help AEW attract new fans around the globe. Will Ospreay finally fulfilled the prophecy. The entire wrestling world knew he was a future AEW World Champion and cornerstone of the company, but after defeating Kenny Omega, his time is now. Still, Omega made Ospreay earn every inch of that victory and reminded everyone that The Best Bout Machine remains one of the greatest wrestlers alive. We also examine Mercedes Moné’s victory over Willow Nightingale, what comes next for The CEO and why Willow’s heart, toughness and connection with the fans make her one of AEW’s true gems. Plus, we break down the biggest matches, wildest moments and major fallout from “All In” as we take an honest look at the current state—and exciting future—of AEW.

    “Dead or Alive”: AEW All In 2026 Preview and Predictions with Mateo | SEASON 2 | EP 49 |

    AEW’s biggest show of the year is bound to deliver the biggest surprises and free-agent acquisitions. With rumors circulating that The New Day’s Kofi Kingston and Xavier Woods have signed with AEW and will debut at “All In,” we dive into the beloved duo’s less-than-harmonious departure from WWE, the major impact they could have on AEW, and the tag teams and singles competitors we want to see them face. The World Heavyweight Championship Match features arguably the two best wrestlers on the planet: Will Ospreay and titleholder Kenny Omega. We break down the journey that brought the two stars to this monumental match, why Omega had to dig into his heelish bag to survive, and what a potential victory for Ospreay in London would mean for the hometown hero. Plus, we unanimously predict the winner of Mercedes Moné vs. Willow Nightingale for the Women’s World Heavyweight Championship, but we’re divided when it comes to Kyle Fletcher vs. Konosuke Takeshita and Kazuchika Okada for the AEW International Title, as well as Kevin Knight vs. Darby Allin for the AEW TNT Title. The complete match-by-match breakdown is here now.

    “Talk Ya Sh—”: The Rap On Wrestling Podcast Breaks Down the State of Play in WWE | SEASON 2 | EP 47 |

    Make no mistake about it: “Raw” revolves around The Bloodline. The family was poised to be the most unstoppable force in wrestling, with Solo Sikoa rejoining the fold. But the little cousin to Roman Reigns and younger brother to The Usos cannot be sonned. Solo and the fans love where he’s at, and we break down Solo’s undeniable breakout as a top face. But The Tribal Chief may have another Ace up his sleeve.  Zilla Fatu in now in the WWE, on NXT.  It’s just a matter of time before we see him in the main roster and his allegiance is revealed.  We give our take on the impact he’ll make and why he’s such a great free agent addition.  On “SmackDown,” the main event and midcard scenes are both stacked, with the majority of the roster healthy and active. Still, with all the competition, there is no more combustible feud than the one between Champion CM Punk and number one contender Kevin Owens. Hear our predictions for that impending matchup, as well as which luchador will win the AAA tournament on “Raw” and challenge Roman Reigns in September. All that and more, here and now.

    Living Large: ROWP Reviews “Saturday Night’s Main Event” & “Monday Night Raw” | SEASON 2 | EP 45 |

    Madison Square Garden was rocking as WWE returned to one of its most iconic venues, and the crossover between sports and sports entertainment took center stage. New York Knicks stars Karl-Anthony Towns and Jalen Brunson got involved in memorable moments, with KAT stepping in to help Danhausen while Brunson found himself between Roman Reigns and Seth Rollins during one of the show’s most intense confrontations. We break down what those appearances meant, whether they elevated the event, and how celebrity involvement continues to shape WWE’s biggest shows. The fallout carried over to “Monday Night Raw,” where one question continues to loom over WWE: Where does Solo Sikoa truly stand? After turning against The Bloodline and finding himself aligned with Seth Rollins against Roman Reigns, is Solo committed to finishing what he started, or is it only a matter of time before he returns home? We examine the next chapter in one of WWE’s most compelling family sagas and what it could mean for the balance of power heading into “SummerSlam.” With “SummerSlam” around the corner, the stakes couldn’t be higher. Can SmackDown General Manager Nick Aldis shock the world against the seemingly unstoppable Gunther, or is “The Ring General” simply too dominant? We’ll also discuss whether the WWE Championship clash between Cody Rhodes and CM Punk could permanently fracture one of wrestling’s strongest friendships. Is championship gold worth sacrificing years of loyalty, or will respect ultimately prevail? Finally, we turn our attention to Minnesota, where hometown favorites Chad Gable, Tiffany Stratton, and Brock Lesnar will all be looking to capitalize on the energy of their home crowd. Will performing in front of family, friends, and hometown fans push them to victory, or will the pressure of competing on one of WWE’s biggest stages prove too much to overcome? The ROWP crew breaks down every major storyline, championship implication, and bold prediction as WWE barrels toward one of the biggest events of the summer.

    “Ah Ha”: The SummerSlam 2026 Preview and Predictions | SEASON 2 | EP 46 |

    Who will laugh last after SummerSlam? Can Roman Reigns exorcize the demons of all the turmoil Seth Rollins has caused him over the years, or will “The Visionary” continue his track record of dominance over “The Tribal Chief”? The ROWP family is unified in who we think will be World Heavyweight Champion once the smoke clears. It seems like Cody Rhodes’ last friend in the WWE was CM Punk. Competition has distanced the two to the point where they’re exchanging insults and punches. The ROWP family thinks one of them will cross the line this weekend and turn heel on the other to get the victory in their championship clash. Plus, it’s bigger than titles when it comes to Oba Femi and Brock Lesnar. Legacy is at stake—and literal survival. The two step into arguably WWE’s most dangerous structure, Hell in a Cell. Can Oba fulfill the prophecy as WWE’s new “Next Big Thing,” or will Brock prove he’s still the most unstoppable force in wrestling and that his dominance has no expiration date? Will we see blood? Who will survive? Plus, Ari “The ARIcle” lays down the perfect booking on who should become the new Interim WWE Women’s Champion after the deciding Ladder Match. We also tell you who will betray their partners in the Six-Man Tag Team Match between LA Knight, Solo Sikoa, and Royce Keys vs. Jacob Fatu and The Usos, and why we’re divided on who will emerge victorious in the Intercontinental Championship match between Penta and his challenger, Chad Gable. And Nick Aldis Vs Gunther both want revenge but will the former Smackdown GM reign supreme in his WWE in ring debut against “The Ring General”? Hear the pros and cons why.
