    There Is A New WWE World Heavyweight Champion And His Name Is...

    There Is A New WWE World Heavyweight Champion And His Name Is...

    It only took WWE almost 1000 days, but someone other than Roman Reigns is going to be our new WWE World Heavyweight Champion! This is so exciting for every single top talent in the company that can finally have the chance to reign on top of the mountain as THE GUY. While we acknowledge our Tribal Chief, WWE has some red-hot talent ready to take the role in the main event and will actually be on television weekly.




    In this week's episode, Juice and Bill go over the WWE's announcement of the new belt, who we think will be the first champion crowned at Night of Champions, and of course what THEY would do differently to the belt's design (I mean, it's alright...). Plus there was a MAJOR pro wrestling name for another wrestling promotion that was backstage at the most recent WWE show in Chicago. Let's just say this guy is a "Chick Magnet", but he also is a bit of a heat magnet.

    The Official Top Of The Cage 2023 WWE Draft

    The Official Top Of The Cage 2023 WWE Draft

    One of the most exciting things of the WWE year is the WWE Draft. The event divides teams, refreshes feuds, and gives a chance for returns and NXT Superstars to come up to the main roster to wrestle with the best. WWE has had a lot of attention on their show with the news of new ownership and the potential of Vince McMahon coming back full-time, so we just hope they do it well and don't ruin any of our favorite pro wrestlers.



    In this week's episode, Juice and Bill dust off their old booker hats as they take the helm of Smackdown and Raw in this mock WWE 2023 Draft. Using a pool of only current WWE talent, potential NXT callups, and superstars slated for big returns a roster of 7 men, 7 women, and 4 tag teams will be drafted in hopes to reign in brand supremacy.

    Why Did Wrestlemania 39 Happen The Way It Did?

    Why Did Wrestlemania 39 Happen The Way It Did?

    The showcase of the immortals, Wrestlemania 39 has come and gone. There were some really good things about the show, including the Women's Title matches, the Gunther/Sheamus/Drew McIntyre banger, and the emotional Tag Title win by Sami Zayn and Kevin Owens. However, there were some bad things too. Why didn't Cody Rhodes best Roman Reigns WWE?


    In this week's episode, Juice and Bill go over the weekend of wrestling that happened, including Stand and Deliver, AEW's big announcement, and the news that broke early last week that the UFC's parent company Endeavor has purchased WWE and there are rumors that Vince McMahon may be back in a way we do not want him to be.

    Who's A Bigger Pro Wrestling Brat: CM Punk Or Dom Mysterio?

    Between Dominik Mysterio and CM Punk, there is some major brat energy going on around them in the world of professional wrestling, albeit on different ends of the spectrum. For the Con Dom, he's just a brat in general. Not able to get over his father being great, and is unable to take action away from his Mami. For Punk, he has aired his grievances with his locker room mates on his deleted Instagram stories.



    In this week's episode, Juice and Bill go over the growing drama around CM Punk and his social media posts regarding storylines and other happenings behind the scenes at AEW, as well as discuss the Dominik vs Rey Mysterio match and what the results should be, their favorite storylines going into Wrestlemania, and the recent news regarding Josh Alexander needing to vacate the IMPACT World Heavyweight Championship and what we expect next for the title.

    A Retrospective on The Tribal Chief

    With the upcoming Cody Rhodes vs. Roman Reigns match at WWE's Wrestlemania, the whole professional wrestling world will be holding their breath to see if the American Nightmare can topple the Tribal Chief's record-making title reign and finish his story. Yet that leaves the question, how HAS Roman's WWE title run gone?



    In this week's episode, Juice and Bill review the record of Roman Reigns, talking about the best and worst moments from the run and what we would have liked to see done differently while giving praise for the achievement. In this episode, they also discuss Bray Wyatt's current WWE situation and why two Bray marks are starting to wonder what is going on and if it is time for both parties to go their separate ways. The episode wraps with AEW talk and how the prediction of a 4 pillar AEW match seems to be in the cards for MJF's AEW World Championship.
