    Wrestling Uncensored Episode 771 — WWE Elimination Chamber 2026 Preview

    SmackDown went off the rails the night before WWE Elimination Chamber 2026, and Dave Simon and Johnny North were watching live when everything changed. Jey Uso was attacked and loaded into an ambulance before the show began. Bronson Reed's Raw bicep injury cascaded into a last-minute qualifier. Drew McIntyre interfered to hand Logan Paul a Chamber spot over Jacob Fatu. And Rhea Ripley and IYO Sky dropped the Women's Tag Titles — which completely flipped Dave's Women's Chamber pick. • WWE Elimination Chamber 2026 Match Predictions • Women's Chamber: Rhea Ripley wins after losing the tag titles on SmackDown — setting up Rhea vs. Jade Cargill at WrestleMania 42• Men's Chamber: Cody Rhodes is the lock — a post-Chamber Cody/Drew/Jacob Fatu triple threat is the best possible WrestleMania outcome• CM Punk vs. Finn Bálor: Punk wins in his Chicago hometown — crowd will be electric, JD McDonagh likely interferes• Becky Lynch vs. AJ Lee: Becky retains the Women's Intercontinental Title, feud extends to WrestleMania • SmackDown Night-Before Chaos • Jey Uso mystery attack — Drew McIntyre mocked the scene, Sami Zayn accused Jacob Fatu, nobody arrested• Uncle Howdy beat Solo Sikoa in a long, unimpressive match — then immediately had the Bray Wyatt lantern stolen back by Tama Tonga• Logan Paul wins the Chamber qualifier after Drew McIntyre hits Jacob Fatu with the title belt• Oba Femi squashed The Miz in a forgettable segment • Raw Fallout & The Bigger Picture • Bronson Reed's bicep injury on Raw likely costs him WrestleMania — he was supposed to win that triple threat• AJ Styles gets a perfect retirement sendoff — Undertaker Hall of Fame announcement, family in the ring• Brock Lesnar's WrestleMania open challenge promo was weak — LA Knight is the rumoured opponent• CM Punk is building the Roman Reigns WrestleMania match entirely by himself — Roman hasn't been on TV • The Masked Man Mystery: Dave's Final Verdict • A random nobody was revealed, escorted out by security, and commentary moved on immediately• Dave's bet: that was it.

    Elimination Chamber 2026 Qualifiers, AEW Grand Slam Australia, and Revolution Build

    WWE's Creative Team Ran the Same Promo TWICE on the Same Show — Plus Elimination Chamber 2026 Qualifiers, AEW Grand Slam Australia, and Revolution Build Dave Simon and Genesis Johnny North break down the most embarrassing week in recent WWE creative history — and the most exciting week AEW has had in years.☎ WWE RAW & SMACKDOWN — ELIMINATION CHAMBER 2026 BUILD:• CM Punk/AJ Lee and Finn Bálor/Becky Lynch ran the EXACT SAME PROMO in the same two-and-a-half hour episode of Raw. Nobody in the writers' room noticed.• Je'Von Evans shocks everyone — qualifies for the Men's Elimination Chamber by beating Gunther and Dominic Mysterio in a triple threat.• Kiana James pulls off the biggest upset on SmackDown — pinning BOTH Charlotte Flair and Nia Jax to qualify for the Women's Elimination Chamber.• Trick Williams also qualifies. Final men's spot: Bronson Reed vs Jay Uso vs Chad Gable (El Grande Americano) on Raw. Dave's pick: Bronson Reed.• Brock Lesnar returning to Raw this Monday. Rumoured WrestleMania 42 match: Brock vs LA Knight. Dave's concern: Knight gets thrown around, loses, and Brock disappears for six months.💭 GUNTHER, EL GRANDE AMERICANO & THE MYSTERY CRATE:• Dragon Lee attacks Gunther, costing him the chamber spot. Dave's WrestleMania theory: Gunther retires Rey Mysterio — the next name on his retirement list after Cena and AJ Styles.• El Grande Americano: a German wrestler (Ludwig Kaiser) and two British wrestlers (Tyler Bate + partner) doing fake Mexican accents — somehow getting over in Mexico as babyfaces while being heels in the States. Dave breaks down exactly how insane this gimmick is.• Mystery crate appearing on both Raw and SmackDown. Dave's picks: Danhausen or EVIL from New Japan. His lean: Danhausen — a Hollywood-adjacent property who belongs on the main roster, not NXT.• Janel Grant speaks publicly for the first time about her case against Vince McMahon. Court date: June. Dave's take on WWE's chances of facing real consequences.🔥 AEW GRAND SLAM AUSTRALIA & REVOLUTION 2026:• Kenny Omega vs Swerve Strickland on Dynamite earned 5+ stars from Dave Meltzer. Dave's take: the best match of the week across both promotions — and Swerve's heel turn landed perfectly because the crowd was ahead of it.• Hangman Page wins at Grand Slam Australia, setting up Hangman vs MJF for the AEW World Title at Revolution — Texas Death rules, with a stipulation that if Hangman loses, he can NEVER challenge for the AEW World Title again. Dave: Hangman has to win.• Young Bucks vs FTR for the AEW Tag Team Championships in Los Angeles at Revolution. Dave's call: give the Bucks the belts. The crowd is already chanting for the superkick before it happens.• Jon Moxley vs Konosuke Takeshita — no time limit rematch for the Continental Championship. Their last match ended in a draw.• AEW's overall booking has genuinely improved. Dave breaks down why — and why Hook (Tyler) is the one remaining problem.🔴 LIVE EVERY FRIDAY AT 10 PM ET!Follow Ringside Report Network at RingsideReport.net

  4. Rousey vs Carano Is Official — Netflix, Jake Paul, and the End of the UFC's Monopoly?

    Rousey vs Carano Is Official — Netflix, Jake Paul, and the End of the UFC's Monopoly?

    Nobody saw this coming. Ronda Rousey vs Gina Carano is confirmed for May 16, 2026, on Netflix, promoted by Jake Paul's Most Valuable Promotions, inside a six-sided hexagon cage at the Intuit Dome in Inglewood, California. Dave Simon, Fred Garcia, and AJ D'Alesio break it all down — then turn to UFC Houston picks and parlays for this Saturday night. ☎ Rousey vs Carano — What It Really Means:• Is Netflix entering MMA a genuine threat to the UFC's Paramount+ monopoly — or nostalgia bait?• Dave draws the AEW parallel: real competition means fighters get paid more. He doesn't like the UFC being a monopoly.• Fred pushes back: Bellator had money too. Show me the second event before we crown a competitor.• AJ is fully bought in: Netflix has 300 million subscribers. The UFC has Paramount+. That gap matters.• Dave's prediction: Ronda wins early by armbar. The real dream fight was always Ronda vs Cyborg — and that's not happening.💲 The Dana White Text That Killed the UFC Version of This Fight:• Gina was offered $1 million to fight Ronda in 2015 over dinner with Dana White and Lorenzo Fertitta.• The deal collapsed. Then came a Dana text: "This bitch isn't f***ing us around."• Gina thought it went to the wrong person. Dana: "I don't think I did." That was their last exchange.• Flash forward: Carano sued Disney/Lucasfilm, the case was reportedly backed by Elon Musk, and settled in 2025.☎ Retired Fighter Matchups the Crew Would Actually Want to See:• Jake Paul vs Nick Diaz — MMA rules. The fight that the whole sport would watch.• Jake Paul vs Anderson Silva — a real MMA step up from the boxing experiments.• Dan Henderson on a legends card. Name still draws. Body is still dangerous. 💲 UFC Houston Picks — Saturday, February 21, 2026:• Main event: Hernandez (-275) vs Strickland (+205) — panel is split. Dave isn't convinced Hernandez solves the Strickland puzzle in a 10,000-person arena over five rounds.• Co-main: Uroš Medić at +170 over Geoff Neal. All 15 of Medić's pro fights have ended by finish. Bet the under.• Carli Judice moved from -400 to -800 in 10 days. Something is going on. Dave and AJ are riding her on their parlays.• Team Dave parlay: Judice + Medić (+204). AJ's monster: Strickland + Medić + Reese + Judice (+1690). 🔴 LIVE EVERY THURSDAY AT 8 PM ET on YouTube, Rumble, Twitch, DLive, and Kick!
