    Join Chad and Acefield Retro for the ultimate wrestling recap show, WRESTLING TONIGHT! This week, we dive deep into the electrifying action from TNA FINAL RESOLUTION 2024, where we witnessed Joe Hendry earn yet another coveted title shot, the highly controversial return of Tessa Blanchard, and a shocking physical altercation involving Eddie Edwards and a fan. We explore the drama surrounding Blanchard's return and what it means for TNA's future as they embark on a new chapter in 2025. We also cover the much-anticipated WWE return to Saturday Night’s Main Event on NBC, where the chaos unfolded in the Undisputed WWE Championship match, as Cody Rhodes successfully defended his title against Kevin Owens in a wild and unpredictable contest. The finish was as dramatic as they come, but the real story broke backstage, where Owens' post-match assault on Rhodes has left us questioning what’s next for both men. We also delve into Rhodes’ historical entrance, paying homage to WWE’s rich legacy with his nod to the classic Winged Eagle Championship belt. Then, we shift our focus to the world of AEW and GCW, where Chris Jericho stunned the independent wrestling scene with a jaw-dropping appearance at GCW Highest in the Room 3, attacking both Matt Cardona and Effy in a turn that could alter the delicate relationship between AEW and GCW. We also discuss the latest from Rey Fenix, who continues to voice his growing frustrations with AEW management and the uncertain future surrounding his contract. Plus, Toni Storm returns to AEW, leaving behind her "Timeless" persona in a stunning revelation that marks a new chapter for her career.

    Join Chad and Acefield Retro for this week’s WRESTLING TONIGHT, where we cover all the biggest stories from across the wrestling world! AEW’s Continental Classic took center stage this week with thrilling matches shaping the standings in the Blue and Gold Leagues. From Kyle Fletcher’s dominant streak to Claudio Castagnoli’s continued control in the Gold League, the competition is reaching new heights. Plus, Bandido is set to make his long-awaited return after 18 months away, adding even more excitement to AEW’s growing roster. In other AEW news, former AEW star Ryan Nemeth has made waves after filing a complaint against AEW executives. The allegations focus on abuse, harassment, and threats during his time in the company, particularly involving CM Punk. Nemeth’s claims, supported by emails, texts, and call logs, have sparked intense debate about AEW’s internal policies and Punk’s contentious role within the company. We break down the drama, its implications, and how AEW might respond moving forward. Meanwhile, NJPW is facing major changes as HENARE’s injury forces the likely vacating of the IWGP Tag Team Titles, putting the Wrestle Dynasty showdown with The Young Bucks in jeopardy. In WWE, the fallout from Survivor Series WarGames continues. Injuries to Bronson Reed, Tonga Loa, and Jimmy Uso have shaken up key storylines, while Big E’s shocking attempt to reunite The New Day took an unexpected turn when Kofi Kingston and Xavier Woods rejected his offer. The return of Saturday Night’s Main Event is also on the horizon, promising nostalgia, high-stakes matches, and a throwback presentation fans won’t want to miss. Plus, DIY pulled off a masterful swerve to capture the WWE Tag Team Titles in dramatic fashion. Over in NXT, Oba Femi and Giulia made their marks in the Iron Survivor Challenges, earning championship opportunities at New Year’s Evil. Femi will challenge Trick Williams for the NXT Championship, while Giulia faces Roxanne Perez for the NXT Women’s Championship. GCW’s Effy is doubling down on his commitment to the independent scene amidst AEW’s controversial handling of Ricky Starks. Effy’s outspoken support for Starks—and sharp words for AEW’s decision-makers—has everyone talking. TNA Final Resolution is heating up with five new matches confirmed. AJ Francis is set to challenge Nic Nemeth for the TNA World Championship, Masha Slamovich will defend her Knockouts World Title against Tasha Steelz, and the Hardys will put their Tag Team Titles on the line in a tables match. We’ll also dive into Rey Fenix’s cryptic comments about “inhumane treatment,” the ongoing legal challenges surrounding the ring boy scandal, and the upcoming WWE roster shakeup, which could see major moves across Raw, SmackDown, and NXT.
