    Wrestling is Fiction: Episode 8

    Darkstar Shady and Zach start the week talking about all of the contract rumors surrounding WWE talent, before going into the previous Raw and Smackdown episodes. Setting up AJ Styles vs Cody Rhodes II dominates the Smackdown talk, while Raw is all Judgment Day.

    When we jump to the WIF Universe, Smackdown starts its search for number one contenders for both the Women's Tag Team Championship and the United States title. Afterwards on Raw you get more of The Bloodline vs. The Final Testament and Tiffany Stratton defends her Women's National Chapmionshio.

    This should go without saying, but these two do not own the rights to any of the WWE IP, characters or storylines, it's just two guys having fun to break up their work week and imagine what they would like to see.
