JD from New York and Jonathan Coachman break down every angle of what happened. Was this the right call, was it a make good for Punk, and did Triple H book himself into a corner by putting the title on Sami in the first place? The guys also tackle the Vision winni...

Is Kenny Omega really going to be the end of MJF's AEW World Championship reign? Or will MJF prolong himself just enough until AEW Redemption ion Montreal? AEW Dynamite Beach Break is LIVE tonight from Clearwater, Florida. Kenny Omega made a deal with the Devil. If he cannot defeat MJF for the AEW World Championship tonight, he can NEVER challenge for the title again. MJF holds a 2-0 record ov...

Sami Zayn only lasted 9 days. Some fans are happy it wasn't Cody. And CM Punk is going into SummerSlam as the NEW WWE Champion but is it the right move? Sami Zayn only lasted 9 days as WWE Champion, and it was CM Punk, NOT Cody Rhodes who ended his reign on WWE Raw last night in Chicago, shaping SummerSlam up to be one of the biggest shows of all time, with two HUGE Championship matches but WH...

CM Punk wins the WWE Championship as Triple H abruptly ends Sami Zayn's reign as WWE Champion after 9 days.  After Cody Rhodes was taken out by Gunther, Nick Aldis placed one phone call, and CM Punk answered to fill in for Cody Rhodes to take on Sami Zayn for the WWE Championship, and the outcome was expected.

We could be looking at the end of MJF's AEW World Championship Title run but it won't be because of Mark Briscoe.  MJF defends the AEW World Championship against Mark Briscoe, after Briscoe's team won Sunday's Forbidden Door 12 Man Steel Cage Match.

If you love Pro Wrestling, this past weekend had offerings from WWE, NXT, AEW and TNA, all directly competing against one another. Who won the weekend, which show came out on top, and which show flopped?  WWE presented Night of Champions where Sami Zayn finally became the WWE Champion after beating Cody Rhodes, and Gunther in a Triple Threat match, and both Oba Femi, and IYO SKY won their respecti...

Oba Femi was set to choose his World Championship match at SummerSlam. Then Brock Lesnar appeared and announced he wants Oba Femi inside Hell In A Cell at SummerSlam.  Oba Femi has bypassed his World Title match at SummerSlam which he earned by winning King of the Ring to finish Brock Lesnar off once and for all at SummerSlam. Why did WWE take such a convoluted way to get us a 3rd match, and did t...

Tony Khan is incredibly lucky his "Triple Main Event" went as well as it did. If not, AEW Forbidden Door 2026 would have been a complete, and utter flop.  Will Ospreay and Swerve Strickland wrestle for the third consecutive summer in the Men's Owen Hart Cup Final and at this point I don't know what else these two guys have left to say to each other. Ospreay won the first meeting, t...

Sami Zayn is the NEW WWE Champion, and Oba Femi is the King of the Ring. I can't believe it but Triple H actually made the right calls at Night of Champions! Jey Uso battles Oba Femi in the King of the Ring Final, with Roman Reigns having tasked Jey with winning the whole thing on his own, without any help from The Bloodline. Good luck with that.  Also, Cody Rhodes, Gunther, and Sami Zayn coll...

It's the FINAL3 HOUR SmackDown this year and we are one night away from Night of Champions, and Sami Zayn should WALK AWAY as the new WWE Champion. Cody Rhodes will address BOTH Gunther and Sami Zayn on the final SmackDown before Night of Champions, where all three men will collide in a Triple Threat for the Undisputed WWE Championship. How did we get here? Nick Aldis had to FORCE this match a...

Tony Khan is dreaming big. Unrealistically big. Not only has AEW Forbidden Door killed all of the company's momentum coming out of Double or Nothing, he thinks THIS SHOW can combat THE WORLD CUP LMAO.  Konosuke Takeshita defends the AEW International Championship against Ricochet, Swerve Strickland vs. Daniel Garcia, Will Ospreay goes one on one with El Phantasmo, Jon Moxley and the Death Ride...

Where nothing on pro wrestling television is interesting, it's all the drama behind the scenes this week that absolutely stole all the headlines, and most of it came from TNA.  TNA is heading into one of their biggest weekends of the year, with MAJOR changes on the horizon.

It's the final stop for WWE Raw before Night of Champions this Saturday, and everyone is worried about Jey Uso winning the King of the Ring Tournament.  Oba Femi, and Jey Uso find themselves in the Finals of the King of the Ring Tournament.

Triple H is one step closer to having Jey Uso Main Event SummerSlam...and fans online are voicing their displeasure with this nonsense all over again.  Jey Uso is in the FINALS of the King of the Ring Tournament after defeating Je'Von Evans but at what cost? Now he meets Oba Femi, and fans are predicting Brock Lesnar will help Jey Uso win the entire tournament, after weeks of Oba Femi calling...

Forbidden Door is in 10 days. What does Tony Khan do? He gives away The Forbidden Door Main Event on AEW Dynamite 10 days early. Make it make sense.  MJF, and Mark Briscoe chosen their teams for the 12 Man Steel Cage match at Forbidden Door, and then proceed to have a 12 Man Tag Team Match in the Main Event.  Also, Will Ospreay and Swerve Strickland meet face to face before the Owen Hart Final, an...

The King of the Ring this year is either Oba Femi's to win, or Jey Uso's to ruin, and if Triple H is smart, he goes with Oba Femi.  As we near Night of Champions in Saudi Arabia, Triple H has a very important decision to make. Stick with the Bloodline slop heading into SummerSlam, or literally go all the way with Oba Femi as World Heavyweight Champion. Who will Oba Femi's opponent be i...

Oba Femi took care of Dominik Mysterio tonight to advance to the finals of the King of the Ring Tournament but who will he meet? Jey Uso, or Je'Von Evans? Where does Brock Lesnar fit in after Oba Femi called him out now three w...

It's all about LA Knight, and Jey Uso. Or will it be Finn Balor? Who advances to the King of the Ring Sem-Final, and how does the rest of the tournament shake out going into next week? Also, The Women's Queen of the Ring can become very interesting with both Charlotte Flair, and Jade Cargill favorites to advance. Or does the Darkhorse Lyra Valkyria pull off the upset? And, Guinther made Co...

When you think Summer Blockbuster, you think Jurassic Park. When you think Summer Blockbuster FLOP, you think AEW Dynamite. This was one of the worst wrestling shows in 2026.  Swerve Strickland advances past Brody King in the Men's Owen Hart Cup, and will now meet Will Ospreay in the Finals at Forbidden Door. On the Women's side, it's been so ravaged by injury, that Maya World has adva...

The King, and Queen of the ring are a hot topic right now, with some big names already eliminated but does it all make sense heading into SummerSlam? Seth Rollins, and Bron Breakker were both odds on favorites to meet in the finals, and have both been eliminated this past week. With Jey Uso, Oba Femi, and LA Knight still remaining, who walks away with the crown, and will Brock Lesnar have anything...

After SmackDown's reckless King & Queen of the Ring booking, does Triple H bounce back, and make sense of these tournaments? Seth Rollins tries to advance in the King of the Ring against Je'Von Evans, Talla Tonga and Ricky Saints. While, on the Women's side, Liv Morgan tries to own the Queen of the Ring Quarterfinal against Becky Lynch, Alexa Bliss, and Chelsea Green.  Also, Penta...

WWE had one easy job to do. Make the King & Queen of the Ring Tournament GREAT, with the best matches, and the best talent. They clearly missed their assignment.  Dominik Mysterio, and Raquel Rodriguez advance in their respect tournaments, making both Semi-Finals for the King and Queen of the Ring Tournaments less than desirable. What happens next?  Also, Gunther is MAD over the outcome of los...
