The Express with Bilal Vakani

Bilal Vakani and Daniel Shehori are back to preview WWE SummerSlam 2024. WWE Undisputed Champion Cody Rhodes is a heavy favourite to defend successfully against Solo Sikoa. The Men's King of The Ring winner Gunter looks to win the World Heavyweight Championship from Damian Priest. Queen Nia Jax is a slight favourite to detrone WWE Women's Champion Bayley. Liv Morgan is actually a favourite to defend her Women's Title against Rhea Ripley. Bron Breakker is a heavy favourite to take the Intercontinental Championship from Sami Zayn! LA Knight is a big odds on favoruite to take the US title off Logan Paul. Drew McIntyre is actually the favourite going against CM Punk with special ref Seth Rollins. Are there too many matches?

Bilal Vakani and Daniel Shehori are back to preview WWE Money in the Bank 2024 from Toronto. Men's Money In The Bank Ladder Match features in order of odds on favourites: Drew McIntyre, Andrade, LA Knight, Carmelo Hayes, Chad Gable, Jey Uso Women's Money In The Bank Ladder Match again listed by biggest favourites: Tiffany Stratton, Zoey Stark, Lyra Valkyria, Iyo Sky, Chelsea Green, Naomi. The WWE Intercontinental Championship is on the line as Bron Breakker takes on Sami Zayn. This is bar far the closest match with the favourites changing depending on when you looked. Six-Man Tag Team Match The Bloodline are large favourites vs Cody Rhodes, Randy Orton, and Kevin Owens. It seems Cody must take a loss to set up a future title match, most likely against Randy Orton. WWE World Heavyweight Championship Damien Priest defends against Seth Rollins. With this being Rollins last chance at the title against Priest and Priest having to leave Judgment day if he loses it is surprising Damien is the narrow favourite this could go either way. Plus our thoughts on NXT Heatwave!

Bilal Vakani and Daniel Shehori are back to preview WWE Clash at the Castle from Scotland World Heavyweight Champion Damian Priest vs. Drew McIntyre. Drew is a narrow favourite here and him winning the title in front of his home country would be a great main event. WWE Women's Champion Bayley vs. Piper Niven. Bayley along with Cody are one of the biggest odds on winners of the night but his popularity across the pond might dismiss the pop Piper Niven rightfully deserves here.  Intercontinental Champion Sami Zayn vs. Chad Gable. Gable is a narrow favourite here but should win the IC title here.  WWE Women's Tag Team Champions Bianca Belair & Jade Cargill vs. Alba Fyre & Isla Dawn vs. Shayna Baszler & Zoey Stark. Jade and Bianca come in as the 3rd biggest favourite on the night, but I would not count out the Unholy Union and Bianca and Jade being part of Money in The Bank leading into a match at SummerSlam.  Undisputed WWE Champion Cody Rhodes vs. AJ Styles ("I Quit" Match). Cody is a massive favourite here but the match should deliver but should not be the main event.

Bilal Vakani and Daniel Shehori are back to preview WWE Backlash 2024 in France! Undisputed WWE Champion Cody Rhodes vs. AJ Styles, Rhodes is a strong favourite early in his title run but this should still be a really great match. World Heavyweight Champion Damian Priest vs. Jey Uso, similar to Cody, Damian just became champion and is very unlikely to lose it so soon but Jey is an interesting contender at least. WWE Women's Champion Bayley vs. Naomi vs. Tiffany Stratton (Triple Threat Match), Bayley is less of a favourite here as it is a triple threat but another who should retain her recently won title. Randy Orton & Kevin Owens vs. Solo Sikoa & Tama Tonga, an even safer pick than Bayley is Solo and Tama as the new Bloodline. WWE Women's Tag Team Champions The Kabuki Warriors vs. Bianca Belair and Jade Cargill, after the men's world champions BetOnline has Bianca and Jade as the odds-on favourites for the night and NEW champions at Backlash.

Bilal Vakani and Daniel Shehori are back to preview WWE WrestleMania XL. HHH has done a stellar job putting together this card: You have The Rock teaming with Roman Reigns to take on World Heavyweight Champion Seth Rollins and Cody Rhodes Saturday. In a match The Bloodline should win to have Bloodline rules in place for Sunday. Then Sunday Cody is trying to finish the story against Roman Reigns for the WWE Undisputed Championship. If he finishes the story will it be one of the greatest moments in WrestleMania history? Seth Rollins is also defending his title against Drew McIntyre. A match he will likely lose. Women's World Champion Rhea Ripley vs Becky Lynch. In a match that is too close to call. WWE Women's Champion IYO SKY is facing Bayley. You would think this is Bayley's time. Logan Paul is defending the US title against Randy Orton and Kevin Ownes. Arguments could be made for any of them to win. Gunter is defending his Intercontinental Championship against Sami Zayn. I thought I knew where this was going but now I am not so sure. Jimmy and Jey Uso are squaring off in what is a dream match. LA Knight vs AJ Styles in what should be a win for Knight. The Judgement Day defends their Undisputed WWE Tag Team Championships in a Six-Pack Tag Team Ladder Match against The Miz & R-Truth, Kofi Kingston & Xavier Woods, A-Town Down Under, The New Catch Republic and DIY. You would think R-Truth and Miz win here. Damage Control vs Jade Cargill, Naomi, Bianca Belair in what could be the most predictable match on the card. Bobby Lashley & The Street Profits vs. Final Testament (Six-Man Tag Team Philadelphia Street Fight). Because it is still happening. Rey Mysterio & Dragon Lee vs. Santos Escobar & Dominik Mysterio. In what should be a passing of the torch moment for Dragon Lee.

Bilal Vakani and Daniel Shehori are back to preview WWE Elimination Chamber 2024 from Perth Australia. WWE Women's World Champion Rhea Ripley vs. Nia Jax. It would be shocking if Nia came away with the win here going into WrestleMania. Elimination Chamber to determine the No. 1 Contender to the Women's World Title at WrestleMania. Naomi, Liv Morgan, Becky Lynch, Tiffany Stratton, Bianca Belair. Becky seems far and away the favourite here even with a mystery opponent to be decided on Raw which could be Jade Cargill. Elimination Chamber to determine the No. 1 Contender to World Heavyweight Champion Seth "Freakin" Rollins at WrestleMania. Drew McIntyre, Bobby Lashley, Logan Paul, LA Knight, Randy Orton and Kevin Owens. You would think Drew McIntyre would make the most sense to win? After that LA Knight seems the only realistic option. Seth "Freakin" Rollins and Cody Rhodes to appear on "The Grayson Waller Effect" at Elimination Chamber. In an effort to put over their match against The Rock and Roman Reigns. Undisputed WWE Tag Team Champions Finn Bálor & Damian Priest vs. Pete Dunne and Tyler Bate. Do you see a tag team title change here?

SiriusXM Canada's Senior Producer of Talent and Industry Relations as well as Host of The Bilal Vakani Hour on SiriusXM 167 Canada Talks Bilal Vakani and Daniel Shehori preview WWE Royal Rumble 2024. When it comes to the Men's Royal Rumble CM Punk seems to be the odds on favourite but Cody Rhodes and Gunter as well as The Rock are possible winners. As for the Women's Royal Rumble I suspect Bayley to be the winner but Becky Lynch is not far behind with Jade Cargill and Nia Jax as significant competitors. United States Champion Logan Paul vs. Kevin Owens. People seem to like Logan Paul here and he did just sign a new deal with WWE so expect him to be victorious here. Undisputed WWE Universal Champion Roman Reigns vs. Randy Orton vs. AJ Styles vs. LA Knight — Fatal 4-Way Match). No doubt Roman Reigns on here.

Bilal breaks it down, comment at www.twitter.com/bilaSiriusXM Canada's Senior Producer of Talent and Industry Relations as well as Host of The Bilal Vakani Hour on SiriusXM 167 Canada Talks Bilal Vakani and Daniel Shehori preview WWE NXT Deadline 2023. Men's Iron Survivor Challenge sees Bron Breakker as the favourite followed by Dijak, Trick Williams (who I recently interviewed), Tyler Bate and “Osh Briggs” as Ringside dot com called him. Especially as Iija is likely to keep his title Bron seems like the safe bet. Speaking of the NXT Championship Ilja Dragunov looks to be far and away the biggest favourite on the night to win against Baron Corbin. As for the Women's Iron Survivor Challenge Tiffany Stratton is the favourite just slightly below Bron followed by Blair Davenport, Lash Legend, Falllon Henley and Kelani Jordan. While others have put Blair and Kelani as favourites. With Lara Valkyrie still champion Stratton and Blair seem likely possibilities. Whereas with Jordan her loss in the NXT Breakout Tournament makes more sense down the road as a number one contender. Also a certain return may distract Blair. Roxanne Perez comes in a close second very likely to defeat Kiana James. In a match some have forgotten Dirty Dom will most likely defend his title not against Wes Lee but rather Dragon Lee

SiriusXM Canada's Senior Producer of Talent and Industry Relations as well as Host of The Bilal Vakani Hour on SiriusXM 167 Canada Talks and Daniel Shehori preview WWE Fastlane 2023. WWE World Heavyweight Champion Seth Rollins vs. Shinsuke Nakamura in a Last Man Standing Match. If Rollins wasn't going to lose the first time, why lose now? John Cena and LA Knight vs Jimmy Uso and Solo Sikoa. In what should be a fun granted predictable match. Women's Champion IYO SKY vs Asuka vs Charlotte Flair. When are we gonna get to Bayley vs IYO! Bobby Lashley and The Street Profits vs LWO. The real question is which three members of the LWO are going to be part of this match? Undisputed Tag Team Champions The Judgement Day defend against Cody Rhodes and Jey Uso (+200). A weird stopgap match if there ever was one. Will Jade Cargill show up?Bilal breaks it down, comment at www.twitter.com/bilalv87

SiriusXM Canada's Senior Producer of Talent and Industry Relations as well as Host of The Bilal Vakani Hour on SiriusXM 167 Canada Talks and Daniel Shehori preview WWE Payback 2023. Seth Rollins defends his WWE World Championship against Shinsuke Nakamura. Seth is the betting favourite here but I wouldn't rule out him dropping the belt in the match or as a result of a cash in, perhaps both? Rhea Ripley defends her WWE Women's World Champion against Raquel Rodriguez. Rhea is very likely to retain here but should be a great match, what Rhea does after is a bigger question. WWE Undisputed Tag Team Champions Kevin Owens and Sami Zayn defend against The Judgment Day. While possible it seems more likely than not that Damian Priest and Finn Balor don't win the titles here. WWE United States Champion Rey Mysterio defends against Austin Theory. They could hot potato the title here but hopefully not. Becky Lynch vs Trish Stratus in a steel cage, this is likely the end of Trish's return and thus Becky should win. LA Knight will also take on The Miz in an excellent battle of promos with only one possible result yeah! If you think LA Knight is going to lose Na Na! Cody Rhodes on The Grayson Waller Effect. Could John Cena show up?Bilal breaks it down, comment at www.twitter.com/bilalv87

SiriusXM Canada's Senior Producer of Talent and Industry Relations as well as Host of The Bilal Vakani Hour on SiriusXM 167 Canada Talks and Daniel Shehori preview AEW All in from Wembley Stadium in London.  MJF (c) vs Adam Cole for the AEW World Championship. This has been a lot of fun, seems too soon to take the title off MJF.  FTR (c) vs The Young Bucks for the AEW World Tag Team Championship. Issues with FTR aside this will be a great match, although it seems like the wise move would be to move these titles the Bucks way. Hikaru Shida (c) vs Saraya vs Toni Storm vs Dr Britt Baker DMD for the AEW Women's World Championship. This seems designed to get Saraya the title in his home country, the story to get there could be better but should still deliver in the moment.   Kenny Omega, Hangman Adam Page and Kota Ibushi vs Jay White, Juice Robinson and Konosuke Takeshita. I honestly forgot this match was happening but it should be excellent.  Chris Jericho vs Will Ospreay. Well looks the JAS left Jericho and any noticeable direction beyond Chris that alone should be more of a story here.  Jon Moxley, Claudio Castagnoli, Wheeler Yuta and 3 TBA vs Eddie Kingston, Lucha Bros, Orange Cassidy and Best Friends Stadium Stampede. Who joins the “club”? How will this work with such a full venue?  Swerve Strickland and AR Fox vs Sting and Darby Allin Coffin Match. I would rather have Nick Wayne a part of this match at this point but should be great. CM Punk vs Samoa Joe ‘Real' World Championship. I am a bit concerned about this as a match but there is a rich history between these two.  Aussie Open (c) vs MJF & Adam Cole – ROH World Tag Team Championship (Buy-In). This will feed into the main event in a great way. Although it may have been better to just do a double Jeopardy match with the Bucks.

SiriusXM Canada's Senior Producer of Talent and Industry Relations as well as Host of The Bilal Vakani Hour on SiriusXM 167 Canada Talks and Daniel Shehori preview WWE Summer Slam. Undisputed WWE Universal Champion Roman Reigns vs. Jey Uso (Tribal Combat). While Roman will likely keep the title this should be an epic match. Cody Rhodes vs. Brock Lesnar. While I didn't want a trilogy they have done an excellent job building this up. World Heavyweight Champion Seth “Freakin” Rollins vs. Finn Bálor. It feels like one way or another Rollins isn't going to be champion after Summer Slam. WWE Women's Champion Asuka vs. Charlotte Flair vs. Bianca Belair (Triple Threat Match). Similar to the Rollins match the best result might be a Money in the Bank cash in. Intercontinental Champion Gunther vs. Drew McIntyre. No chance Gunther loses the title but nice to see Drew in this spot. Logan Paul vs. Ricochet. Hopefully this is the match that launched Ricochet into a main event star.  Ronda Rousey vs. Shayna Baszler (MMA Rules). Maybe the best told wrestling story of the year so far should be a great match as well. SummerSlam Battle Royal presented by Slim Jim. Confirmed for this Match LA Knight, Sheamus, Shinsuke Nakamura and Tommaso Ciampa. Seems like LA Knight MUST win this?

SiriusXM Canada's Senior Producer of Podcast Operations and Host of The Bilal Vakani Hour on SiriusXM 167 Canada Talks and Daniel Shehori preview WWE Money in the Bank. CIVIL WAR: Roman Reigns & Solo Sikoa vs. The Usos. You would think this would set up a title match but would an unexpected cash in be an even better story? Seth “Freakin” Rollins vs. Finn Bálor (World Heavyweight Championship). While Rollins should retain the prospect of Balor as champion could prove equally interesting. Men's 2023 Money in the Bank Ladder Match: Ricochet, Shinsuke Nakamura, Butch, LA Knight, Santos Escobar, Damien Priest and Logan Paul. LA Kight is the favourite but cases can be made for Paul and Priest though not as strongly. Women's 2023 Money in the Bank Ladder Match: Zelina Vega, Becky Lynch, Zoey Stark, Bayley, Iyo Sky and Trish Stratus. WWE Women's Tag Team Champions Ronda Rousey & Shayna Baszler vs. Raquel Rodriguez and Liv Morgan. If this leads to Raquel turning on Liv it will be worth it. Cody Rhodes vs. Dominik Mysterio. Massive kudos for both for making this as good as it has been. Although having both in the Money in the Bank rather than say Ricochet and Santos might have made more sense. Intercontinental Champion Gunther vs. Matt Riddle in watch could be match of the night but not a match where I expect a title change.

SiriusXM Canada's Senior Producer of Podcast Operations and Host of The Bilal Vakani Hour on SiriusXM 167 Canada Talks and Daniel Shehori preview WWE Night of Champions and AEW's Double Or Nothing. Despite these two events and NXT Battleground taking place very few titles are likely to change hands. Cody Rhodes vs. Brock Lesnar. Is it Brock's turn to win. Undisputed WWE Tag Team Champions Kevin Owens & Sami Zayn vs. The Bloodline (WWE Undisputed Champion Roman Reigns & Solo Sikoa). Seth “Freakin” Rollins vs AJ Styles for The World Heavyweight Championship. Seth has to win this. Becky Lynch vs Trish Stratus. Thank you Trish! Raw Women's Champion Bianca Belair vs. Asuka. Weirdly fresh with Asuka skipping Backlash. SmackDown Women's Champion Rhea Ripley vs. Natalya. Well this won't lead to a title change. Intercontinental Champion Gunter vs. Mustafa Ali. Could we see a massive upset? Double or Nothing AEW World Championship MJF (c) vs. Jungle Boy vs. Darby Allin vs. Sammy Guevara. MJF retains I assume. AEW Women's World Championship: Jamie Hayter (c) vs. Toni Storm. Jamie holds on to face off with Sayra in the UK? AEW World Tag Team Championship: FTR (c) vs. Jay Lethal & Jeff Jarrett with Mark Briscoe as special guest referee. FTR retains too early to flip the belts around. TNT Championship: Wardlow (c) vs. Christian Cage in a ladder match. Again, it seems like Christian doesn't win a belt. TBS Championship: Jade Cargill (c) vs. Taya Valkyrie. Again why would this be any different? AEW International Championship: Orange Cassidy (c) to defend in a Blackjack Battle Royale. Cassidy retains. Anarchy in the Arena: Kenny Omega, Young Bucks, & Hangman Page vs. Bryan Danielson, Jon Moxley, Claudio Castagnoli, & Wheeler Yuta. The Elite seems like the favourites here but the only true toss up. Chris Jericho vs. Adam Cole in an unsanctioned match. Cole should win but will Jericho let him go over. Matt Hardy, Jeff Hardy, & Isiah Kassidy vs. Ethan Page & the Gunns (If Hardy Party wins, then Matt controls Page's contract). Wait, why are the Guns part of this? Where did the firm go?

SiriusXM Canada's Senior Producer of Podcast Operations and Host of The Bilal Vakani Hour on SiriusXM 167 Canada Talks and Daniel Shehori preview WWE Backlash. Cody Rhodes vs. Brock Lesnar. How much better would this program have been if Cody was undisputed champion? Bad Bunny vs. Damian Priest (San Juan Street Fight). This could be the main event and should be a speculator.  SmackDown Women's Champion Rhea Ripley vs. Zelina Vega. Zelina seems to have no chance of winning this belt but at least they could get the crowd behind her in her home country. Would of worked better if she went on a win streak before or won a dramatic #1 contender match.  Matt Riddle and Undisputed WWE Tag Team Champions Kevin Owens & Sami Zayn vs. The Bloodline. Is this the path to Riddle vs Roman again or The Usos vs Roman.  Raw Women's Champion Bianca Belair vs. IYO SKY. The Raw Women's title is contested by two superstars now on Smackdown.  United States Champion Austin Theory vs. Bobby Lashley vs. Bronson Reed. Reed could have brought the US title back to Raw if only Gunter wasn't drafted there and not defending his belt.  Seth "Freakin" Rollins vs. Omos. What is the story behind this match? Does WWE understand what free agency even means? And a look back at the draft.

SiriusXM Canada's Senior Producer of Podcast Operations and Host of The Bilal Vakani Hour on SiriusXM 167 Canada Talks, Criminal Lawyer, Legal Expert, Political Commentator and Host of The Ari Goldkind Show on SiriusXM 167 Canada Talks Ari Goldkind and Daniel Shehori preview WWE WrestleMania 39. Undisputed WWE Universal Championship: Roman Reigns vs. Cody Rhodes (Night Two) WWE United States Championship: Austin Theory vs. John Cena (Night One) Seth Rollins vs. Logan Paul (Night One) Undisputed WWE Tag Team Championships: The Usos vs. Kevin Owens & Sami Zayn SmackDown Women's Championship: Charlotte Flair vs. Rhea Ripley Raw Women's Championship: Bianca Belair vs. Asuka is a toss up. WWE Intercontinental Championship: Gunther vs. Drew McIntyre vs. Sheamus. Gunter is a slight favourite. Brock Lesnar vs. Omos Edge vs. Finn Balor (Hell in a Cell Match). With Edge retiring soon this seems like Balor's to win. Rey Mysterio vs. Dominik Mysterio Becky Lynch, Trish Stratus & Lita vs. Damage CTRL (Bayley, Dakota Kai & Iyo Sky), it would be odd to bring back two legends just to lose. Braun Strowman & Ricochet vs. The Street Profits (Montez Ford & Angelo Dawkins) vs. Alpha Academy (Chad Gable & Otis) vs. The Viking Raiders (Erik & Ivar). Given that Sami and KO are likely to be champions, Braun and Ricochet would present the most interesting program. Liv Morgan & Raquel Rodriguez vs. Natalya & Shotzi vs. Ronda Rousey & Shayna Baszler vs. Chelsea Green & Sonya Deville.Bilal breaks it down, comment at www.twitter.com/bilalv87

Canada's Senior Producer of Podcast Operations and Host of The Bilal Vakani Hour on SiriusXM 167 Canada Talks and Daniel Shehori preview AEW Revolution 2023.  AEW World Heavyweight Championship: MJF (c) vs. Bryan Danielson in a 60-minute Iron Man. This really could be one of the very best matches of the year with an excellent build. AEW Women's World Championship: Jamie Hayter (c) vs. Saraya vs. Ruby Soho. The story has been kind of meh but the match should be good. AEW World Tag Team Championship: Gunns (c) vs. The Acclaimed vs. Jay Lethal & Jeff Jarrett vs. TBD. I miss FTR. AEW World Trios Championship: The Elite (c) vs. House of Black. What a downgrade after their series with Death Triangle.  TNT Championship: Samoa Joe (c) vs. Wardlow. I forgot this was happening. Jon Moxley vs. Hangman Page in Texas Death Match. This should be good, I almost wish it was a trio's match. Ricky Starks vs. Chris Jericho with JAS banned from ringside. An ok if unneeded program.  Other potential matchups could include Jungle Boy versus Christian Cage (finally), Jade Cargill defending the TBS Championship vs someone… and Orange Cassidy defending the AEW All-Atlantic Championship twice in one week?

SiriusXM Canada's Senior Producer of Podcast Operations and Host of The Bilal Vakani Hour on SiriusXM 167 Canada Talks and Daniel Shehori preview WWE Elimination Chamber 2023. Undisputed WWE Universal Championship Match: Roman Reigns defends against Sami Zayn. Could Sami actually win this match and change the course of Wreslte Mania? I doubt it. WWE United States Championship Elimination Chamber Match: Austin Theory defends against Seth Rollins, Johnny Gargano, Bronson Reed, Damian Priest, Montez Ford. It seems like Theory will hold the belt and face John Cena at WrestleMania, especially since no one else has been built up sufficiently here. Raw Women's Championship #1 Contender's Elimination Chamber Match: Raquel Rodriguez vs. Asuka vs. Liv Morgan vs. Nikki Cross vs. Natalya vs. Carmella. This seems like a battle between Raquel and Asuka but which way they go is anyone's guess. If it is not then we are in for a surprise. Edge & Beth Phoenix vs. Finn Balor & Rhea Ripley. It's hard to imagine Rhea losing ahead of being in the main event at Wrestle Mania. Brock Lesnar vs. Bobby Lashley. Does Brock move on to Gunter after this? What the heck does Bobby do at Mania, I have no idea?Bilal breaks it down, comment at www.twitter.com/bilalv87

SiriusXM Canada's Senior Producer of Podcast Operations and Host of The Bilal Vakani Hour on SiriusXM 167 Canada Talks and Daniel Shehori preview the WWE Royal Rumble 2023. Undisputed WWE Universal Champion Roman Reigns vs. Kevin Owens. In a rematch we are actually eager to see. Raw Women's Champion Bianca Belair battles Alexa Bliss. In an interesting enough feud that provides as much title intrigue as you could expect at this point. Bray Wyatt vs. LA Knight (Mountain Dew Pitch Black Match). This will either be great or awful depending on how you have viewed the rivalry so far. Men's Royal Rumble: Cody Rhodes, Kofi Kingston, Ricochet, Bobby Lashley, Seth "Freakin" Rollins, Austin Theory, Gunther, Drew McIntyre, Sheamus, Omos, Braun Strowman, Baron Corbin, Santos Escobar, Rey Mysterio, Karrion Kross. While Cody seems a lock to win this could we see The Rock, Stone Cold Steve Austin, Edge or Big E? Women's Royal Rumble: Liv Morgan, Raquel Rodriguez, Rhea Ripley, Candice LeRae, Shayna Baszler, Zelina Vega, Emma. Who will be in the final four and who will win? Once again Rhea Ripley is a lock to win this. Will we see Ronda Rousey, Sasha Banks, Naomi or someone else make a late push?

SiriusXM Canada's Senior Producer of Podcast Operations and Host of The Bilal Vakani Hour on SiriusXM 167 Canada Talks and Daniel Shehori preview WWE NXT Deadline and ROH Final Battle. Bron Breakker vs. Apollo Crews (NXT Championship Match). The dinner vs the fisher. Carmelo Hayes vs. Grayson Waller vs. Joe Gacy vs. JD McDonagh vs. Axiom (Iron Survivor Challenge Match). Could this be Grayson Waller's chance at a title match? Roxanne Perez vs. Cora Jade vs. Zoey Stark vs. Kiana James vs. Indi Hartwell (Iron Survivor Challenge). Given Mandy Rose isn't defending her title it's hard to see anyone but Perez or Hartwell winning this.  Pretty Deadly vs. The New Day (NXT Tag Team Title Match). Yes Boy! Alba Fyre vs. Isla Dawn. If you haven't seen Dawn's entrance to search that out.  ROH World Championship: Chris Jericho (c) vs. Claudio Castagnoli. We are still doing JAS vs BCC club after Regal has been written off TV. ROH World Television Championship: Samoa Joe (c) vs. Juice Robinson. Juice cut a great promo which almost excuses Joe's very random heel turn.  ROH Women's World Championship: Mercedes Martinez (c) vs. Athena. I honestly forgot Martinez was champion but Athena could make a better much more interesting title holder.  ROH Pure Championship: Daniel Garcia (c) vs. Wheeler Yuta. Ah JAS vs BCC again I see.  Swerve In Our Glory (Keith Lee & Swerve Strickland) vs. Shane Taylor and JD Griffey. Wait what vs who? Also where are the ROH Tag Team Champions FTR?

SiriusXM Canada's Senior Producer of Podcast Operations and Host of The Bilal Vakani Hour on SiriusXM 167 Canada Talks and Daniel Shehori preview WWE Survivor Series this year with War Games. The Brawling Brutes, Drew McIntyre & Kevin Owens vs. The Bloodline (WarGames Match). I supposed Fight Owens Fight fits pretty good into Fight Night and their best man Drew. Bianca Belair's team to take on Damage CTRL in WarGames Match! Will this be the return of Becky Lynch, Sasha Banks or Charlotte Flair? Or someone else? On top of that could we see ANOTHER member of either team replaced on the night? Ronda Rousey vs. Shotzi (SmackDown Women's Championship). Well it was nice knowing Shotzi, this pairing of Shayna and Ronda is soooo good it would be great to see them go after the tag belts as well. AJ Styles vs. Finn Bálor. Should be a great match even if the feud is a little lukewarm at best.  United States Champion Seth “Freakin” Rollins vs. Bobby Lashley vs. Austin Theory (Triple Threat Match). What a difference a month makes. Rollins is the face now and Lashley is a bit of a grey character, while even Theory's character has had an interesting arc.

SiriusXM Canada's Senior Producer of Podcast Operations and Host of The Bilal Vakani Hour on SiriusXM 167 Canada Talks, Criminal Defence Lawyer and Political Commentator Ari Goldkind and Daniel Shehori preview AEW Full Gear 2022 on the same day that Bilal interviewed Tony Kahn. AEW World Championship Match: Jon Moxley vs. MJF. Is MJF turning baby face? AEW World Championship Eliminator Tournament Finals: Ethan Page vs. Brian Cage, Ricky Starks OR Lance Archer. In what could be the dawning of a new age in AEW. AEW Tag Team Championship Match: The Acclaimed vs. Swerve In Our Glory. But what about FTR? Interim AEW Women's World Championship Match: Toni Storm vs. Jamie Hayter. This seems like Jamie's time to be champion. ROH World Championship Match: Chris Jericho vs. Bryan Danielson vs. Sammy Guevara vs. Claudio Castagnoli. In what should be a fascinating dynamic of alliances. AEW Trios Tag Team Championship Match: Death Triangle vs. The Elite. This could be match of the night. AEW TBS Championship Match: Jade Cargill vs. Nyla Rose. Rose has been a lot of fun in this program regardless of the outcome. AEW TNT Championship Match: Wardlow vs. Powerhouse Hobbs vs. Samoa Joe Steel Cage Match: Jungle Boy vs. Luchasaurus Saraya vs. Britt Baker Darby Allin & Sting vs. Jeff Jarrett & Jay LethalBilal breaks it down, comment at www.twitter.com/bilalv87

SiriusXM Canada's Senior Producer of Podcast Operations and Host of The Bilal Vakani Hour on SiriusXM 167 Canada Talks and Daniel Shehori preview WWE Crown Jewel 2022. But will this show truly change anything of significance? Undisputed WWE Universal Champion Roman Reigns vs. Logan Paul. Zero chance Logan Paul wins and if he does what a disaster that will be. Brock Lesnar vs. Bobby Lashley. This should be fun at least and has had a decent build. Raw Women's Champion Bianca Belair vs. Bayley (Last Woman Standing Match). Could Bayley finally win the title? Undisputed WWE Tag Team Champions The Usos vs. The Brawling Brutes. I honestly forgot this was on the card. Seems very much like a holding pattern until KO is ready to team with Sami. WWE Women's Tag Team Champions Alexa Bliss & Asuka vs. Dakota Kai & IYO SKY. See above. Drew McIntyre vs. Karrion Kross (Steel Cage Match). But can a cage stop a fireball? Braun Strowman vs. Omos. They are very very tall and big! The O.C. vs. The Judgment Day (Six-Man Tag Team). Will Rhea finally meet her match or will The O.C. get outnumbered yet again? Bray Wyatt brings mystical energy to WWE Crown Jewel. Whatever that means!

SiriusXM Canada's Senior Producer of Podcast Operations and Host of The Bilal Vakani Hour on SiriusXM 167 Canada Talks, Alex Ross and Daniel Shehori preview WWE Extreme Rules 2022. What match will be the main event, who will be victorious and have WWE made the right call offering a different stipulation for every match? SmackDown Women's Champion Liv Morgan vs. Ronda Rousey (Extreme Rules Match). Hopefully this is the end of Liv's time as champion.  Raw Women's Champion Bianca Belair vs. Bayley (Ladder Match). This one could go either way but lets see if it carries into WarGames. Matt Riddle vs. Seth “Freakin” Rollins (Inside the Fight Pit with Special Guest Referee Daniel Cormier). How WWE has reheated this rivalry is amazing. Drew McIntyre vs. Karrion Kross (Strap Match). Both superstars seem to have cooled since this program started but it should still be fairly good. Edge vs. Finn Bálor (“I Quit” Match). With all WWE has done to build up Balor and co it would be shocking to see him lose. The Brawling Brutes vs. Imperium (Six-Man Tag Team Good Old Fashioned Donnybrook Match). This is gonna slap… literally. Plus our thoughts on AEW ahead of their first shows in Canada and Toronto!

SiriusXM Canada's Senior Producer of Podcast Operations and Host of The Bilal Vakani Hour on SiriusXM 167 Canada Talks, Never Sleep Network's Alex Ross and Daniel Shehori preview WWE SummerSlam 2022. Undisputed WWE Universal Champion Roman Reigns vs. Brock Lesnar (Last Man Standing Match). In yet another rematch of a rematch but this time is the “last time.” SmackDown Women's Champion Liv Morgan vs. Ronda Rousey, can we please just go back to Ronda being champion? Liv has been mostly copying better promos since winning the belt. United States Champion Bobby Lashley vs. Theory. Because why not run it back? Undisputed WWE Tag Team Champions The Usos takes on The Street Profits (with Special Guest Referee Jeff Jarrett). The 2nd most important match Jeff is part of this weekend. Pat McAfee vs. Happy Corbin. This could steal the show. Raw Women's Champion Bianca Belair vs. Becky Lynch, Is it 2021 all over again? Riddle vs. Seth “Freakin” Rollins, wait why? I miss Cody. Was it cancelled? Logan Paul vs. The Miz, who is the baby face in this feud? I think we hate them both? The Mysterios vs. Finn Bálor & Damian Priest of The Judgment Day (No Disqualification Match). Well at least it is no DQ this time.Bilal breaks it down, comment at www.twitter.com/bilalv87

SiriusXM Canada's Senior Producer of Podcast Operations and Host of The Bilal Vakani Hour on SiriusXM 167 Canada Talks & Daniel Shehori preview Money In The Bank 2022. The Men's 2022 Money in the Bank Ladder Match: Riddle vs Seth Rollins vs Drew McIntyre vs Omos vs Sheamus vs Sami Zayn vs ?. Drew McIntyre has already challenged Roman to a title match at Clash at the Castle in September. Riddle just lost, Omos is not ready, Sheamus feels like filler. So I suspect Sami or Seth will walk out the winner. The Women's Money in the Bank Ladder Match: Lacey Evans vs Liv Morgan vs Alexa Bliss vs Raquel Rodriguez vs Asuka vs Shotzi vs Becky Lynch. Lacey Evans has almost disappeared since qualifying, Raquel just had her shot at Ronda, Asuka won recently, Shotzi is in there to do spots, Liv Morgan has been there and lost before, Alexa could get a title shot anytime but Becky could take this contract to give herself a title match at WrestleMania and proceed to just lose her way to the show of shows. The SmackDown Women's Champion Ronda Rousey vs. Natalya. The build to this has been outstanding, the best of anything in AEW or WWE of late. Ronda retains but Natalya has made this extremely personal and entraining. The Raw Women's Champion Bianca Belair vs. Carmella. Carmella has done less well as a short term title contender but will deliver in the match. The Undisputed WWE Tag Team Champions The Usos vs. The Street Profits. It would be shocking to see The Street Profits take the belts here. The United States Champion Theory vs. Bobby Lashley. It is hard to see WWE taking the title off Theory so close to a John Cena program.

SiriusXM Canada's Senior Producer of Podcast Operations and Host of The Bilal Vakani Hour on SiriusXM 167 Canada Talks & Daniel Shehori offer an extra early preview of AEW x NJPW's Forbidden Door. Jon Moxley vs. Hiroshi Tanahashi - Singles match for the Interim AEW World Championship. The match should be great but is there any real story here? Pac vs. Miro vs. Malakai Black or Penta Oscuro vs. TBD - Four-Way Match For The Inaugural AEW All-Atlantic Championship. Japan is part of the Atlantic? Chris Jericho and Sammy Guevara and Minoru Suzuki vs. Eddie Kingston, Wheeler Yuta and Shota Umino - Trios Match. This could be interesting. Will Ospreay (c) vs. Orange Cassidy - Singles Match For The IWGP United States Heavyweight Championship. In a match that should steal the show. Thunder Rosa (c) vs. Toni Storm - Singles match For The AEW Women's World Championship. Is this match even on the right show?! FTR (Dax Harwood and Cash Wheeler) (ROH World Tag Team Champions) vs. United Empire (Great-O-Khan and Jeff Cobb) (IWGP Tag Team Champions) vs. Roppongi Vice (Trent Beretta and Rocky Romero) - Three-Way Winner Takes All Tag Team Match For The ROH World Tag Team Championship and IWGP Tag Team Championship. Wish we had a third AEW title up for grabs here.

SiriusXM Canada's Senior Producer of Podcast Operations and Host of The Bilal Vakani Hour on SiriusXM 167 Canada Talks & The Second City's Daniel Shehori preview WWE Hell In A Cell and In Your House. Cody Rhodes vs. Seth “Freakin” Rollins (Hell in a Cell Match). This has over delivered much to the credit of Cody and Seth. Raw Women's Champion Bianca Belair vs. Asuka vs. Becky Lynch (Triple Threat Match). It is great to see Asuka back but this does feel like a lesser program than if Sasha and Naomi hadn't walked out. Bobby Lashley vs. Omos & MVP (Handicap Match). Hopefully Shelton Benjamin evens the odds a little but this still feels fresher than it should. Ezekiel vs. Kevin Owens. In what has been a lot of fun, but can the match live up to the nonsense. Finn Bálor, AJ Styles & Liv Morgan vs. The Judgment Day. The WWE's bullet club features Liv Morgan… United States Champion Theory vs. Mustafa Ali. Could Mustafa be destined for Judgment Day after a loss here? NXT Champion Bron Breakker vs. Joe Gacy. Was WWE inspired by Netflix? NXT Women's Champion Mandy Rose vs Wendy Choo. Sadly Mandy will likely retain here. NXT North American Champion Cameron Grimes vs. Carmelo Hayes. When is Nathan Frazer getting his title shot? NXT Tag Team Champions Pretty Deadly vs. The Creed Brothers. In what has grown into a good program. NXT Women's Tag Team Champions Toxic Attraction vs Katana Chance & Kayden Carter. Please let Toxic Attraction lose. Legado del Fantasma vs Tony D'Angelo, Stacks & Two Dimes. In a winner takes all match of sorts.

SiriusXM Canada's Senior Producer of Podcast Operations and Host of The Bilal Vakani Hour on SiriusXM 167 Canada Talks & The Second City's Daniel Shehori preview AEW Double Or Nothing 2022. AEW World Championship -- "Hangman" Adam Page (c) vs. CM Punk. Is Hangman better on the chase? CM Punk offers more possibilities as champion going forward but the build to this much has not been as great as it should have been. MJF vs. Wardlow is finally happening and it feels months too late to resonate how it should have. Adam Cole vs. Samoa Joe (Men's Owen Hart Cup Finals), the NXT version of this feud offered so much more narrative. The Hardys vs. The Young Bucks in another match that is just kind of is happening. AEW Tag Team Championship -- Jungle Boy & Luchasaurus (c) vs. Team Taz vs. Keith Lee & Swerve Strickland after surviving better teams it is hard to see Jurassic Express not retaining here. House of Black vs. Death Triangle but when are they gonna turn Julia Hart heel? Jericho Appreciation Society vs. Blackpool Combat Club, Eddie Kingston, Santana & Ortiz (Anarchy in the Arena) this could and should steal the whole show. AEW Women's World Championship -- Thunder Rosa (c) vs. Serena Deeb. My goodness can neither of them cut a promo. What a disappointment. AEW TBS Championship -- Jade Cargill (c) vs. Anna Jay didn't Anna Jay already lose to Jade? Is there no one else left to face her? Hookhausen vs. Tony Nese & Mark Sterling this should actually be a lot of fun. Dr. Britt Baker, D.M.D. vs. Ruby Soho or Kris Statlander (Women's Owen Hart Cup Finals) Baker has seemingly run out of things to do as a heel so regardless of who she faces this should serve to turn her baby face one way or another.

SiriusXM Canada's Senior Producer of Podcast Operations and Host of The Bilal Vakani Hour on SiriusXM 167 Canada Talks & The Second City's Daniel Shehori preview WWE WrestleMania Backlash 2022. All six matches, five of which are not for championships. SmackDown Women's Champion Charlotte Flair vs. Ronda Rousey (“I Quit” Match). In what should be the main event of the night by far. Drew McIntyre & Raw Tag Team Champions RK-Bro vs. Undisputed WWE Universal Champion Roman Reigns & SmackDown Tag Team Champions The Usos (Six-Man Tag Team Match). A match that Drew has to win to justify delaying or cancelling the tag team title unification all together.  Cody Rhodes vs Seth Rollins part 2 just without any of the surprise or intrigue of the first match. Cody winning and moving on would make the most sense so that surely will not happen. AJ Styles vs. Edge (Damian Priest Barred From Ringside) here is hoping this is the introduction of a new member of Edge's faction.  Bobby Lashley vs. Omos in what should be a fairly short match even with MVP ringside. Happy Corbin vs. Madcap Moss which represents one of the few advancements in a post WrestleMania story. But at least this show should be short… let's hope.

WrestleMania Could Be Great This Year Criminal Lawyer, Legal Expert, Political Commentator and Host of The Ari Goldkind on SiriusXM 167 Canada Talks joins SiriusXM Canada's Senior Producer of Podcast Operations and Host of The Bilal Vakani Hour on SiriusXM 167 Canada Talks & Second City's Daniel Shehori to preview both nights of WWE WrestleMania 2022. WWE Champion Brock Lesnar vs. Universal Champion Roman Reigns in a Winner Take All Championship Unification Match. "Stone Cold" Steve Austin to confront Kevin Owens on "The KO Show" at WrestleMania SmackDown Women's Champion Charlotte Flair vs. Ronda Rousey Raw Women's Champion Becky Lynch vs. Bianca Belair Seth Rollins to face an opponent of Mr. McMahon's choosing on WrestleMania Saturday. Hopefully it is Cody Rhodes. Johnny Knoxville vs. Sami Zayn in a Anything Goes Match Edge vs. AJ Styles Rey & Dominik Mysterio vs. The Miz & Logan Paul Pat McAfee vs. Austin Theory Women's Tag Team Champions Queen Zelina & Carmella vs. Sasha Banks & Naomi vs. Rhea Ripley & Liv Morgan vs. Natalya & Shayna Baszler Raw Tag Team Champions RK-Bro vs. The Street Profits vs. Alpha Academy in a Triple Threat Match SmackDown Tag Team Champion The Usos vs. Shinsuke Nakamura & Rick Boogs Drew McIntyre vs. Happy Corbin Xavier Woods & Kofi Kingston vs. Sheamus & Ridge Holland Bobby Lashley vs. Omos

SiriusXM Canada Host and Senior Producer Bilal Vakani and Second City's Daniel Shehori preview AEW Revolution 2022. "Hangman" Page vs. Adam Cole (AEW World Championship). It seems Hangman is much better chasing a championship than holding one so this should be the end of his run. Britt Baker vs. Thunder Rosa (AEW Women's World Championship). Baker's run has lost almost all interest; the division desperately needs a new champion to shake things up. Jurassic Express vs. reDRagon vs. Young Bucks (AEW World Tag Team Championship). Jurassic Express seems doomed to have their title run go extinct here. With a more interesting Bucks/reDRagon feud to replace it. Jade Cargill vs. Tay Conti (TBS Championship). If Anna Jay could not defeat Jade it is hard to see Tay doing any better. MJF vs. CM Punk. A match seemingly too little too late and nowhere near as interesting. Bryan Danielson vs. Jon Moxley. Regardless of the outcome so long as Bryan and Jon teamup the results should be very interesting. Chris Jericho vs. Eddie Kingston. Hopefully Jericho is willing to put Kingston over but we have our doubts. Andrade El Idolo, Matt Hardy and Isiah Kassidy vs. Sting, Darby Allin and Sammy Guevara. It is very possible the Rampage title match will be better than the Pay Per View match and that is a problem. Keith Lee vs Wardlow vs Powerhouse Hobbs vs Ricky Starks vs Orange Cassidy vs Ethan Page/Christian Cage – Face of the Revolution Ladder Match for a shot at the TNT Championship. But you can just ask for a title shot anytime?! Hook vs QT Marshall (Pre-Show) Kris Statlander vs Leila Hersh (Pre-Show)

SiriusXM Canada Host and Senior Producer of Podcast Operations Bilal Vakani and Second City's Daniel Shehori preview the 2022 WWE Elimination Chamber. It looks like WWE is afraid to rock the boat too much before WrestleMania. In the WWE Championship Elimination Chamber Match Bobby Lashley defends against Seth Rollins, Austin Theory, Riddle, Brock Lesnar and AJ Styles. Despite a good field of competitors there are only a couple probable winners. Universal Champion Roman Reigns vs. Goldberg in a match no one really asked for and is a bit too late to really spark anyone's attention. Raw Women's Champion Becky Lynch vs. Lita with some great promo work but 0 matches beyond the Royal Rumble for Lita this one could be very disappointing. Ronda Rousey & Naomi vs. SmackDown Women's Champion Charlotte Flair & Sonya Deville in a match Dan expected to be on Smackdown not a premium live event. Liv Morgan vs. Rhea Ripley vs. Bianca Belair vs. Doudrop vs. Nikki A.S.H. vs. Alexa Bliss (Winner earns an opportunity at the Raw Women's Title at WrestleMania). This match offers the biggest toss up of the night that could steal the show. SmackDown Tag Team Champions The Usos vs. Viking Raiders in a match that would make more sense closer to WrestleMania itself. Drew McIntyre vs. Madcap Moss (Falls Count Anywhere Match) in a Royal Rumble rematch that will lead us to a WrestleMania match with very little interest. Rey Mysterio vs. The Miz in a match I honestly forgot was on the card.

SiriusXM Canada Host and Producer Bilal Vakani, Second City's Daniel Shehori and Never Sleep Network's Alex Ross preview the 2022 WWE Royal Rumble. The three of them all agree that Edge and Beth Phoenix will defeat the Miz and Maryse in their first match as a tag team. Also that Raw Women's Champion Becky Lynch will retain her Women's title against Doudrop. As well as Universal Champion Roman Reigns defending his title against Seth Rollins. However, things are less clear when it comes to Brock Lesnar and Bobby Lashley for the WWE Champion match. In a match that could see Lashley regain the title. As for the Men's Royal Rumble Team Alex is: Brock Lesnar, AJ Styles, Sheamus, Rey Mysterio, Happy Corbin, Dominik Mysterio, Drew McIntyre, Johnny Knoxville, Dolph Ziggler and Edge, Team Dan: Omos, Austin Theory, Kevin Owen, Bron Breakker, Gunter, Shane Mchamon, Otis, LA King, Chad Gable and Cody Rhodes. Team Bilal: Big E, Riddle, Randy Orton, Seth Rollins, Bobby Lashley, Damien Priest, Sami Zayn, Kofi Kingston, Xavier Wood and Cesaro. And in the Women's Royal Rumble Team Alex: Bianca, Belair, Asuka, Sasha Banks, Shayna, Paige, Carmella, Tamina, Kelly Kelly, Dana Brooke and Brie Bella Team Dan: Ronda Rousey, Bayley, Naomi, Lita, Mickie James, Sonya Deville, Mandy Rose, Xia Li, Trish Stratus and Big Swole. Team Bilal: Alexa Bliss, Rhea Ripley, Charlotte, Liv Morgan, Nikki Bella, Nikki Ash, Raquel Gonzalez, Queen Zelina, Io and Natayla. Overall it looks to be a show that offers more then it can possibly deliver.

SiriusXM Canada Host/Producer Bilal Vakani and Second City's Daniel Shehori preview the first edition of WWE Day 1. Universal Champion Roman Reigns takes on Brock Lesnar. Will Paul Heyman be the difference maker in this feud and when will it finally end? WWE Champion Big E title match with Seth Rollins now included Kevin Owens and Bobby Lashley (Fatal 4-Way Match). Big E should retain but will he? Will we see the full Fatal 4-Way match or will a few wrestlers be unable to fight. Raw Women's Champion Becky Lynch vs. Liv Morgan. In a match that really did not need to be on this show or possibly at all. SmackDown Tag Team Champions The Usos vs. The New Day. In a match I entirely forgot was happening and seems months too late. Edge vs. The Miz. But when are they gonna get to Beth Phoenix or are they not going to at all. Drew McIntyre vs. Madcap Moss. As we wait for Corbin to finally go 1 on 1 with Drew likely at The Royal Rumble. Raw Tag Team Champions RK-Bro vs. The Street Profits. In a match that should give us one of the greatest RKO counters of all time! Plus what Dan and Bilal think of NXT 2.0 of late and AEW's run of greatness!

SiriusXM Canada Host/Producer Bilal Vakani and Second City's Daniel Shehori preview WWE NXT WarGames 2021. The new generation looks to stake claim to NXT 2.0 as the team of Bron Breaker, Tony D'Angelo, Carmelo Hayes, Grayson Waller march into NXT WarGames vs the NXT Originals Tommaso Ciampa, Johnny Gargano, Pete Dunne, LA Knight. In a match that makes more plot holes than sense. Gonzalez, Shirai, Jade and Ray go to war with Toxic Attraction and Kai at NXT WarGames. This match could expose how raw Jade and two thirds of Toxic Attraction truly are. Roderick Strong opens a Cruiserweight Championship opportunity to Joe Gacy. Could this be the end of the 205 weight limit? Duke Hudson looks to finish the job in Hair vs. Hair Match with Cameron Grimes. In a feud that has been ok but we are ready to be done with. Grimes seems the better choice to explore the consequences of losing more than anything else. Kyle O'Reilly & Von Wagner look to end Imperium's reign before it starts. The battle of two teams that will likely not be in the tag team title picture long in NXT 2.0. Also has AEW completely surpassed NXT at this point? Who from NXT 2.0 will find themselves on Raw, Smackdown or fired in 6 months?

Criminal Lawyer, Legal Expert, Political Commentator and Host of The Ari Goldkind Show on SiriusXM 167 Canada Talks joins SiriusXM Canada Host/Producer Bilal Vakani and Second City's Daniel Shehori to preview WWE Survivor Series 2021 Raw Women's Champion Becky Lynch vs. SmackDown Women's Champion Charlotte Flair. Becky needs the win and Flair is toxic. WWE Champion Big E vs. Universal Champion Roman Reigns. Does Roman keep dominating or does Big E get the rub? Men's 5-on-5 Traditional Survivor Series Elimination Match: Team Raw (Seth Rollins, Finn Bálor, Kevin Owens, Austin Theory and "The All Mighty" Bobby Lashley with the last two replacing Rey & Dominik Mysterio) vs. Team SmackDown (Drew McIntyre, The New Day's King Woods, Jeff Hardy, Happy Corbin, Sheamus (replaced Sami Zayn).  Women's 5-on-5 Traditional Survivor Series Elimination Match: Team Raw has: Bianca Belair, WWE Women's Tag Team Champion Rhea Ripley, Liv Morgan, Carmella and Queen Zelina. Team SmackDown is represented by Captain Sasha Banks, Shotzi, Shayna Baszler, Natalya and newcomer Toni Storm. (replaced Aliyah). Soul Survivor should be Liv Morgan as she hasn't lost her title shot yet… Raw Tag Team Champions RK-Bro vs. SmackDown Tag Team Champions The Usos. Will this feed into the breakup of RK-Bro? United States Champion Damian Priest vs. Intercontinental Champion Shinsuke Nakamura 25-Man Dual Brand Battle Royal: Ricochet, T-BAR, Mansoor, Cesaro, Montez Ford, Angelo Dawkins, Erik, Ivar, R-Truth, Drew Gulak, AJ Styles, Omos, Sami Zayn, Humberto, Angel Apollo Crews, Commander Azeez, Otis, Chad Gable, Shelton Benjamin, Cedric Alexander, Dolph Ziggler, Robert Roode, Jinder Mahal, Shanky. Is this just about screwing Sami?

SiriusXM Canada Host/Producer Bilal Vakani, Second City's Exuective Producer Jon Carr and Public Relations Expert Daniel Shehori preview AEW Full Gear 2021. We debate if the AEW World Championship should change hands as Kenny Omega faces "Hangman" Adam Page. There are no such questions about: AEW Women's Championship -- Dr. Britt Baker, D.M.D. (c) vs. Tay Conti. Bryan Danielson vs. Miro Elimantor Finals match could be very telling as to who is World Champion at the end of the night it is hard to envision Miro facing Kenny Omega. CM Punk vs. Eddie Kingston has provided a better story in a few weeks than anything else on the card with the promo segment of the year. The Inner Circle (Chris Jericho, Jake Hager, Sammy Guevara, Santana & Ortiz) vs. Men of the Year (Ethan Page & Scorpio Sky) and American Top Team (Junior dos Santos, Andrei Arlovski & Dan Lambert) could this be the worst match on the card? The AEW Tag Team Championships showdown between Lucha Brothers (c) vs. FTR is the start of hopefully more greatness from these teams. Darby Allin vs. MJF in a battle for the future of this company where MJF seems most stuided. This card is long enough without: Christian Cage & Jurassic Express vs. Superkliq (Adam Cole & The Young Bucks). Also Cody gave himself some match!

Could WWE Crown Jewel be one of the Best Shows of The Year?! SiriusXM Canada Host/Producer Bilal Vakani and Second City's Daniel Shehori preview WWE Crown Jewel 2021. The show is headlined by Universal Champion Roman Reigns vs. Brock Lesnar which is by far the most interesting match of the night that could go either way but it is all downhill from there. WWE Champion Big E vs. Drew McIntyre in a match that could go either way if you dream hard enough. WWE has written themselves into a corner with SmackDown Women's Champion Becky Lynch vs. Bianca Belair vs. Sasha Banks (Triple Threat Match). Goldberg vs. Bobby Lashley (No Holds Barred Match) and if I never see Goldberg wrestle again that's ok. Edge vs. Seth Rollins (Hell in a Cell) in a match either man can win. WWE Raw Tag Team Champions RK-Bro vs. AJ Styles & Omos in what should be an ok match. Mansoor vs. Mustafa Ali in a match the fans will really be into. Doudrop vs. Zelina Vega (Queen's Crown Tournament Finals) in a finals I would've never guessed. Finn Balor vs. Xavier Woods (King of the Ring Finals) in what will be a great match up.

SiriusXM Canada Host/Producer Bilal Vakani and Second City's Daniel Shehori preview WWE Extreme Rules 2021. Universal Champion Roman Reigns vs "The Demon" Finn Balor in his path to Brock Lesnar at Crown Jewel so there is no way The Tribal Chief is dethroned.  Raw Women's Champion Charlotte Flair vs Alexa Bliss with the prospect of Becky vs Charlotte shaping up for Survivor Series it is very unlikely Alexa Bliss becomes champion here. Smackdown Women's Champion Becky Lynch vs Bianca Belair while Bianca has shown well against Becky the possibility of Beck vs Charlotte is too great for WWE to pass up in November.   United States Champion Damian Priest vs Sheamus vs Jeff Hardy in a match where it makes 0 sense to take the title of Priest while Sheamus and Hardy have just kind of been there. Smackdown Tag Team Champions The Usos vs The Street Profits once again with Survivor Series around the corner it is hard to see WWE moving the title to The Street Profits in a possible match against Rated RKO.  Liv Morgan vs Carmella is a very odd match to have on this card but maybe it will serve to skyrocket Liv to a future womens title shot… hopefully. Also Dan and Bilal talk about the state of AEW.

SiriusXM Canada Host/Producer Bilal Vakani and Second City's Daniel Shehori preview AEW All Out 2021. They ask what match should be the main event: AEW Champion Kenny Omega vs. Christian Cage or CM Punk vs. Darby Allin (with Sting)? Also is Christian a credible enough threat to Kenny? They also disagree on who should win between CM Punk and Darby Allin. Chris Jericho vs MJF in their final match seems one too many. We lament why the AEW TNT Championship program between Miro and Eddie Kingston did not get more time to build up even bigger.  Paul White vs. QT Marshall really is not worthy of a Pay Per View. AEW Women's Championship Dr. Britt Baker D.M.D. defends against Kris Statlander but why?! Jon Moxley vs. Satoshji Kojima with next to no build or reason for us or you to care.  The Steel Cage AEW Tag Team Championship match between The Young Bucks and The Lucha Brothers will bang but we script a better build off the top of our heads in seconds. Can you name everyone in the Women's Casino Battle Royale and who should win if only to lose to the good doctor? AEW's website and both of us forget there is a Preshow 10-man tag match with The Best Friends and Jurassic Express vs. Hardy Family Office and The Hybrid.  Plus why AEW should move to a streaming platform ASAP.

SiriusXM Canada Host/Producer/Operator Bilal Vakani and Second City's Daniel Shehori preview WWE SummerSlam 2021. Despite some great promos between them it seems Universal Champion Roman Reigns will most likely hold on to the gold against John Cena. Raw Women's Champion Nikki A.S.H. vs. Rhea Ripley vs. Charlotte Flair in a Triple Threat Match might be the last chance to save the Rhea Ripley character. It is the battle of the spears as WWE Champion Bobby Lashley faces Goldberg in what we hope is a short match without a new champion. SmackDown Tag Team Champions The Usos take on Rey & Dominik Mysterio. It seems the only logical progression is to have the Mysteiro's lose and breakup either on the night or in the weeks to follow. SmackDown Women's Champion Bianca Belair vs. Sasha Banks is still happening and we are hoping Bianca brings some backup. Edge vs. Seth Rollins in a match that really should have drawn more on their history but still could give us two wrestlers that should main event in the near future. United States Champion Sheamus vs. Damian Priest should mark a title change that solidified Priest as a mid-carder on the rise. Drew McIntyre vs. Jinder Mahal hopefully with less silliness and just less in general. Alexa Bliss vs. Eva Marie should not be in doubt but while we are talking about it: they need to change Alexa's gimmick ASAP! Raw Tag Team Champions AJ Styles & Omos vs. RK-Bro in the biggest toss up of the night that could end in a RKO for Riddle either way.

With SiriusXM Canada Host/Producer/Operator Bilal Vakani and Second City's Daniel Shehori. In what should not be the main event WWE Champion Bobby Lashley will likely defend against Kofi Kingston if rumours of Goldberg's return are to be believed. Although a Big E cash in on fellow New Day friend and now WWE Champion Kofi Kingston would be great. In what should be the main event Universal Champion Roman Reigns faces Edge. While Seth Rollins cashing in on a champion Edge is interesting, so is a winner like Big E or another face trying and failing to cash in on Roman. So the big dog will likely keep the big belt. The Women's Money in the Bank will feature Alexa Bliss, Nikki A.S.H., Auska, Naomi, Liv Morgan, Zelina Vega, Natalya and Tamina. While the Women's Tag Team Champions seem like filler as does much of the field here. Alexa Bliss, Nikki and Liv Morgan are the any superstars with any build going into this with Alexa seeming to be the only one who could likely become champion via this briefcase. Aside from Kevin Owens, anyone in the men's Money in The Bank match could win it: Riddle, Ricochet, John Morrison, Big E, Drew McIntyre, The King of Strong Style or Seth Rollins. Riddle and Big E would make the most sense. Raw Women's Champion Rhea Ripley should defend her title vs Charlotte Flair. Raw Tag Team Champions AJ Styles & Omos vs. The Viking Raiders should be on the kickoff show. SmackDown Tag Team Champion Rey & Dominik Mysterio vs. The Usos should not be on the kickoff show.

Host of The Bilal Vakani Hour every Tuesday at 8pm ET on SiriusXM 167 Canada Talks Bilal Vakani and Second City's Daniel Shehori preview WWE Hell in The Cell. We remain disappointed by the entire card starting with WWE Champion Bobby Lashley vs. Drew McIntyre in a Hell in a Cell Match which may be the main event after Roman Reigns defended his WWE Title in the Cell on Smackdown against Rey Mysterio. Rhea Ripley vs. Charlotte Flair for the Raw Women's Championship Match should have been built around their deep history rather than the current narrative. SmackDown Women's Champion Bianca Belair vs. Bayley will take place in a Hell In a Cell Match which could be match of the night but again lacks meaningful build. Alexa Bliss vs. Shayna Baszler in a rivalry that has been taken way too seriously. Cesaro vs. Seth Rollins is likely the match Bilal is most excited about due to an average build which is the best we can hope for apparently. Kevin Owens vs. Sami Zayn go at it again because why not? We also look ahead to a hint that AEW maybe coming to our favourite city ever Toronto! Plus is WWE Smackdown better than AEW Dynamite and if so can it stay that way?

SiriusXM Canada Host/Producer/Operator Bilal Vakani and Second City's Daniel Shehori preview WWE NXT TakeOver: In Your House. In what should be a short but strong show. NXT Champion Karrion Kross with Scarlett vs. Kyle O'Reilly vs. Adam Cole vs. Johnny Gargano vs. Pete Dunne in a Fatal 5-Way Match that we can only see two men winning and the other going to Raw to Smackdown shortly after if not both! NXT Women's Champion Raquel Gonzalez vs. Ember Moon in a match where it is very unlikely the championship will be changing hands. NXT North American Champion Bronson Reed & NXT Tag Team Champions MSK vs. Legado del Fantasma in a Winner Take All Six-Man Tag that could be match of the night. Cameron Grimes vs. LA Knight in a Ladder Match for the Million Dollar Championship. While we love Cameron Grimes he will not be going straight to the moon as it seems he has found his own niche that doesn't fit with the gimmick at hand. Mercedes Martinez vs. Xia Li in a match that hopefully lifts Xia closer to a top title run. While Mercedes should also be used in a bigger capacity.

SiriusXM Canada Host/Producer/Operator Bilal Vakani and Second City's Daniel Shehori talk AEW Champion Kenny Omega defending against PAC and Orange Cassidy in a three-way match. Despite how great The Bastard and Freshly Squeezed have been it is very hard to see the title changing hands. Stadium Stampede: The Inner Circle vs The Pinnacle which has been built great but the result seems hopeless. Either you disband The Inner Circle too soon to properly feud with The Pinnacle or you derail the momentum The Pinnacle has built up. AEW Tag Team Champions The Young Bucks vs Jon Moxley & Eddie Kingston. Lets just hope this match does not randomly fade to black. But in all seriousness it should be a great match that could go either way. AEW Women's Champion Hikaru Shida vs Dr. Britt Baker D.M.D. with Rebel NOT REBA. Shida a year into being champion still feels like one of the least important champions in all of wrestling. AEW desperately needs to shift the title to Baker. Beyond that they need to avoid even going to a rematch for the title after. TNT Champion Miro vs Lance Archer w/ Jake “The Snake” Roberts in a battle of the big boys. After an awful start it seems Tony Kahn has finally found out how to book Miro right so do not mess with that now by having him drop the title. Sting & Darby Allin vs Scorpio Sky & Ethan Page and we couldn't care less.  Hangman Page vs Brian Cage with Tazz and the FTW title is not even on the line!  We also talk Cody vs the UK, the Battle Royal, the NWA Women's Title and more.

Bilal breaks it down, comment at www.twitter.com/bilalv87

SiriusXM Canada Host/Producer/Operator Bilal Vakani, Second City's Daniel Shehori and Never Sleep Network's Alex Ross preview WrestleMania 37.

SiriusXM Canada Host/Producer/Operator Bilal Vakani and Second City's Daniel Shehori preview WWE Fastlane. Daniel thinks the Universal Champion match between Roman Reigns and Daniel Bryan will hopefully setup a triple threat with Edge at WrestleMania. Could the WWE Women's Tag Team Champions Shayna Baszler & Nia Jax drop their belts to Sasha Banks & Bianca Belair forcing the EST and the Boss to pull double duty at Mania? Bilal and Dan forsee a title change as Intercontinental Champion Big E faces Apollo Crews. With a rematch on the horizion to keep Big E active and bridge into other programs until he can win the Royal Rumble next year. In a match few want to see again it is Drew McIntyre vs. Sheamus but this time it is No Holds Barred. Why this match exisits when Drew is already facing Bobby Lashley at Mania is preplexing. Randy Orton vs. Alexa Bliss in what we can only hope is the return of Bray Wyatt. Shinsuke Nakamura vs. Seth Rollins in a match with days of build. United States Champion Riddle shouldn't have much trouble defending against Mustafa Ali but does this mean we will not see Kofi Kingston vs Ali at WrestleMania? Also what is happening with Braun Strowman vs Shane McMahon?

SiriusXM Canada Host/Producer/Operator Bilal Vakani, Second City's Daniel Shehori and Never Sleep Network's Alex Ross preview AEW Revolution 2021. After a long gap between pay per views Bilal has largely lost interest in most of the programs and isn't expecting much. Daniel is still very invested and excited for Sunday's show. While Alex.... just wants more Shaq! While the Exploding Barbed Wire Death Match between AEW World Champion Kenny Omega and Jon Moxley looks interesting its hard for anyone to see a title change taking place right after Jon dropped the title to Kenny. When it comes to the AEW World Tag Team Champions The Young Bucks are taking on the Inner Circle's Chris Jericho and MJF you do have a solid chance of the titles at least changing hands with some intrigue around future programs. Who will face Hikaru Shida for the AEW Women's Championship? AEW didn't care enough to update their website after Dynamite so why should we? The Street Fight between Brian Cage and Ricky Starks of Team Tazz and Sting along with TNT Champion Darby Allin promises no TNT or FTW title changes and makes us wish it was a cinematic match. As for the Face of the Revolution Ladder Match this really feels like an after thought that hopefully overdelivers on the night with little to no build. The Big Money Match between Matt Hardy and Hangman Page should be fun but is silly as a concept. There is also the Casino Tag Team Match which could go any number of directions and that's a good thing!
