Recorded: September 15, 2025 Will Compton and Taylor Lewan are back on the bus and this week they’re joined by a true showman, WWE superstar and reality TV icon, The Miz. From main-eventing WrestleMania and taking on the likes of John Cena and Brock Lesnar to starring in his own reality show, The Miz has done it all, and now he’s hopping on the bus to talk life inside and outside the ring. Before the A-Lister joins, the Boys start off with some classic Bussin’ Bowl Banter and tease the most epic rivalry game in all of sports. Then it’s time for The Miz himself—one of the most decorated wrestlers in WWE history and arguably the greatest talker on the mic. The Boys kick off the interview with some Ro: Spicy Tier Talk. They then cover everything from Miz’s journey through MTV’s The Real World to WWE glory, how he keeps reinventing himself after two decades in the spotlight, and what it really takes to survive in the world’s most cutthroat entertainment business. Miz pulls no punches sharing stories about locker room politics, his most brutal matches, and the mindset that keeps him at the top. Whether you’re a diehard wrestling sicko or just here for some legendary storytelling, this one’s got something for everyone.

Welcome back to Wrestling Tonight, your weekly deep dive into the stories shaping the wrestling world across WWE, AEW, NJPW, TNA, ROH, and beyond. Episode 142 may well be one of the most pivotal editions yet. We begin with WrestleMania 43, officially confirmed for Saudi Arabia in 2027. For the first time in its history, WWE's signature event will leave North America in a deal reportedly worth nine figures. Executives are calling it a milestone in global expansion, but to many fans it feels like the monetization of wrestling's most sacred tradition. We will examine what this means for WrestleMania Week, the independent promotions and fan culture it usually powers, and whether AEW is poised to step into the void that WWE has left behind. AEW is carving its own historic moment as All Out makes its debut in Toronto. A sold-out Scotiabank Arena will host one of the most ambitious cards in company history. With a special afternoon start time and a new streaming model through HBO Max, this event could be remembered as the moment AEW transformed from challenger brand to global force. Back in WWE, the long-dormant WrestlePalooza returns as a reimagined flagship event streaming on ESPN's new subscription service. With John Cena colliding with Brock Lesnar one last time, Cody Rhodes defending against Drew McIntyre, AJ Lee stepping back into the ring after more than a decade, and IYO SKY taking on Stephanie Vaquer for the vacant Women's Championship, the lineup promises spectacle. Yet the price point of $29.99 per month raises difficult questions. Can WWE justify charging fans significantly more for leaner cards and heavier advertising, or will WrestlePalooza become a case study in overreach? Meanwhile in AAA, Dominik Mysterio stunned the wrestling world by leaving Las Vegas as the new Mega Champion. It was a controversial finish, emblematic of the uneasy but fascinating partnership between WWE and AAA, and it leaves fans questioning what comes next for both promotions. We also discuss the WWE release of Andrade this weekend. What happened? The week ahead is equally loaded, with Raw, SmackDown, NXT Homecoming, Impact, and AEW September to Remmember all set to deliver matches and moments that could shift the industry once again. All of this and more on Wrestling Tonight, where the stories are not just headlines but signposts of where the business is headed.

It doesn't matter how big a star you are, sometimes things just can't be helped. That is the case in today's video with the 2nd biggest PPV star the UFC's ever had in Brock Lesnar. What went wrong? How in the world could someone this popular be a failure in live attendance and PPV? We'll break it all down in this video.

Welcome back to Wrestling Tonight, your weekly deep dive into everything happening across WWE, AEW, NJPW, TNA, ROH, and beyond. Episode 141 covers a packed slate of returns, retirements, controversies, and major updates shaping the wrestling world. We begin with the biggest story of the week: AJ Lee's long-awaited WWE return. On SmackDown in Chicago, Lee appeared for the first time in a decade to confront Becky Lynch, dropping her with a Thesz press before celebrating with CM Punk. We'll cover the industry-wide reactions, from Saraya and Bayley to the official MLB account, and discuss WWE's reported plans to team Lee and Punk against Lynch and Seth Rollins at Wrestlepalooza. Next, we turn to John Cena's farewell tour, where his final stop in Chicago ended with a surprise Brock Lesnar return that set up their Wrestlepalooza main event. While many speculated Boston would host his retirement match, it has now been confirmed that Cena's final match will take place on December 13 in Washington, D.C. at Saturday Night's Main Event. We'll run through his remaining schedule and reflect on what this moment means for one of WWE's greatest stars. From there, we shift to AEW, where Will Ospreay is set for neck surgery that will sideline him for months after battling through injuries at Forbidden Door. We'll also look at AEW's evolving PPV strategy, as All Out becomes the first AEW show available on HBO Max at a discounted $39.99, and the start time has been moved up to 3 p.m. Eastern to avoid a direct clash with WWE's Wrestlepalooza. With Adam Copeland & Christian Cage vs. FTR the first announced match, we discuss the significance of this new distribution model and what it means for AEW's future. On the WWE side, AJ Styles continues to tease retirement, posting a symbolic hourglass graphic as reports confirm his contract expires in early 2026. Meanwhile, Chris Jericho addressed his AEW future, saying he's open to a WWE return once his current deal concludes at year's end. We unpack how both men are positioning their final career chapters. Finally, we examine Matt Riddle's latest controversy, as he no-showed Global Wrestling Kingdom's debut charity event in the UK, only to wrestle unadvertised in Florida the same day. With conflicting accounts between Riddle and the promotion, we review the fallout, his repayment of the deposit, and what this means for his standing on the independent circuit. All this plus updates from across the industry as WWE and AEW prepare for one of the most pivotal months of the year.

Until next Monday, when we wine and dine with you kings and queens, stay out of the alley and away from the pork and beans: good luck and good speed.

AJ Lee is officially back in WWE, signing a multi-year full-time contract. Fans are buzzing about her return and what's next for the former Divas Champion. WWE Clash in Paris delivered big moments: Seth Rollins triumphed in a Fatal 4-Way, Roman Reigns won but left to film Street Fighter, and John Cena faced Logan Paul. Jey Uso showed a more serious side but needed Jimmy's help against The Vision. WrestlePalooza is shaping up with John Cena, Brock Lesnar, and a stacked SmackDown lineup featuring Drew McIntyre vs. Randy Orton and Tiffany Stratton defending her title. Plus, Street Profits breakup rumors resurface, and AJ Styles' contract ends in 2026—does he deserve a farewell tour?

But, a little-known fact about Tommy's career is that he was the head writer of WWE (WWF at the time)) during their most successful period, starting in 1999, taking over for Vince Russo, who left for the competition.
