WWE increased its momentum entering football season with a strong week of TV -- and Getting Over is here to break it down! Host Adam Silverstein and co-host Chris Vannini open The Main Event [8:25] by detailing a segment-of-the-year contender featuring Chelsea Green that expanded to include GUNTHER, Tiffany Stratton and Fatal Influence with Jacy Jayne winning gold. The guys also discuss the ups and downs of CM Punk vs. Kevin Owens and intensity ratcheting up in Cody Rhodes vs. Randy Orton. "The Silver King" and "Vintage" then analyze The Good, The Bad and The Ugly [1:00:40] on Solo Sikoa and LA Knight standing tall over Roman Reigns and The Bloodline, Stephanie Vaquer being at odds with Becky Lynch while eyeing Liv Morgan, Penta legitimately contending for a world title, Sol Ruca defeating Lyra Valkyria, Paul Heyman's positioning in Oba Femi vs. Bron Breakker, plus much more! Follow Getting Over on Twitter, Bluesky & YouTube @GettingOverCast.

Howse, Voice & OG Tony discuss all the fallout from the August 14, 2026 edition of WWE SmackDown, including TWO championship changes, CM Punk and Kevin Owens getting personal, and Cody Rhodes and Randy Orton completely losing control in Boston!

WWE Superstar Carmelo Hayes joins the guys to discuss his dream matches with both current and retired wrestlers and his favorite things to do when returning to Boston.

There was too much WWE to discuss in a single episode, so Getting Over is back to break down everything else from Raw and SmackDown! Host Adam Silverstein and co-host Chris Vannini immediately dive into The Good, The Bad and The Ugly tackling the positives and negatives of Roman Reigns' luchador invitational, Tatum Paxley aligning with Charlotte Flair and Alexa Bliss while joining an overloaded SmackDown women's division with call-ups like Blake Monroe and Jordynne Grace missing in action, Bron Breakker being fully focused on supplanting Oba Femi, the disparity in Dominik Mysterio's booking between AAA and WWE, plus a look at what's ahead for Liv Morgan, Becky Lynch, Stephanie Vaquer, Lyra Valkyria, Carmelo Hayes, Shinsuke Nakamura and others. Follow Getting Over on Twitter, Bluesky & YouTube (@GettingOverCast).

The episode begins with banter and a recap of UncleBlacc215's TED Talk. The conversation then shifts to Carmelo Hayes' situation and the mystery surrounding his absence from wrestling events. The hosts discuss Baron Corbin's return and analyze the SummerSlam matches. They also share their thoughts on Brock Lesnar vs. Oba Femi, CM Punk vs. Cody Rhodes, the Intercontinental Title Match, Sami Zayn vs. Finn Balor, and the Women's Ladder Match. The episode concludes with technical difficulties and humorous commentary.TakeawaysMystery surrounding Carmelo Hayes' absenceAnalysis of SummerSlam matches and predictionsChapters00:00 Opening Banter and TED Talk Recap03:23 Carmelo Hayes' Situation06:02 Baron Corbin's Return and SummerSlam Matches13:17 Brock Lesnar vs. Oba Femi16:01 CM Punk vs. Cody Rhodes17:36 Intercontinental Title Match and Sami Zayn vs. Finn Balor25:19 Women's Ladder Match and Technical Difficulties

Episode 194 is headlined by the return of Saturday Night's Main Event to Madison Square Garden, CM Punk's candid comments about WWE's backstage culture, the surprise return of Baron Corbin, and the official start of NJPW's G1 Climax 36 as one of wrestling's biggest weeks of the summer unfolds. We begin in WWE, where CM Punk sat down with Stephanie McMahon for one of his most revealing interviews since becoming Undisputed WWE Champion. Punk discusses why he believes WWE needs to do a better job providing constructive feedback to its talent, why too many wrestlers care more about social media reactions than live crowd responses, and why both performers and producers share responsibility for developing the next generation. We also discuss Punk's praise for WWE's current leadership, why he hopes future wrestlers work fewer dates while making more money than previous generations, and his emotional reflections on winning the Undisputed WWE Championship in his hometown of Chicago. Plus, Punk explains why watching John Cena and AJ Styles retire has motivated him to continue wrestling at the highest level as he prepares for SummerSlam. We also preview Saturday Night's Main Event XLV, as WWE brings one of its most historic television franchises back to Madison Square Garden for the first time since 2007. We look at the show's rich history dating back to 1985, how it became one of the defining programs of wrestling's boom period, and why WWE continues embracing its classic presentation today. We also preview CM Punk and Cody Rhodes taking on Gunther and Sami Zayn, Bayley facing Lyra Valkyria, Danhausen battling JD McDonagh in a No Disqualification Match, the Bella Twins defending the WWE Women's Tag Team Championship, and Roman Reigns' appearance alongside 2026 NBA Champion Jalen Brunson at The World's Most Famous Arena. We also discuss the surprise return of Baron Corbin, who made his first WWE television appearance since his release at the end of 2024 by attacking Carmelo Hayes and Trick Williams on SmackDown. Corbin laid out both men with End of Days before holding the United States Championship high above his head, immediately establishing himself as a new challenger. We also examine Corbin's run on the independent scene as Bishop Dyer, his MLW Tag Team Championship reign alongside Donovan Dijak, and his brief AEW appearance earlier this year before returning to WWE. Roman Reigns also had plenty to say following Monday's heated contract signing with Seth Rollins. After Rollins stood tall by delivering a Stomp on Raw, Reigns fired back on social media, claiming every major accomplishment of Rollins' career happened because of him while warning that The Bloodline could "end" him for the disrespect. We discuss the latest chapter in one of WWE's greatest rivalries and what it means heading into their World Heavyweight Championship match at SummerSlam. We also discuss the latest speculation surrounding Bayley's WWE future after Mercedes Moné once again fueled rumors with another social media tease. Following Bayley's Raw confrontation with Lyra Valkyria, Moné posted an hourglass GIF just weeks after sharing a WrestleDream graphic featuring herself against Bayley under her real name, Davina Rose. We discuss why fans continue to speculate about Bayley's future while emphasizing that there is currently no confirmation she is leaving WWE or signing with AEW. Over in AEW, one of the biggest stories isn't happening inside the ring but in the courtroom. Paramount Skydance's proposed $110 billion acquisition of Warner Bros. Discovery is facing a major legal challenge after a coalition of 12 state attorneys general filed a federal antitrust lawsuit seeking to block the merger. Led by California Attorney General Rob Bonta, the states argue the deal would combine two of Hollywood's five largest studios, reducing competition while leading to higher prices, fewer theatrical releases, and less content. Paramount maintains the merger is pro-competitive, expects to receive final European Union approval on July 22, and is still targeting a September closing despite the lawsuit. We discuss why the case could have long-term implications for AEW, whose multi-year media rights agreement with Warner Bros. Discovery includes Dynamite on TBS, Collision on TNT, and streaming on Max. While nothing changes for AEW today and its current television deal remains fully intact, the lawsuit creates uncertainty surrounding the future ownership of AEW's broadcast partner and what that could mean whenever the company's next media rights negotiations begin. Over in AEW, the company heads to Boston riding significant momentum after Beach Break delivered its largest television audience in years. We break down Wrestlenomics reporting that Beach Break averaged 773,000 viewers, up 22 percent from the previous week while finishing No. 4 on cable in the key demographic. We also discuss Fightful Select's report that AEW officials were thrilled with both the television numbers and Kenny Omega versus MJF, along with confirmation that the match's memorable table spot paid tribute to Mick Foley's iconic Mankind bump. Looking ahead to Dynamite, Kenny Omega celebrates becoming a two-time AEW World Champion as AEW continues building toward Redemption later this month, while WrestleTix reports Boston ticket sales have climbed to 2,628 distributed. We also discuss Hangman Page's emotional return to AEW Collision after nearly four months away. Reflecting on his inability to ever challenge for the AEW World Championship again following his Revolution loss to MJF, Page made it clear he's turning his attention toward new goals, teasing future pursuits of Kevin Knight's TNT Championship and Kyle Fletcher's International Championship as he begins the next chapter of his AEW career. From there, we head to New Japan Pro-Wrestling, where G1 Climax 36 is officially underway. We recap opening night from Chicago as IWGP World Heavyweight Champion Yota Tsuji defeated Konosuke Takeshita in the main event to earn his first two tournament points alongside Jake Lee, Yuto-Ice, Hirooki Goto, Ryohei Oiwa, Aaron Wolf, OSKAR, Zack Sabre Jr., and Callum Newman. We discuss the early standings, Gabe Kidd's visa-related absence, the history and prestige of the G1 Climax, and preview another loaded weekend of tournament action. Plus, we preview the week ahead across professional wrestling, including AEW Dynamite featuring Kenny Omega's World Championship Celebration, NXT, AAA on FOX, AEW Collision, TNA Impact, the opening week of G1 Climax 36, Saturday Night's Main Event from Madison Square Garden, and everything else to watch across WWE, AEW, NJPW, TNA, AAA, and the NWA.

Hoy en SmackDown pasó de todo y vamos a hablar claro de cada momento importante de la noche.Gunther exigió una revancha contra Cody Rhodes después del controversial final de su lucha en WWE Clash in Italy, pero el segmento se calentó cuando Sami Zayn interrumpió para dejar claro que él también puede ser una amenaza seria para Cody como campeón. Todo terminó en una tremenda refriega entre Gunther, Cody y Sami.También hablaremos del avance de Raquel Rodriguez en el torneo Queen of the Ring, luego de vencer a Bayley, Jacy Jayne y Kiana James. Además, Giulia puso fin a su alianza con Kiana James, dejando dudas sobre qué viene ahora para ella.En la división femenina, Rhea Ripley fue interrumpida por Charlotte Flair, Tiffany Stratton, Jade Cargill, B-Fab y Michin, lo que terminó provocando una lucha en parejas donde Jade Cargill y Michin vencieron a Charlotte y Tiffany.También analizamos la victoria de Ricky Saints sobre Carmelo Hayes, el triunfo de Lash Legend sobre Chelsea Green, y el gran resultado de la noche: Dominik Mysterio venciendo a Bron Breakker, Damian Priest y Trick Williams para avanzar a las semifinales del torneo King of the Ring.Esta noche repasamos todo lo que sucedió en SmackDown, lo bueno, lo malo y lo que puede cambiar el camino hacia los próximos eventos de WWE.#SmackDown #WWE #CodyRhodes #Gunther #DominikMysterio #KingOfTheRing #QueenOfTheRing #100WrestlingPodcast
