It's one of the biggest and most unpredictable weeks of the year in professional wrestling, and Wrestling Tonight is here for all of it. Episode 145 takes you from the glow of Perth to the grit of Lowell, from The CW's cross-promotional chaos to AEW's calm confidence on Title Tuesday. Every company is making a statement and not all of them are speaking the same language. WWE Crown Jewel heads to Australia for the first time, trading the desert lights of Riyadh for the arena shine of Perth. On paper, it's a landmark: the first Crown Jewel outside Saudi Arabia, another PLE on ESPN in the US, and John Cena's final international PLE before retirement. But beneath the historic veneer, this show feels more corporate than creative. Cody Rhodes vs Seth Rollins is technically “brand warfare,” but the Crown Jewel title still feels like a branding exercise without meaning. Stephanie Vaquer vs Tiffany Stratton offers contrast and quality, but the match's stakes are as vague as the men's. Rhea Ripley's homecoming with Iyo Sky and Cena's farewell with AJ Styles will give the event its emotion, but the rest feels like presentation over purpose — a global commercial dressed up as a PLE. Across the ocean, TNA returns to Lowell for Bound for Glory, a show that should be the company's proudest moment but instead feels like a balancing act between rebirth and identity crisis. Trick Williams defends the TNA World Championship against Mike Santana in a match that will showcase charisma and intensity, but still carries the shadow of crossover influence. The Hardys and Team 3D will blow the roof off in a nostalgia-fueled tables match, yet it's a reminder that TNA's tag division still leans too heavily on its past. Leon Slater vs Je'Von Evans for the X Division Championship might be the purest wrestling of the night — a true flash of the TNA that once made fans believe. And Kelani Jordan vs Indi Hartwell for the Knockouts title should deliver, even if it highlights how much of the division's spotlight now comes from NXT. Bound for Glory 2025 will probably be a strong show bell-to-bell, but it's also an identity test — can TNA still feel like TNA while sharing its spotlight with WWE's developmental system? Meanwhile, AEW isn't flinching. Title Tuesday goes head-to-head with WWE and TNA's Showdown special on The CW, but Tony Khan isn't chasing the scoreboard anymore. AEW knows exactly what it is — and it's not playing defense. With Andrade El Idolo's shocking return and the debut of El Clon as the newest member of The Don Callis Family, AEW's creative direction feels confident, deliberate, and entirely its own. The “no-win” narrative misses the point: AEW doesn't need to win the week — it just needs to keep telling stories that matter. Elsewhere, Hikaru Shida confirmed she's re-signed with AEW, ending retirement rumors sparked by her stage work in Japan. And in Mexico, Bandido suffered a shoulder injury during his successful ROH World Title defense against Hechicero at CMLL Viernes Espectacular. Despite the setback, he's expected to continue teaming with Brody King as the AEW Tag Team Champions “Brodido.” The other side of that fight — the NXT/TNA Showdown — looks sharper than anyone expected after WWE scrapped the “Invasion” branding. The teams are locked, the captains are set, Mustafa Ali finally gets the North American Title shot he was promised before his 2023 release, and the tag titles from both companies go on the line between The Hardys and DarkState. Joe Hendry's vow to appear and Jordynne Grace's role as guest referee add the kind of wild-card energy that could make this one of the more memorable Tuesday nights in years. From Perth's global showcase to Lowell's nostalgia-fueled battleground, from AEW's quiet confidence to WWE's marketing machine, this week proves just how fragmented and fascinating the modern wrestling landscape has become. Every company is thriving — but not all of them know who they are.

We go 3-wide this week with The Two Bad Chads and Colton! Join us as we ask is this a true resurgence built by TNA, or a borrowed identity propped up by WWE that could collapse overnight; are open challenges the best vehicle for creating new stars quickly, or do they devalue matches that should be saved for big stages; and six years in, is AEW still the genuine alternative it set out to be, or has it become the very thing it tried not to be? It's going to be a fun week here at The Tavern, so to make sure you do not miss anything, go to patreon.com/theturnbuckletavern for all your Tavern needs!

Plus, McNeill's Live Events center at the 45:00 mark.On the Sept. 30, 2010 episode, PWTorch editor Wade Keller takes calls for the full hour on a wide range of topics including WWE's women;s division, a revisiting of the Bret Hart-Vince McMahon relationship, whether John Cena might be the Raw G.M., could Smackdown go live, what's wrong with WWE's product lately, why TNA didn't just have RVD lose the title rather than run the angle where he was stripped of it, how to make PPVs special again, and more.Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/wade-keller-pro-wrestling-podcast--3076978/support.

In our last solo review before the finale, Frank breaks down Peacemaker Season 2, Episode 7, “Like a Thief in the Night.” We cover how the Earth X arc reframes the team's choices, why Adebayo finally steps from reactive to proactive, the surprising nuance to Augie in a fascist world, and how Vigilante's sacrifice resets the board for the finale. We also talk about the episode's strongest character beats, where the mechanics show, and why John Cena's work this season stands out as his best to date. untitled Timestamps and Topics 00:00 Intro, episode plan, and what's coming for the finale 00:44 Dropped into Earth X and the Argus escape 01:09 Adebayo and Judo Master connect, seeing the world for what it is 03:06 Team regroups with two Vigilantes, plans the house infiltration 04:16 A different Augie in a different world, and what that says about DCU Augie 06:15 Chris vs. the past he can't outrun 07:14 Keith's near-death, Chris's breaking point, and a choice with consequences 08:27 The portal sequence, who stays behind, and what it sets up 09:10 John Cena's leap from Season 1 to now 09:52 What worked: real consequences, character-first storytelling, grounded stakes 15:44 Where it stumbles: mechanical connectors and limited Earth X texture 17:26 Performance shoutouts: Holland, Brooks, and scene craft 18:42 Why this is a perfect penultimate chapter and what we want from the finale Key Takeaways Earth X is a mirror, not a gimmick. The episode uses the setting to highlight privilege, hate, and willful blindness, pushing Chris to confront what he doesn't see until it's too late. Adebayo steps up. She's the glue when she's active, not reactive. This is her most decisive episode of the season, rallying the team and reframing her personal accountability. Augie's complexity lands. In a world that validates him, Augie isn't “better,” but he's different. That contrast sheds light on how alienation hardened DCU Augie. Consequences feel real. Death is on the table, choices cost something, and quiet character beats carry more weight than the explosions around them. Cena levels up. The grief and surrender scenes rank among the season's best acting, selling Chris as a broken man trying to do one right thing. Minor stumbles. A few transitions feel mechanical and Earth X's texture could use more on-screen shading to heighten anxiety and stakes. Quotes “This episode is character first, even when the world is exploding around them.” “Adebayo works best when she's leading, not reacting.” “Augie isn't redeemed here, he's contextualized. The world that embraced him made a different monster.” “Cena's performance turns Chris into a man who can finally look his guilt in the eye.” Call to Action If you're enjoying these breakdowns, follow and subscribe, drop us a rating and review, and share the episode with a friend using #GeekFreaksPodcast.

Welcome back to Wrestling Tonight, your weekly look at the stories shaping wrestling across WWE, AEW, TNA, NJPW, and beyond. Episode 144 arrives at a moment when legacies and momentum converge. WWE has confirmed John Cena against AJ Styles one final time at Crown Jewel in Perth, a meeting that feels less like a simple booking and more like the closing act of an era. Cena's farewell tour has been both celebratory and bittersweet, while Styles has spoken candidly about the end drawing near. This encounter is not about championships but about legacy, and about two icons crossing paths before the curtain falls. In Japan, IYO SKY returns home to face Mayu Iwatani at Marigold's Dream Destiny on October 26. The match is more than a dream pairing. It is a homecoming steeped in personal history and shared rivalries, a moment charged with emotion that underscores just how deeply both women have shaped modern wrestling. TNA continues to walk the line between revival and uncertainty. The Beautiful People's induction into the Hall of Fame at Bound for Glory honors the company's past influence, yet the ongoing Masha Slamovich investigation casts an undeniable shadow. The crossover with NXT has brought fresh attention, but it also raises questions of dependency, leaving many to wonder if TNA's momentum is truly its own or if it remains tied to WWE's spotlight. AEW has finally introduced Women's Tag Team Championships, a long requested step forward for the division. Eddie Kingston's return to the independent scene adds another chapter to his career, while Jazwares extending its partnership through 2026 offers stability for AEW's collectors and branding. Yet the company has also been at the center of renewed debate. Gail Kim's recent remarks about Riho's presentation during AEW's early days drew criticism, while Kenny Omega defended her, pointing to production struggles in AEW's infancy and the rich tradition of smaller joshi wrestlers headlining major events in Japan. The exchange has reignited a wider conversation about how Japanese women's wrestling is understood and respected in the United States. The aftermath of TNA Victory Road and NXT No Mercy continues to ripple. Ricky Saints stunned the wrestling world by ending Oba Femi's dominant reign, Tiffany Stratton weathered controversy to secure a match with Stephanie Vaquer at Crown Jewel, and Je'Von Evans once again stood out as a rising star even as his story became entangled with Josh Briggs. Championships have changed hands, rivalries have reignited, and the path to Bound for Glory is marked by both opportunity and instability. Episode 144 is about moments that appear to be turning points but could just as easily prove to be fault lines. Cena and Styles are closing a rivalry that defined an era, SKY and Iwatani are giving Marigold a showcase that will resonate for years, TNA is testing whether it can sustain true independence, and AEW continues to grow while navigating questions of stability in both its booking and its presentation of women's wrestling. This week reminds us that momentum can be borrowed, but legacy must be earned, and that the matches which endure are remembered not only for the victories but for what they represent when the lights fade.

Join us as we ask is Gail Kim's critiques on Riho fair; should AEW end the Trios Championships or add the Women's championships; and is it a credible theory that WWE uses social media bots and purchased ALL OUT tickets to leave seats empty in an effort to hurt AEW, or is it just a conspiratorial cope? It's going to be a fun week here at The Tavern, so to make sure you do not miss anything, go to patreon.com/theturnbuckletavern for all your Tavern needs!
